So, is Ice Spice's ginger hair real and does she wear a wig? Here's all of Ice Spice's most iconic hairstyles and a deeper dive into her natural tresses.
Does Ice Spice have natural curly ginger hair?
Ice Spice often wears her hair in a short and curly ginger afro across red carpet and performance looks.
To no surprise, fans assume that this is the rapper's natural hair colour, but it is actually more of a dark brown or black shade.
After a picture of the 'Deli' rapper in high school showing her with long black straightened hair, Ice Spice told MTV that the picture is real.
"This is me. Junior High, I think. Or something like that," she says.
"A lot of people think that my hair is naturally straight and that I wear like a curly wig or something, but my hair was straightened this day," she says, pointing to the old picture.
"So my hair's always been curly since I was born, but, yeah, that's me."
Does Ice Spice wear a wig? Her best long hair looks
As well as treating us to serve after serve with her short curly hair, Ice Spice also rocks the long ginger hair in both curly and straight styles.
We can assume she wears a wig for these looks, and speaking about them to Vogue, she said she's pretty much tried everything.
"Every time I change my hair, I look like a different person. I've done curly wigs, straight wigs, short wigs, long wigs; I've done braids, swoops — basically everything. I tried everything and just got back to square one."
