On "my hair", Ariana lets her hair down as she gets intimate with a lover. Permitting her partner to touch her hair puts her in an honest and vulnerable position. Still, she's comfortable and willing enough to do it. One of Ariana's most notable features is her signature high ponytail; in this song, she embraces her natural curls and opens up a special part of herself to someone she loves.
my hair
Ariana Grande Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you can't be scared to try
I want you to touch it softly
Like the way you do my mind
It got body and it's smooth to touch
The same way as my skin
But don't you be scared
'Cause that's why it's there
Come run your hands through my hair, ooh, baby
Said, "don't you be scared"
So come run your hands through my hair
It's been way long overdue
Just like these inches down my back
Usually don't let people touch it
But tonight, you'll get a pass
Spend my dimes and spend my time
To keep it real, sometimes it's tracks
But I don't care, mmm
So run your hands through my hair, baby
'Cause that's why it's there
Come run your hands through my hair, oh, baby
Said, "don't you be scared"
So come run your hands through my hair
Know this ain't usually me
But I might let it down for ya (mmm)
This ain't usually me (usually me)
But I might let it down for ya
(So come run your hands through my hair, baby)
('Cause that's why it's there)
(So come run your hands through my hair, baby)
(Ooh, "don't you be scared")
(Come run your hands through my hair)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
In "My Hair," Ariana Grande expresses her sensual desires and asks her lover to run their hands through her hair. She gives instructions that he should not be afraid to try, and she wants him to softly touch her hair the same way he touches her mind. The lyrics imply that her hair is an extension of her identity and femininity, and it is important to her. Although she usually does not let people touch it, she wants him to feel free to do so.
The verse "It's been way long overdue, just like these inches down my back" can be interpreted as a metaphor for other things that have been neglected in her life. It could represent an area in her life that needs attention or care, and her lover's touch could be a healing and comforting gesture.
The chorus repeats the message that her hair is there for him to touch and enjoy. She affirms her willingness to let her hair down for him and confirms that it is not typical behavior for her. The song has a seductive and intimate vibe, and the lyrics celebrate the pleasure and sensuality of human touch.

Lyrics:
I'ma give you some instructions
That you can't be scared to try
I want you to touch it softly
Like the way you do my mind
It got body and it's smooth to touch
The same way as my skin
Don't you be scared
To run your hands through my hair
Baby, 'cause that's why it's there
Come run your hands through my hair
Ooh baby, so don't you be scared
So come run your hands through my hair
It's been way long overdue
Just like these inches down my back
Usually don't let people touch it
But tonight, you get a pass
Spend my dimes and spend my time
To keep it real, sometimes, it's tracks
But I don't care
So run your hands through my hair
Baby, 'cause that's why it's there
Come run your hands through my hair
Ooh baby, so don't you be scared
So come run your hands through my hair
This ain't usually me
But I might let it down for you
This ain't usually me
But I might let it down for you
So come run your hands through my hair
Baby, 'cause that's why it's there
So come run your hands through my hair
Don't you be scared
Come run your hands through my hair
