Doja Cat has switched up her signature avant-garde hairdos for a flowy caramel wave, but she has a message for the haters who thought her previous styles were too out-there. In her words, “I felt like giving the boring lemon water drinkers a taste of something pretty, so now you can shut up and leave me alone, bye!”
In true Doja Cat fashion, this 90s-inspired hairdo was achieved with a wig from wig designer, Dominic Ackah-Amihere, and expert styling by her go-to hair wizard, JStayReady. But don’t worry, she’s not turning her back on her bold beauty statements anytime soon.
The secret to Doja’s soft curls? A big-barrelled curling iron, a wide-tooth comb, and some wizardry by JStayReady. And while she may have rocked her buzz cut at Paris Fashion Week and other events after shaving her head in August 2022, she’s still got a soft spot for wigs.
Doja explained in a recent interview with Variety that shaving her head was a freeing experience and made wig installation so much easier. She said, “I was like, ‘I need to do something’ so I just chopped it off. And I could see the shape of my head, my whole face, my ears, now that I don’t have a wig that’s glued to my forehead… it’s the best choice I’ve ever made and I’ve never felt more beautiful.”
And as for the wigs? Doja says they look even better now that she doesn’t have to deal with greasy braids and glue buildup from not washing her hair for weeks on end. Now she has a “shake-and-go hair hat” that she slaps on, making her look like a “little Pulp Fiction girl.”
