In September, Jennifer Lopez [1] debuted a new hairstyle at the premiere of Hustlers. Her hair was chopped straight across along the ends, turning it into a trendy lob, and had brighter blonde highlights added through, making her look like a Greek statue dipped in gold. Hairstylist Chris Appleton [2] styled it sleek and straight for the occasion, showing off the blunt ends [3].
But it seems the singer and actor was ready for a 2020 refresh to her cut. In February, Lopez attended the Film Independent Spirit Awards with a slightly shorter look, cut in extra layers and styled straight. It also appears that the coloured pieces at the front of her hair — which UK colourist Jack Howard calls "money pieces [4]" — were refreshed to brighten the overall hue and emphasise her bone structure. The layers and lighter hue gives Lopez an almost entirely different hairstyle with a very little lift.
So, if you're considering a new hairstyle for Autumn [5] but aren't yet ready for a dramatic change, talk to your hairdresser about taking tips from Lopez's updated lob [6] by simply layering the cut and highlighting the front pieces of the hair. Get a closer look at Lopez's new hair, ahead.
