What is Bombshell Angel Hair?
If you’ve ever seen a Victoria’s Secret runway show, you’ll know what bombshell angel hair is. It’s the signature hairstyle that the lingerie brand used for its iconic supermodels, gracing ad campaigns and billboards across the globe. While it’s called ‘bombshell angel hair’, the style was also the go-to for supermodels at the height of the ‘supers’ in the 90s.
The hairstyle is characterized by its boob-length layers that are designed to add volume and the right amount of body to your hair. These bombshell layers create the bounce and movement that is synonymous with famous supermodels, Adriana Lima, like Cindy Crawford, Heidi Klum, and Gisele Bundchen. But this look didn’t start with supermodels.
Long before the Annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, the bombshell layers were rocking out TV screens thanks to Pamela Anderson on Baywatch, reimagining the classic pageant queen look. Fast forward to today and the bombshell hair look is one every celebrity has tried at least once.
While the hairstyle takes its name from the ‘Bombshell’ nickname given to the Victoria’s Secret supermodels, it has a larger-than-life presence. It encapsulates the classic glamorous and bold confidence of a supermodel with feminine layers. It’s no surprise that the popularity of Y2K hairstyles has led to the revival of the bombshell layers and the overall supermodel look.
If you ever dreamed of being a Victoria’s Secret Angel, now you can by recreating their iconic hairstyle as your new signature look.
