32 Jennifer Lopez Hair Moments to Inspire Your Next Hairstyle

Straight from the block, Lopez wore her hair in tight corkscrew curls to a film premiere in 1997. 

Lopez kept the focus on her features by pulling back the top layers of her hair into a classic half-up half-down hairstyle. She left two face-framing tendrils out, as you did in the '90s. 

Only J.Lo could pull off the '90s hair trend that still makes us cringe when we look back at it. She accessorized her crimped strands with two rhinestone covered barrettes. 

The first of many times that J.Lo convinced us to break out our flat irons to try to emulate a finish as flyaway-free as hers. Chances are you probably brought a photo of J.Lo's striped highlights to the salon as reference for your own color. 

The star brought a bit of the '70s to the 2001 Teen Choice Awards with her Farrah Fawcett-inpsired long shag with flipped-out ends. 

Lopez took her curls to new heights at the 2002 Oscars. She teased her roots for extra volume before reaching for a curling iron to create her ringlets. 

What do you do when you're sick of the same wavy styles you always wear to formal events? Stick a flower behind your ear like J.Lo. 

With ringlets piled and pinned high on her head, J.Lo's Gigi  premiere hairstyle probably resembles the one you wore to prom in the early '00s—except so much chicer. 

J.Lo dressed up her low pony with a set of long, side-swept bangs. 

Of course J.Lo makes the high pony that you usually reserve for the gym look totally chic. She loosely curled the tail to elevate the style for the red carpet. 

Before the sleek, blunt lob was the biggest hair trend of the past few years, J.Lo wore the style in 2005. Would you really expect anything less from Jenny? Her cut had minimal layers and a side-swept bang.

This updo isn't one that can be executed in five minutes, but if you have the time and are willing to put in the effort, your take on J.Lo's elegant twist is guaranteed to look just as glam. 

J.Lo's waves are exactly what we wished ours look like after taking a curling iron to our hair. Although the star never really veers too far from her usual hair color, she changed up her honey brown strands by going a bit darker to a rich auburn shade. 

A red carpet hairstyle that looks effortless while still managing to be sophisticated is always a win. End of story. 

The star channeled Old Hollywood by styling her hair in voluminous curls. She lifted her roots and tightly curled her ends with an iron. 

J.Lo channeled the swinging '60s with her mod-inspired beehive updo. 

Let J.Lo's soft, piecey fringe serve as proof that bangs can be versatile. This style with tapered sides can be worn blown-out straight as seen on the star, or side-swept. 

A classic updo is always a good idea. While DIYing this look at home is possible, it will take some time and a whole lot of hairspray to make sure it doesn't fall halfway through the night. 

A full ballerina bun is always a red carpet win. Recreating a similar style is fairly simple. We recommend spritzing lots of hairspray on your finished product for extra insurance

J.Lo gave her curls a retro spin by brushing them over to one side at the 2013 Golden Globe Awards. 

While Lopez's updos are usually full and voluminous, the knotted bun she wore on the 2013 Grammy Awards red carpet was tight and understated.

Lopez has rocked a lob before, but this time around she added long bangs and layers with feathery ends for added texture and movement. 

The star took her smooth, straight hair to new, waist-grazing lengths. We're still amazed at how her hair doesn't have a flyaway in sight.
