She may be 78 years old but Cher sure does know how to debut a hair transformation; from her trademark black raven locks to platinum bouffant switch-ups and most recently, her sandy blonde waves, the singer is a beauty OG. Listen and learn, friends.
Following her otherworldly on-stage performance at the 2024 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, last night [October 16], Cher took to the grand reopening of The New York Burberry Flagship Store. Before entering, the icon posed for a couple of pap shots (as one does) and at the same time, debuted a fresh new hair look.
She's only gone and ditched her signature 'do and replaced it with sandy blonde beachy waves. OK, mermaid Cher!
To top off the new colour (which, to note, may have been achieved via a wig), Cher has had her hair styled in textured waves. To recreate a similar look at home, we recommend using a finishing texture spray along with a heated waver tool. Our faves ATM are the amika un.done volume and matte texture spray paired with the brand's high tide deep waver.
Tousled, Cher-approved hair, here we come!
