For most people, adding a slight curl to their hair wouldn’t attract attention. But when Hailey Bieber steps out, we take note. You see, Bieber has something of a hair uniform. There’s the slicked-back bun that spawned an entire subsection of hair trends; the flicked bob; the long bronde she’s been sporting for a while; and the brunette she likes to pull out whenever things feel too the same. What she’s not done for a hot minute (years, we think) is put a proper curl in.
The Rhode founder, seen in New York with husband Justin, attended the New York Knicks game with curly hair. Sure, she’s done red-carpet waved tendrils and even a blown-out wave with her chin-length bob, but never these bouncy, undulating curls.
Bieber, who gave birth to baby Jack Blues Bieber in August last year, kept her usual color: warm brown with a slightly auburn undertone but, until now, had stuck to her sleek, straight go-to styles for running around the city. Maybe she’s pre-empting the change-everything-now mindset that arrives come spring or post-baby but HB is proving she’s ready for something new.
