Perrie Edwards shows off new look after trying out 'curly hair hack'

It didn't quite go to plan! 🙈

Author: Alex RossPublished 28th Apr 2020

Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards is known for changing up her look regularly, that is what being a pop star is all about at the end of the day, but we've never quite seen her with hair this curly.

After attempting (and failing) the 'curl your hair with a sock' challenge on TikTok, Perrie and her cousin Ellie Hemmings, who is self-isolating with Pez and her boyfriend Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, tried again and this time the results were amazing!

'Break Up Song' singer Perrie took to her Instagram Story to show Alex's unimpressed reaction to her 'overly curly hair', before admitting she couldn't 'tame' the curls the new hack had left her with.

However, after a bit of pampering by Ellie and finding the perfect headband, Perrie seemed to embrace her new look, uploading a cute snap alongside her new puppy Travis. She wrote, 'Everyone. Meet Travis!'.

Perrie's celebrity friends and fans were quick to comment, fellow Little Mix star Jesy Nelson wrote, 'Cuties 🥰', with a fan writing, 'Curly haired Perrie is backk🥺😍'. (Sic)

Another added, 'Woman crush every day 😍🤤', with a third writing, 'NATURAL BEAUTY 😍😍'. (sic)
