If there's one thing you can depend on Jennifer Lopez for (besides her Herculean ability to sing and dance at the same time / Benjamin Button-esque way of ageing backwards / Oscar-worthy acting skills), it's her ability to shake it up, hair-wise.
2020 has already been a wild ride when it comes to Jlo's strands. We've seen everything from a 70s fringe to Rapunzel hair extensions, badass striped highlights to chunky highlights, space buns (a personal favourite, I won't lie) to the single best messy beach bun I've ever had the honour of digitally witnessing. And let's not forget the time she took hair inspo from a Barbie doll (obsessed).
But with the help of celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton, she's come through with yet another blazer of a look - this time, seeming to take inspiration from the wave of shags and mullets we've seen this year (hello, Miley, Maisie, Cara, Billie and Rihanna, to mention a few...)
Obviously, Jlo's a classic gal, so she's gone for something slightly more low-key than a full-on mullet. But, that said, it's still absolutely epic, with her natural texture and curls worked into a halo of shorter layers up top, and longer spirals in the lower sections of her hair.
Can we talk about how this look also somehow spans decades, taking all the best parts of hairstyles through the 70s, 80s and 90s, bringing them into a totally modern, volumised mane?
And let's not even get into how this woman is able to suit literally every hairstyle under the sun - I could be here all day.
If you're keen to recreate using your own curly layers, ditch the hairbrush and scrunch-dry a curl-hold serum into damp hair, upside-down using a diffuser extension on a cool heat.
And there you have it - an absolutely enviable shag in 15 minutes, tops.
Count me in.
