Chrissy Teigen Just Got the Coolest New Bangs
When you’re Chrissy Teigen, you’ve always got a lot to be thankful for, but the past two weeks have been especially stellar for everyone’s favorite imaginary best friend. She baked for the Kardashians (after landing an exclusive invite to Kim’s fragrance launch/baby shower); landed a spot at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show (even if fake); and she just announced that she’s welcoming a huge new addition to her life—bangs. Kidding, she’s having a baby! But we’ve covered that already, and she really did get bangs, so let’s get on to this other big chapter for her.
Teigen, along with her hairstylist Jen Atkin, posted a video to Instagram last night of her cut. And because the internet has a strange fascination with speculating whether a celebrity’s hair change is “real” or not, the two made it abundantly clear. “It’s really my hair; I love it,” Chrissy says in the clip as Jen tugs at the top of her head, proving that this is, in fact, the actual hair on her head, chopped into the coolest brow-grazing bangs we’ve seen this season.
Take a look.
Another great hallmark of this cut are the layered ends, which are actually quite opposite from the blunt cuts Atkin’s given every celebrity to cross her scissors this year. Not that it’d be surprising for Teigen to be paving the way for a new trend, especially given the timing with baby number two. She set off a chain reaction back in early 2016 when she got a lob, which also happened to be when she was carrying Luna. And that cut is still going strong.
Of course, the gospel of pregnancy hair—in all its glorious, shiny abundance—is no secret. Thanks to the shift in hormones that occurs, you shed less hair over the course of nine months, leaving your strands looking thicker and fuller than usual. Clearly, Chrissy knows how to take advantage of it.
So, to the 60 percent who told her not to get bangs earlier this week, may Twitter forgive your sins. And to Chrissy, congratulations, your new addition is beautiful. I’ll keep my eye out for an invite to its shower. We’re doing that now for big beauty arrivals, too, right?
