JLo, JLo, JLo, if only you knew the regular joy you bring us. What can we say? The woman knows good glam and, boy, does she have the range. We recently rejoiced in her sunset blonde highlights and revelled at her choppy fringe, but today she's serving one of her trademark looks... and serving it well. This bouncy blowout is so big and juicy it stopped us in our tracks.

This snap in particular, shared by her manicurist Tom Bachik, shows the full glory of the do, with the woman herself sharing several more snaps from the steamy shoot for underwear brand Intimissimi.

We haven't tracked down the hair stylist for the shoot yet but we have a few contenders in mind. One of whom created a blowout even bigger, in fact, than this one. And who is Jennifer Lopez's bouncy blow competition? JLo of course. She's only competing with herself; she's in a league of her own.

Back in June, the icon was rocking the biggest bouncy blowout we've ever seen in campaign shots with Revolve. Just look at the size of it, there's a whole face-width of hair on either side of her actual face. How does it all stay up? Is it witchcraft? Is it Photoshop? No silly, it's the one and only Chris Appleton.

One of my favourite things about this super-sized blowout in particular, is that rather than go for extreme height with a huge beehive bouffant, this takes the less common path of really building out the volume in the mid-lengths. The result is this incredible, powerful cascade of hair tumbling around the shoulders displaying every curl and highlight with such power. Obsessed.

Could Chris be behind this latest blowout? Or perhaps her go-to stylist Andrew Fitzsimons? Whoever it was, they've knocked it out of the park.
