We associate Kacey Musgraves with a lot of things: country-pop princess realness, iconic red carpet looks, unforgettable musical collaborations and, of course, her remarkably long hair. While she’s experimented with styling her waist-skimming strands in different ways, the Texas-born singer has not strayed far from her long hair throughout her career.
If you’re anything like me and are desperately trying to grow your hair to Musgraves-level length, you know that achieving hair that long and healthy—I mean, have you seen how shiny and thick it is, too?—is no easy feat. I’ve long assumed that Musgraves had a long list of hair-health products in tow, and while that may be true, it turns out that her biggest secret to maintaining long, healthy hair is totally free.
Kacey Musgraves’ Biggest Hair Secret
While we personally have never seen Musgraves with anything other than hip-length strands, the singer revealed in an interview with PEOPLE that she swore off short hair after some years of experimenting. “I’m a long hair girly—I’ve tried chopping it off before, and it does not feel right,” she told the outlet. “I’m not doing it again. I look really silly with that small ponytail—like a founding father!”
So, how does Musgraves keep her signature long hair in shape? The secret is simpler than you may think. “I just try not to wash it that much,” she reveals. As someone who is on her hair growth and health journey right now, I’m going to be keeping a much closer eye on how often I’m washing my hair if it means I’ll end up with strands like Kacey.
