A new album, a European tour, a busy life always on the road... this was 2020 according to the plans of Dua Lipa, who had to reinvent her programs and revolutionize her lifestyle (just like all of us, actually). However, she came out as a winner: her latest album, Future Nostalgia, released on March 27th in the middle of the global lockdown, climbed the top of the charts and achieved a great success in just a few months. The album is a wave of good vibes, desire to dance and party, and each song recalls a different emotion. What we all need right now, basically.
During the last few months she started meditating and learned the art of tarots, she spent a lot of time with her boyfriend Anwar Hadid, and redefined the return to a normal life with a tour scheduled for early next year. She also entertained the world of the web with constant updates on her looks and hairstyles through her Instagram profile. In addition to music, in fact, Dua Lipa is known and loved by the audience for her pop, iconic and irreverent style, very colorful, which is also reflected in her hairstyles.
Her hairstyles became real hair trends, followed by fans and influencers, who see themselves in the eccentric style of Dua Lipa and want to replicate it. How can we forget the two-tone blonde&black look, and in particular the bi-chromatic knot top she was wearing at the 2020 Grammys? But also the asymmetrical short bob, or the wig with long and "messy" bangs, as well as the semi-permanent red and pink shades revealed in recent months.
We asked experts how to replicate the best hair looks of Dua Lipa. Fabrizio Palmieri, Creative Director of TONI&GUY Italia, provided us with precious advice and tips to replicate at home 3 unforgettable hairstyles - as well as and the right products to use. Ready?
1. Natural Bob... with a trick!
Dua Lipa surprised everyone with her urban-grunge 90s style on the occasion of the YSL party in Madrid. Many thought it was a new haircut, however the look was created only for that night, thanks to the use of a wig. The grown-out soft bangs that falls under the eyebrow is a very cool detail, that highlights the singer's eyes. Maybe it's a little uncomfortable... luckily it's just a wig! Don't worry, you won't need any wig: this look is for everyone, both for those with bangs and for those who want to opt for a simple bob with a "messy hair" effect.
Here is how to get a texture like Dua Lipa, with soft waves and a very natural effect: after shampoo, with the hair still damp, divide the hair with a central line (not too defined) and apply Label.m Volume Mousse, a mousse spray that offers volume, definition and texture to the hair. Then proceed dividing the hair into 6 vertical sections, 3 in the back and 3 in the front of the head, leaving aside the area of the bangs. Twist the strands of hair, making soft turns, and then fix them with bobby pins and dry with a diffuser - at moderate speed - to get a soft effect. The result will be a styling with a very natural finish, just like the one Dua Lipa is showing!

2. Asymmetric Bob
The bob is a haircut that is currently experiencing a revival moment, and that can be easily adapted to different face shapes, depending on the length you choose. For those with a round face, it is better to opt for a bob that ends closer to the collarbone, in order to "lengthen" the face. For those with a heart-shaped face, a super short bob is preferable to enhance the jaw line and cheekbones; and for those with a more square face it is recommended to keep the length under the jaw, softening the look with a clump or long bangs.
To get the glossy finish of Dua Lipa, just follow a few simple steps. First, you need to split the hair into different sections (generally 3-4) before drying, to work them in the best way, and then dry the hair with the help of a hairdryer and a brush. For a glossy finish, use Label.m Gel, a long-lasting gel that offers control against humidity, or Label.m Wax Spray Cera, a medium-hold spray, easy to use, that allows you to fix and maintain the look for a long time.
3. 90s Top Knot
The hairstyle Dua Lipa was wearing on the occasion of the Grammys 2020 takes inspiration from the 90s. It is a top knot, made even cooler by the hair-ends straight and "messy". The look was also emphasized by the hair color-block. To recreate this look just follow the following steps:
Step 1. Start preparing the hair while washing with Label.m Anti-frizz Shampoo, to give a healthy and shiny effect to the hair.
Step 2. With your hair still damp, use Label.m Blow Out Spray, a spray that protects from high temperatures and gives volume. Then dry with a hairdryer and brush, directing the hair upwards.
Step 3. With the help of a comb, create a central line, separating the hair into two sections and leaving two soft frontal hair strands that will soften the facial features.
Step 4. Brush your hair upwards and, with the help of a mirror, position the tail at a high point on the nape, adapting it to the shape of your face. Fix the tail with a custom-made elastic tape, this type of elastic will ensure a better fixing. Take the tail and create a bun, letting the ends of the hair come out in the directions you prefer, fix everything with bobby pins.
Step 5. Last but not least, to fix the look, use the Label.m Hairspray, a quick-drying lacquer that hydrates and fixes the hair too. For small imperfections we recommend the use of an old toothbrush or a makeup brush to define the look without any damage!
