Lindsay Lohan’s Hair Might Be the Best It’s Ever Looked—No Debate
1. Lindsay’s Hair Has Entered Its Main-Character Era
I don’t know about you, but the second I saw Lindsay Lohan on Instagram this week, I stopped scrolling. Her hair is thick, long, softly wavy, and so shiny it almost feels unreal. It’s the kind of hair that makes you book a trim you didn’t plan for. Healthy, effortless, and very “I woke up like this” — even though we all know that’s rarely true.
At 38, Lindsay is currently filming the sequel to Freaky Friday with Jamie Lee Curtis and Chad Michael Murray. And honestly? She looks calmer, softer, and more confident than ever. There’s something really refreshing about that kind of glow.
2. The Post That Broke the Internet (Softly)
The photos came from a behind-the-scenes shoot with directors and photographers Luca and Alessandro Morelli, also known as The Morelli Brothers. Lindsay looked fresh-faced and relaxed, like she was genuinely enjoying the moment. No heavy styling. No overthinking. Just ease.
She wore a simple marled V-neck tee and barely-there makeup by Ash K Holm. Her freckles were out, her skin looked flawless, and she somehow looked ten years younger. Even Khloé Kardashian dropped a “cutie” in the comments, which honestly feels like the internet’s stamp of approval.
And tell me I’m not alone here — does she not give subtle young Madonna vibes? It’s uncanny in the best way.
3. Red Hair, But Make It Legendary
Lindsay’s red hair has always been iconic. Over the years, she’s gone deeper auburn, lighter strawberry blonde, and everywhere in between. But this version? This one hits different. It feels grown, confident, and very her.
If I had to pick her best hair era, this would be it. No debate.
4. Meet “Churro Waves” (Yes, Really)
Her hairstylist, Dimitris Giannetos, coined the look “churro waves,” and I had questions too. Thankfully, he explained it to Allure so we didn’t have to guess.
He described churro waves as a mix of flat waves and mermaid waves. They’re a little stringy, styled in different directions, and slightly messy. Sweet, imperfect, and textured — just like actual churros.
He also tagged ghd and Nexxus, so it’s safe to assume heat tools and solid prep products were involved. Beautiful hair like that doesn’t just happen by accident.
5. Why Flat Irons Beat Curling Wands Here
Here’s the thing I’ve learned the hard way. Beachy, angel, mermaid, and now churro waves almost always look better with a flat iron. Curling tongs can be too perfect. Too round.
Flat irons let hair bend and fall naturally. They create that slightly undone, slept-in vibe we all want. The kind of wave that looks casual but actually took effort.
Just don’t be fooled — soft, messy hair takes work. It’s controlled chaos.
6. How to Get the Look (With or Without Heat)
If you’re using heat, always start with protection. Seriously. Over time, skipping this step turns glossy hair into fried hair. And none of us want that.
If you hate heat tools, I’ve got you. Try this instead:
- Wash and condition as usual
- Gently towel-dry
- Apply mousse or styling cream
- Twist hair into two low buns at the nape
- Pin and let fully air-dry
Once dry, undo the buns, rake through with your fingers, and finish with a light mist of Nexxus Comb Thru Flexible Hold Hairspray. Lived-in. Soft. Easy.
Right now, I’m loving OGX Locking + Coconut Curls Air Dry Cream. It works, and it smells like a beach holiday — which never hurts.
Because honestly? If this routine is good enough for Lindsay Lohan, it’s good enough for me.
