Leave it to Jennifer Lopez to start the year with 2021’s most aspirational hair. ICYMI, the singer performed in Times Square on New Year’s Eve with her signature blonde mane in top shape, thanks to hairstylist Chris Appleton. Appleton, the mastermind behind Lopez’s viral Super Bowl look, was inspired by J.Lo’s head-banging choreography. “We went for a bang, kind of shag look. There’s a little bit of a rock and roll vibe, so we wanted to kind of emphasize that on the hair, so when Jen shakes her hair, you can see it all moving,” Appleton explains. “The Color Wow Dream Coat for Curly Hair really helped me get some texture in the hair and then just curling the hair, leaving the ends out and then a blast of texturizing spray really did the job of giving this lived in, sexy rock and roll vibe.” Ahead, Appleton breaks down the biggest hair trends of 2021.
