Lady Gaga Proves Her New 'Bouffant Bob' is Perfect For Anyone With Fine Hair

Publish date: 2024-09-16

Do you remember the days when Lady Gaga really was a bit gaga, and constantly surprised us with wild new looks? For a few years now, the singer and actress has been presenting a different, quieter side of herself — often even going without much makeup. Her style could be described as pretty classic: her makeup is usually a simple swipe of eyeliner, while her hair is usually long(ish), and platinum blonde. So Lady Gaga surprised us all when she debuted her new hairstyle — a bob. Or, should we say, a ‘bouffant bob’.

Lady Gaga's bouffant bob, in detail

The star shared a snap of her new bob on Instagram in two different posts — one, a full-body picture, and the other, a portrait. Her look is all kinds of gorgeous in both photos… her platinum blonde hair, now much shorter, looks particularly chic in the black and white pictures.

Not only is Lady Gaga's hair significantly cropped — her new bob is also set in beautiful 1920s bouncy curls.

How to recreate Lady Gaga's bouffant bob

First of all, your hair should be cut to a long bob length – obviously. While Lady Gaga's bob may look pretty short, remember, it loses some length thanks to her large, twisted curls. Worried about going for the chop? You can find out whether short hair suits you with our hair length test. For this particular look, it's better to opt for a blunter cut – all hair should be the same length.

Post-cut, the best way to create Gaga's iconic 1920s curls is with large rollers — and lots of hairspray. Create a deep side part, wind the hair onto large rollers, clamp them in place and leave them in overnight (or for as long as possible). Before taking them out, spritz them again with plenty of hairspray and then carefully remove them. The front section can be gently detangled, while the curls at the back can be invisibly secured into place with clips at the nape of the neck.
