How to Get a Jennifer Lopez Hairstyle

Recently Jennifer Lopez has changed her hairstyle from a long curling hairstyle to a shoulder length bob style. In addition to the bob style she has long side-swept bangs to give a personal touch to the traditional bob style. If you want to get a hairstyle like Jennifer Lopez then you can either take a photo of her to your hairdresser and ask them to style it for you or you can follow the following steps to do it yourself at home.

Styling Steps to A Jennifer Lopez Hairstyle

Step One: Washing

The first thing you need to do to get a Jennifer Lopez hairstyle is to shampoo and condition your hair with a product that is specifically designed for your hair texture and condition. For those who have highlighted hair like Jennifer Lopez it is a good idea to use a moisture enhanced or color enriched shampoo and conditioner. You can dilute the shampoo formula to protect your hair if you have a dry texture as a result of chemical processing.

A volume enhancing shampoo can be used by those who have fine or thin hair. Rinse-out conditioning products should be avoided since they will make the hair soft and flat. If it is necessary that you use a rinse-out conditioner then you should use it sparingly and only on the middle to the ends of the hair. After shampooing and conditioning your hair you should rinse it well with cool water so increase the volume and shine level of your hair.

Step Two: After Washing

After washing your hair you should towel dry only and if you need to detangle it should be done from the ends up to the roots. If you need it you should add a volumizing gel or other products to the roots. A leave-in conditioner, mousse or gel can be a good addition for protection against heat and add body. These products should be applied from the top of the ears to the ends of the hair with even distribution. A volume product with a smoothing serum can also be used for those who have hair that tends to frizz or has a natural wave or curl to it.

Step Three: Brushing

You should use a boar’s head or natural round brush when blow drying your hair to help straighten the hair and give it additional body. You can also use a round brush at the roots to help lift up your hair and add volume at the roots. It is also helpful if you direct the air flow from the blow dryer towards the root. After your hair is dry use a round brush to roll individual sections and direct the blow dryer towards the ends which helps to straighten the hair and add additional shine. A blast of cool air is helpful to finish the hair if possible. Then you need to use a comb and apply the needed part in the hairstyle for your individual preferences and needs.

Step Four: Curling

If your like Jennifer Lopez’s curl style better than her bob style then you will need to separate the hair into two or three inch sections. Start on the sides near the roots and create big curls with a one and a half inch curling iron. After releasing the curl pin it into place carefully with a bobby pin. Do this until the hair is completely finished and then allow it to air dry until completely cool. Then you should spray the curls with hairspray or a volume spray before unpinning the curls.
