Have you noticed how Jennifer Lopez’s hair has gotten really big lately? There’s volume and curls and a heck of a lot of product going on. One new mum once told me that she went through three bottles of hair mousse in the months after giving birth, because big hair made her post-birth body look smaller. So perhaps that’s it. Or maybe Jennifer is just a control freak. Madonna’s similar – never steps out without a curl being sprayed into perfect place – even if she’s only going to the gym. It must be hard being a control freak when you’re as famous as Jennifer and Madonna. The paparazzi are always lying in wait of a bad hair day. And you can’t control pap pics like you can studio ones (did you know magazines are often presented with celebrity photos that have already been airbrushed to within an inch of their lives?).
Speaking of studio shoots, someone I know who knows someone who knows someone who was on a Jennifer Lopez shoot (or something like that – boy, I am so connected) told me that the way she always has that glamorous big hair going on in her photos is via two wind machines. Yes, two. One on each side, aimed at each other. Apparently the gusts of air meet in the middle and somehow combine to make hair-blowing magic. Just a tip for when you’re styling your next glamour shoot.
