Fiorella Mannoia and her hair, they are inseparable. We think of them when we talk about her, as well as her most famous songs. Competing at the 2024 Sanremo Festival with the song Mariposaresurfaces with its very vaporousness red and leonine hair. The 69-year-old star has already been to Sanremo five times, the first in 1981 with Hot black coffeethen with How things changed in 1984 And What women don't say in 198among other hits. But she doesn't even think about changing. On the Sanremo stage she is always the same in her white dress and she receives applause.
Her now iconic style, with carrot hair, with curls that are the result of continuous aesthetic improvement over the years, are the signature of a style that she has sewn upon herself and that makes her immediately recognisable.
But what lies behind this immutable look? A tool defined by herself as inseparable. Fiorella Mannoia revealed to Smiles and Songs who always carries a curling iron, would you have ever imagined it? Yes, Fiorella Mannoia you do not have hair wild but defined curls: they are the result of obsessive care. In fact, if you think about it, they are not frizzy but compact, sometimes collected in a ponytail at the back to keep them under control.
Fiorella is in fact a manual of wisdom when it comes to hair, especially because often those who have hair as curly as hers never know how to manage it. In fact, at the beginning she tried a long, even cut with a parting in the middle but it wasn't the best solution to tame her frizzy, thick and voluminous hair, something else was needed.

So he found his solution in a cut mullet which over time has changed only in length and color, always in the red palette, like all the shades of the sunsetwhich she herself sang about, and as strong as the first day. The ones on her hair seem to be just like her, evergreen, they don't feel the passing of the years. Fiorella, who married last year, to Carlo di Fancesco, 26 years younger than her, moreover he doesn't believe in old age, told Vanity Fair in the past «Old age is a matter of the body, of muscles. The rest is an invention. Old age doesn't exist.” Maybe that's why her look has remained frozen over time, since we discovered her in the '80s. Old road that works cannot be changed. And Fiorella with her imperturbable curls works.
Enjoy the evolution of her curls over the years below.
