BLACKPINK Rosé has bleached her roots every two weeks for seven years, hairstylist reveals

BLACKPINK's hairstylist has revealed that Rosé bleaches her hair every two weeks.

On an online forum, netizens discussed and reacted to a recent interview with BLACKPINK's hairstylist ChaCha (Cha Jong Hyun), who is in charge of hair styling for BLACKPINK, Sunmi, i-dle, and more.

Citing Rosé’s blonde hair as one of his signature works, ChaCha shared that he has been bleaching Rosé's roots every other week for the past seven years.

"Rosé has maintained her blonde hair for about seven years. She dyes it once every two weeks. I felt like it might be too often, so I told her, 'Rosé, for the health of your hair and scalp, how about we take a little more time between sessions?' But Rosé said, 'Rather than the health of my hair and scalp, what matters more to me is how I appear to the public,'" he said.

The stylist added that whenever it is time for a touch up and Rosé happens to be overseas, he flies out to her location, whether it is Paris or the U.S., to keep up the routine.

"Two weeks have passed, and Rosé is in the United States or Paris. What do I do? There is no choice but to go. I take a same day business trip," he explained. "For places like Los Angeles or San Francisco on the U.S. West Coast, I arrive in the morning, reach Rosé’s hotel by noon, have lunch, and then proceed with the bleaching and dyeing. It usually takes about three to four hours. After finishing, I return to my hotel to shower, and by 7 p.m., I head back to the airport."

"It takes 12 hours to fly to Los Angeles, but I stay in the United States for less than 12 hours. It is exhausting. It takes 14 hours to get to Paris. I even developed issues with my pelvis and tailbone," candidly describing the physical toll of his frequent same day overseas trips.

He continued, "So I told her, 'I think business trips might be a bit difficult.' Thankfully, she booked me a business class ticket, all for a one day schedule. That is her level. Just because someone is wealthy does not mean they would automatically book business class. It shows how much she cares about me. That made me work even harder."

In a warm tone, the stylist once wrote on Instagram: "Where to next?? My work trip this time was fun once again. The return home is always exhausting, but let's go everywhere around the world~~."

Seeing this, netizens expressed their amazement that Rosé has maintained such a demanding routine for seven consecutive years, especially with something as taxing as bleaching her roots so frequently.

Meanwhile, ChaCha also revealed that Jennie once told him she would "call the police" if her hair became damaged or had to be cut due to bleach.

Reactions include:

"Rosé must be barely holding up thanks to her strong scalp and wealth... Even then, her hair looks quite broken. An average person would not be able to endure this."

"She must have a really strong scalp. Blonde suits her so well though."

"Wow, seven years already.."

"That is some expensive root touch up."

"I am obviously jealous of her wealth, but I am even more jealous of her scalp and hair. If you bleach like that, it usually cannot survive."

"I bleached my hair four times and almost went bald. I envy her hair volume the most."

"Is her scalp really okay?"

"Her hair honestly looks seriously damaged in photos though."

"Wow, no matter what, it is amazing that she has maintained bleached hair for over seven years."

"Rosé must have it really tough..."

"It seems really unhealthy for the body, but I guess she is still young."

"Even if she has money, a skilled stylist, and a strong scalp, it is still amazing."

"I am jealous of her wealth."

"You would understand if you have tried bleaching. This is something only money can handle. Of course, that is assuming your hair health can keep up. You have no idea how fast black roots grow in. Whenever I see Rosé, I honestly think she is incredible."

"This is not even about hair texture. She really needs to take care of her scalp. I am sure Rosé is managing it well herself, but I am still a bit worried."

"Can she not just wear a wig?? That might be better instead of chemicals directly touching her scalp."

"I wonder why she insists on staying blonde."

"If it is once every two weeks, that means 26 times a year."

"I think it was Dayoung who mentioned it before, but even styles that make it look like her black roots have grown out are actually root touch ups too. That is also dyed separately. Either way, that stylist is definitely essential."

"It is impressive that she can endure that."

"It seems like it has become her signature, but I would like to see her in other colors too."

"She is a celebrity, so she probably takes great care of herself. Worrying might be unnecessary, right? If an average person did that, I would immediately think it is bad for their health lol."

"Wow, I wonder how many airline miles that stylist has."

"I wonder how much he gets paid for those business trips."

In other news, BLACKPINK recently released their 3rd mini album 'DEADLINE,' selling 1.46 million copies in a single day. Rosé also became the first K-pop artist in history to win a BRIT Award, receiving the 'International Song of the Year' award for "APT."
