Dolly Parton is credited with saying, “The higher the hair, the closer to God,” and she has spent the last five decades consistently practicing what she preaches. Even her shortest styles back in the ‘60s were fluffed up to the max, and it looks like those retro styles might have inspired the religious experience that is Beyoncé’s latest look.
Beyoncé kicked off the new week (and the new season—happy fall!) by posting a series of photos on Instagram promoting her whisky brand, SirDavis, (and a subtle shoutout to her hair-care brand, Cécred, in one of the pics). But she also makes an extremely strong case for getting a bob. But not just any bob—a big, old-school country bob.
Styled smooth and straight with an inward bend, this bob has planetary dimensions. It surrounds Beyoncé’s head with helmet-like cushioning and unreal volume extending in every direction. Even in the first photo of the carousel where she’s wearing a cowboy hat, you can tell, underneath that Stetson, she’s got serious upward inches.
This, of course, isn’t the first time Beyoncé has gone for a bob. She really loved the look about 10 years ago.
