Jessie J’s bob is back, baby. On Sept. 20, the singer-songwriter showed off a revamped version of her iconic blunt bob, featuring a well-timed autumnal twist. The new chin-length haircut — courtesy of Alisha Dobson at Bleach London salon — omitted the heavy bangs she wore throughout her “Domino” era, resulting in a more uniform length. Jessie J also dyed her jet black hair a gingery auburn shade this time around, drawing to mind the “pumpkin cream” hair color trend from a few years back.
After letting her dark hair grow out for years, some fans speculated that her return to such a memorable cut could also carry a deeper, more nostalgic meaning. “Are we getting Domino 2.0? I miss that era,” one commenter wrote in reference to her 2011 hit single. Others were just happy to see her rocking a look that’s so quintessentially Jessie J. “Real ones know she INVENTED this bob,” another fan added, applauding the sleek style.
In her Instagram caption, Jessie J mentioned that some people advised her to keep the hair “long and dark.” Her decision to go in the exact opposite direction is a reminder that she’s always going to do what makes her feel best. In a later video shared on Sept. 21, the star took her cut from razor-sharp to soft and slightly curled at the ends, admitting, “I have no idea who I am with this hair.” Regardless, the soft ginger shade is already a big hair color trend for the season, with celebrities like Cara Delevingne and Ciara previously debuting their own reddish tones.
