Jennifer Lopez Debuts Short, Curly Hair

Jennifer Lopez HairAgencia Uno/Splash News Online

New season, new ‘do! Just in time for summer, Jennifer Lopez debuted a new hair color this week while in Santiago, Chile. The singer was snapped while out with beau Casper Smart on Monday, sporting a short, curly hairstyle (and an $84 moto jacket from her Kohl’s collection).

Lopez — currently on tour in Chile, Argentina and Brazil before coming to North America in July — has been working natural waves lately, a sexy contrast from her normally smooth, blown-out style. Is it her beau — or maybe the humidity? — that’s making her try something new? Tell us: Do you like Lopez’s new look?

Semms like she is trying to look younger to justify dating a man 1/2 her age.

Jester on

I may not be a JLo fan, but I must admit that I like this style and colour on her very much.

Dan on

she looks like Rhianna

Dan on

Rihanna

whatever on

this hair is more fun and it’s all weather – I should know

Guestypants on

guestabc, i don’t think she has to “justify” anything for dating a much younger man. kudos to her…she is friggin hot!

Pacific Girl on

This style looks dated. FAIL.

CindyAnn on

She just took her extensions out, what is the big deal?

Rhonda on

I would never cut off my hair IF I had JLo hair but since she already has her own hair then sure

Lc on

That’s her real hair, curly and short, the rest is ALL extensions!!! Finally her true colors ;)

Amattie on

J-LO doesn’t know WHAT next to do with herself.

Krista on

I would say she took out her extensions and her hair is naturally curly..

sally on

It looks a mess!

librababe on

Looks nice and fresh…she looks good.

christa on

She probably took out her extensions.

Nellie on

i like the cut dont like the color!! she looks too old with that dark color!

Danielle on

Hair extensions are bad for , eventually will make the hair root too weak to grow….so…she did the right thing by cutting it…..she won’t change her style for any body….she is first in any relationship……no monkey will make her change…!

Deena on

I love it!

Lake on

This is a horrible look…. any haircut with a man’s name is not a good idea. Extensions or not,longer hair suits her and makes her look younger.

Dana on

Gawd, who cares??!! Tomorrow will we hear that she clipped her toe nails?

Maya on

Where did she get her coat?????? Want it!

nk on

Is she ever with her kids? Probably doesn’t want them in the public eye but seems like it’s always about her. Selfish

Senika on

Just took out the extensions-duh. You see her in all these TV ads and she has this long silky hair. Not hers believe me. This length and texture is more like her own hair. Although I must say she looks better and hotter with the long silky hair.

Mia on

Ah no, she took the extensions out!

lk on

she looks like every other latina except her hair color isn’t brassy blonde.

SusiQ on

looks good on her. .. and I’m sure she couldn’t care less what I (or anyone else on these boards) think of her hair

TSHAPER on

I never assumed the long locks were actually hers!

she has always had very fine, thin hair that seemed incapable of producing that massive mane she was sportin’. not many women can pull that off naturally ;-}

Blair on

Madonna in the 80′s much?

judy hirshhorn on

even j.lo has to take out her extensions sometimes

Hearts4mike on

Love the haircut, suits her! What she does in her personal life is HER business and shouldn’t be judged by others. You don’t walk in her shoes.

GuestToday on

I didn’t realize she had to “justify” dating anyone. Younger or older.

HoneyWest on

I like her new look, its the weather, she wants to try something different for a change. Maybe its the climate that she’s in.

Polly on

I like it a lot. I think it makes her look younger and less severe, which is what I think when her hair is tightly pulled back. Also, to the people who have commented she made the change to fit better with her younger man — she is JLo. The man needs to fit her, not the other way around. We wouldn’t even be thinking like this if we were discussing a man’s relationship.

Lili on

Don’t like it…

Fritz on

So she took her extensions out? Why don’t they just say what they do instead of pretending they don’t “embellish”. If I had the money I’d get them too.

Monny on

I think she has been listening to her haters.

Su on

Why doesn’t anyone make snide comments about Ryan Seacrest dating Julianne Hough, she’s way younger then he is. They’ve been dating for 2 yrs and she’s only 22 yrs old now. Why is it okay for men to do it and not women?
Leave JLo alone, she’ll get tired of Babysitting Casper soon.

chuck on

Just trying to look young-when for the love of pete when is she with her kids??. FAME monger in her 40′s all smoke and mirrors literally pretending to jet set with boy toy, shame on you jlo go home.

Pat Van Alders on

-1- That’s a cheap wig she found in the dumpster & -2- It makes her look older & -3- Sorry to say she looks like a hooker!

Tina on

You know, entertainment news rarely has ANYTHING to do with entertainment. JLo’s new haircut? She took out her extensions. What’s tomorrow’s news? ‘JLo sports glittery nail polish’?

Liz on

JLO you do it up girl you’re BORICUA to the fullest represent all the way baby you look GREAT! DON’T BE FOOLED BY THE ROCKS THAT I GOT I’M STILL (JENNY FROM DA BLOCK!)

kalico on

she looks much older with this hair style. it looks messy! but thats just my opinion!

kathy James on

She could be bald AND still beautiful! SHE’s J.LO!

nita on

to the hair haters get real no extensions, hair cut, real hair revealed, it doesn’t matter its cute! on the matter of the baby shes dating, George C is older than Stacey K, but if you go cougar you gotta know your gonna be teased. its the way it goes call it sour grapes, call it good ole ribbin’ but call it reality and move on.

tash on

idky ppl hate on JLo, just because she wants to change her hair style everyone assumes she’s doin it to justify dating ah younger man. c’mon ppl, get real.

*i’m pretty sure half of the ppl that commented on her saying negative things, are jealous because yu all dont have what she has…ah life, and cute looks. pfft…all acting like HS teens.

robert on

leave the girl alone it her hair

carmen on

Wow i love the new look, plus it is good to go for a new do every now and then than having the same look all the time.. love it J -Lo

holly on

So glad the hair extensions trend seems to be coming to an end…it’s so tacky!

[...] Jennifer Lopez got her curls on [...]

USNCWYF on

Really? There’s a baby left to die in a hot car, a blind woman (wrongly)told to leave a store because she had her service dog with her, a 5y/o boy castrated by his mother, and this is what people concern themselves with? Proud to be an American…

liz on

@USNCWYF… really?? if you’re so concerned with “real” news then why are you on a celebrity website?

momofbron on

She looks like a big hair b i t ** from the 1980′s

gagirl on

Agreed, Guestypants! Her hair looks great like that.

cindy on

didn’t know she had a son that old

Shalon on

Shelooks beautiful no matter how her hair is done. And, please don’t say she looks like Rihanna. Ugh!

Debbie on

She looks great! Love the shorter hair and new color!

Debbie on

Love the new short hair and color,she looks great!!

CHARYLENE on

SHE LOOK’S GREAT . MUST HAVE ALOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE PUTTING HER DOWN BECAUSE OF A NEW HAIR STYLE
COME SHE’S BEAUTIFUL AND TALENTED AND GIFTED .

USMCWYF on

@liz- Since you are so concerned, it’s actually on a news website on my computer.

babalette on

The 80′s called – they want their hair back!!!

MD on

She looks younger. It’s super cute.

utterone on

I always thought she wore extensions. Her hair is naturally curly and there is no way that long straight hair was ever hers to begin with.

Lisa on

This is what she looked like when she started in the industry way back in the 90′s and when she was one of the fly girls in the show In Living Color. I’m sure she’ll go back to her wigs at some point!!! LOL

Kim on

Short?? Hardly…

CS on

who really cares?

jenna on

She’d look good with a bag on her head! She’s gorgeous!!!

Kim on

She looks like Whitney Houston.

Jennifer on

The 80′s called (yes, the same decade your boy toy was born on) and they want the hair, the sunglasses, and the whole outfit back!

Victoria on

She almost, looks like the old “fly” girl again..I don’t always, recognize her on Living Color…

govega on

I like it not.

Julie Prescott on

J Lo is beautiful but such a piece of work; her demands are unbelievable. Just read today her toy boy is no longer. I hope so; work on your marriage and try to save it; you have CHILDREN!!!!! stop worrying about your hair, outfits, dressing room and GET REAL!!!! Hate your attitude. Tooooo easy to get a divorce and you should fight for your family.

Julie Prescott on

the toy boy is just using her that’s for sure; now he thinks he can manage her??????????????That was her big thing with Marc; get real and grow up J. Lo….

It's Derick on

She’s going back to her fly girl dayz… Trying to be young again! Younger men, younger food, young dinner, and young lunch..

Casper could do so much better! He needs to whack Justin Beiber and get’um sum Selena Gomez!

ellie on

I think she looks waaaay better and softer.

nay on

Identical to the style she had when she was on In Living Color…..gack…someone stop this woman from bringing big 80′s hair back!

jj on

I think this is more of an age-appropriate hair style.

covyzoo on

That hairdo makes her look old.

Aska Asha on

You mean she took out her weave and let her hair go slightly natural curly. She’s still EW

George William Gockel on

The hair is for fun and the weather.

Kristy on

Big deal, she took out all her extensions-boy toy probably got tired of getting his fingers stuck in there…

MB on

Love it!

Pamela on

Isn’t that Leif Garrett?

Pamela on

It’s Leif Garrett, isn’t it?

jennifer14225 on

I like it. It is her in the Natural. Beautiful. Most younger men have more energy. Her choice.

jennifer14225 on

I like it. Her beautiful natural self. Keep it…Younger men usually have more energy. Her choice..

hawaiiwoman on

No matter how old she is or how young her man is, she’s still a gorgeous woman.

Ronnie on

She just took out her weave and got a trim. No biggie. She has always had short curly hair even when on In LIving Color. She has definitely changed since those days, shed a ton of weight, got nose job. Good look for Jenny from the Block. Her new boo? Meh…

Tiffany on

I’m sorry but it looks like she is taking her son out to dinner. Maybe she is happy but honestly she looks ridiculous, and yes, I would say the same about a man dating a girl half his age.

quadcity10 on

I think she looks like Jennifer Grey from Dirty Dancing with that fluffy curly hair.

Susan on

JL has revealed a new,natural self. Probably at her new boyfriend’s urging. All these extensions, they look so fake and older! Everyone has them, everyone looks alike. Not a big fan of the singer, but kudos to her for changing it up. Finally.

Dale on

Who cares.She is beautiful with long,short or no hair.SHE IS ALL THAT!!

Dee on

Another win for J.Lo, can this woman do any wrong?

et on

WHO CARES? LOL
