In probably the most shocking and pleasing moment of my year in celebrity news so far, Britney Spears got her hair done. By Chris Appleton, who is this generation\u2019s most famous celebrity hairstylist because of his work with Kim Kardashian, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Lopez, among others. <\/p>\n

Chris posted a photo with Britney in pin-straight hair parted in the middle part and a heartfelt message about his life-long love for her and how this was a dream come true for him.<\/p>\n

Well sh-t, the man has done what all of us have been praying for because our girl looks f-cking phenomenal \u2013 like a version of her haven\u2019t seen in years. For better or for worse, Britney\u2019s hair has always been a Conversation, and I\u2019m talking through every era of her career whether it be the hair extensions falling out<\/a> on stage<\/a> or her more recent messy hair look with a fedora. My southern queen has always loved herself a hair extension and frankly I love them for her too. But even I have to admit that it\u2019s BEEN time for her to get a proper hairstyle.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n There\u2019s a long story with the hair though. Understandably she has not wanted to sit in a chair for hours after spending years doing so against her will, something that she touched on in her memoir. When you\u2019ve spent such a formative period in your life having others tell you what to look like, she wants that control and I get it. But that\u2019s why this post was such a surprise and so notable. The fact that Chris was invited to do her hair in the chair is probably the most promising sign I\u2019ve seen in anything related to Britney in years.<\/p>\n Brit has loved a crimped or wavy hair style since 2000, I can\u2019t remember the last time I saw her with pin-straight hair. The new style is giving me major flashbacks to her hair back in her 2008 episode<\/a> of How I Met Your Mother. <\/em>It\u2019s the middle part \u2013 from that scene with Neil Patrick Harris and the matching blue sweaters.<\/p>\n britney spears on how i met your mother pic.twitter.com\/YiB0XpV3eC<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 throwbacks (@solelynostalgia) December 8, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Chris has previous shared on social media his desire to work with Britney, he even replied to a fan\u2019s comment asking him to style her hair saying that he \u201cwould love\u201d to do it but would want to do a \u201cwhole revamp\u201d with some \u201cbig, major comeback hair\u201d. Last summer, he also responded to a fan\u2019s TikTok with a message that fans should \u201ccampaign\u201d for their collaboration to happen and to help \u201cbring Britney back\u201d. Admittedly there was a point where I found him a little thirsty, especially doing the video in a Balenciaga x Britney collab T-shirt. But there\u2019s also a part of me that understands his want to help her, especially as a fan.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Britney herself hasn\u2019t posted anything about the new hair yet. Instead, she posted and deleted an old video clip of her dancing in a fedora and bathing suit from earlier this year with the old hairstyle intact. Will she post her new hair? Will she even keep her new hair?<\/p>\n As a hardcore Britney fan, and I\u2019m not the only one, even I can\u2019t deny that she is arrested in time. And I know exactly why, sympathetically. We want her to evolve her look \u2013 but only when she wants to, when she\u2019s ready, on her terms. Because that would signify, perhaps, something about her life, and her image, that she\u2019s comfortable with, and how, maybe, she wants to present herself.<\/p>\n
