Dolly Parton is said to have said, “The longer your hair, the closer you are to God,” and she’s been living that phrase consistently for the past 50 years. Even her shortest styles in the ’60s were as fluffed as possible, and that retro style may have inspired Beyoncé’s latest look: a religious experience.
Beyoncé has kicked off a new week (and season—merry fall!) with a series of Instagram photos promoting her whiskey brand, Sir Davis (one of which even features a subtle reference to her haircare brand, Secreto), but she’s insisting on having a bob—and not just any bob, but a big, old-fashioned country bob.
Styled sleek and straight with inward curves, this bob is the size of a planet, cushioning Beyoncé’s head like a helmet and expanding with unreal volume in every direction. Even in the first carousel photo, where she’s wearing a cowboy hat, you can tell she’s pretty tall underneath the Stetson.
Of course, this isn’t the first time Beyoncé has tried out a bob, as she’s been a fan of the style for about a decade now.
