Jennifer Lopez is renowned for her glamorous, long hair, which has become one of her signature looks over the years. Known for rocking chic ponytails that cascade down to her back or waist-length blowouts, Lopez often relies on hair extensions to achieve her show-stopping hairstyles. Her hairstylist, Chris Appleton, has shared in a now-deleted 2019 Instagram post that Lopez loves clip-in bangs, and a 2024 video posted on X (formerly known as Twitter) showed the singer pulling extensions from her hair during a performance. Appleton uses the 22″ Double Hair Set Clip-Ins in the color Blondette when styling Lopez for her iconic looks. At times, Lopez has gone even bolder, such as when she wore 50-inch, poker-straight hair to the 2018 Billboard Latin Music Awards.
Despite her dependence on extensions for her signature glam, Lopez has also embraced her natural hair on several occasions. In 2021, the star shared a beachside video on Instagram, showcasing her natural curly hair in a round bob. Her curls gently blew in the ocean breeze, and fans were quick to praise her unstyled, natural look. One follower commented, “Love you in the natural look, just you at the beach,” while another added, “You look so pretty with curly hair.”
In early 2024, Lopez surprised her followers by ditching extensions once again, opting for a short, sleek hairstyle. During Paris Fashion Week, she posted several photos sporting a bell-bottom bob, a trendy, flippy haircut. Her dark brown hair, which stopped just below her ears, was free of extensions, offering a more natural and less voluminous appearance. Fans were excited by the change, with one commenting, “Best Haircut Ever,” while another said, “Omg you look so young with that hair.” The post garnered over 1.3 million likes.
This wasn’t the first time Lopez had posed without extensions. In 2015, she shared a car selfie on Facebook, where her hair was styled in a similar length to her 2024 bob but with a more relaxed look. Captioned “Short hair don’t care,” the selfie showcased Lopez’s natural beauty, even without her usual hair accessories.
Whether with short, long, or extension-free hair, Jennifer Lopez continues to prove that she can pull off any look, captivating fans with her versatile hairstyles.
