But while staying home and social distancing, many Hollywood stars don't have access to the tools and teams they normally work with.
Instead, celebrities like Ariana Grande, Tamera Mowry-Housley, and Kylie Jenner are all embracing their natural styles while quarantined.

Along with people around the world, many celebrities are staying home and social distancing.

As a result, many are choosing to ditch makeup and give their skin some time to breathe. Similarly, many Hollywood stars are using this time to embrace their natural hairstyles. Kylie Jenner, for example, is leaving wigs behind to go on a "hair health journey." Tamera Mowry-Housley, on the other hand, is wearing her natural curls.

Here's how some celebrities are styling their hair while quarantined.

Nikki Bella mentioned her gray hair in a "no-filter post" about her pregnancy on Instagram.

"Quarantine has reminded me of the sparkles (grays) and wild eyebrows I have and the goals I have made throughout my life and want to focus more on," the former wrestler wrote in her Instagram post.

She also added: "It's pretty amazing to start to see the real, natural you again, right? Without all the beauty appointments and makeup everyday. I hope in this time we can start to love ourselves more. Appreciate the flaws, the changes, our age."

Jessie J said on Instagram that she wants to start wearing her "natural hair texture more."

"My 'curls' are more just mess," the musician wrote. "So if anyone else has messy hair like mine, I would appreciate any recommendations on good vegan and cruelty-free hair products for... you guessed it. *Said in a game show presenter voice* 'Meeessssy haaaaaair.'"

Katy Perry embraced her brunette roots while social distancing.

She shared a selfie to Instagram on March 29. In the caption, she wrote: "Hope your stay-at-home plans tonight include joining me for a beautiful and breezy episode of #AmericanIdol, taped in heavenly Hawaii back in January and February."

She also shared a photo of herself "pre-quarantine" to show how her style has changed in just a matter of weeks.

In an Instagram story on Monday, the "Dynasty" actress wrote "fell asleep with my hair wet" across a photo of her hair.

Kevin Hart described himself as a "frequent dyer" while showing his partially gray hair on Instagram.

While social distancing, Hart decided he would record himself telling stories he's never shared publicly before. In the caption of his first video, he wrote: "Confessions from The Hart. I got stories for days."

"P.S. I have always had a s--- load of grey hair," he continued. "I was just a frequent dyer. I'm not working right now so I said F--- IT."

Gabrielle Union-Wade said she's using this time of social distancing to wear her natural hairstyle.

"When your natural locks appreciate the lockdown," she wrote alongside a video of herself showing off her curls. "Unlocking the secret soon... #InTheLab #QuarantineNaturalHairChronicles #FrederickDouglassRealness."

That same day, Union shared a photo of herself and her daughter, writing: "See @kaaviajames mama's got hair like yours!! When I took my braids out she was like now mom & baby both rocking their natural curls. #QuarantineNaturalHairChronicles."

"Hello grays," she wrote on Instagram alongside the selfie. "No getting my hair done during #socialdistancing, and I'm okay with it!"

You might be used to seeing Ariana Grande with a high ponytail, but she actually has naturally curly hair.

The musician shared a photo of her curly locks to Twitter on March 30, writing: "get a load a dis." Her mother, Joan Grande, seemed to love the photo, as she replied with two different tweets.

"Beyond stunning," she first wrote. She later added: "your natural hair/curls is a world of its own... a magnificent beauty you are inside and out/ made up or natural ... I love you..."

Kylie Jenner is going on a "hair health journey" while social distancing.

Over the weekend, Jenner shared a photo of her natural hair — which reaches her shoulders and is a light-brown shade — on a now-deleted Instagram story. She also wrote "hair health journey rn" across the photo to explain that she's staying away from dye and wigs for the time being.
