Hey, have you heard there’s a new Beyoncé tour? It’s pretty low-key, so I get it if this is the first you’re hearing about it. Just kidding! The Cowboy Carter tour is like an omnipresent, coast-to-coast, sequinned blanket of good vibes that’s gonna nurturingly envelop you with glamorous, defiant joy whether you’ve got tickets or not. (It’s literally the only thing my niece, Elyssa, has been talking about for months. Months!) And while most fans are excited about the music, the outfits, and the overall experience, you also have to admit that all eyes will adoringly be on Beyoncé’s unbelievable and seemingly infallible hair.
So, how does she do it? Well, first of all, she doesn’t do it herself. She’s got hairstylist Neal Farinah for that, and it’s a job he understandably takes very seriously, so lots of thought went into how the superstar’s hair would look.
“Inspiration comes from so many places, but ultimately, I’m always inspired by big, Texas hair,” Farinah says. “We wanted to call back to the iconic honey blonde and big body blowout Beyoncé is known for, but still nod to the Cowboy Carter blonde we’ve played with all year. It’s so important that the hair has body but also movement. No time for stiff bouffants here!”
