Jennifer Lopez's Hair At The 2020 AMAs Wasn't A Fan Fave - But She Got The Last Laugh
Jennifer Lopez loves an eye-catching red carpet look. But while the actor-singer consistently comes up with some of the best awards show ensembles, she has made the rare style misstep. One of her most criticized looks comes from the 2020 American Music Awards. At this event, it wasn't her outfit that internet users took issue with — it was her hair. Lopez wore a draped silver top and matching skirt from Balmain, which she paired with a wet-look bob.
Many Instagram users at the time disliked Lopez's unique hairstyle at the time. However, the look has since garnered an audience that appreciates it. Just a few years after Lopez's AMA appearance, the wet hair look became popular. Stars like Zendaya and Bella Hadid were all pictured rocking the style, solidifying it as one of the hottest hair trends in Hollywood. Even though the "All I Have" singer was a bit early to the trend, her 2020 AMA hairstyle has aged incredibly well over the years. It's not hard to see why Jennifer Lopez is rarely on the worst-dressed list; even her most divisive looks have become influential and on-trend.
Here's how to achieve the Jennifer Lopez wet hair look
The wet blond bob Jennifer Lopez rocked at the 2020 American Music Awards is an incredibly sultry look — and it's not difficult to recreate at home. Celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton was responsible for Lopez's red carpet hair (he has also created similar looks for celebs like Kim Kardashian), and has explained how he achieves the perfect wet look.
In a press release about Lopez's 2020 AMA appearance (per The Zoe Report), Appleton explained that he uses the Color Wow Dream Coat for Curly Hair on wet hair, dries it with a diffuser, then locks it in with a glossing serum. To create Lopez's flawless waves, Appleton used a curling iron gently from the roots to the ends of her hair. He finished the look with the Extra Mist-ical Shine Spray, which, according to Appleton, created the wet look's long-lasting shine. Based on this, it isn't difficult to recreate Lopez's 2020 wet look, but just remember that high-quality products and a good grasp of the curling iron technique are necessary to make the wet hair look last all day.
