STUART PHILLIPS reveals his incredible expert hair advice on the amazing Lady Gaga.
This is probably the only celebrity in the world who changes her hair about twice a day, seven days a week – and is not on a film set.
I will say this, you will either love or hate Lady Gaga's fashion. I'm going to be difficult and say I'm somewhere in the middle, this is because even when her styles are weirdly outrageous and would look terrible on 99% of the population, somehow she manages to hit the 1%. But, not all the time!
I thought I would start with a favourite of mine. If you look at the photo above taken in March 2014 at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, this hairstyle is actually quite beautiful. It also compliments her face shape. Great job considering hair wefts or a wig has been used?
What face shape does Lady Gaga actually have underneath her theatrics? Oval

Does it suit her face shape, though? This is just after her performance where she's taken off her wig. For this reason it's probably unfair to criticise, but I'm going to anyway.
To your surprise, I will say it suits. I could imagine if she had time to blow-dry or at least place some products in her hair, it would be a short wavy, messy bob which would suit her shape face. Although as she has quite a low hairline at the front I would prefer to see some hair brought forward onto her forehead.
She does suit that chocolate brown hair, I also like her blonde as it suits her skin tone as much as the brown, although for me the blonde would need to be coupled with a style that's either trendy or beautiful, not keen on her pantomime blonde wigs.

Let's take a look through time at some of her past hairstyles on stage and off!

The second wig, as you can see from the photo above, does not work as well as the first. This is because of two reasons. Firstly you can see that the sides of the hair have been cut with too much graduation which is making the sides angle in towards her jaw. This is not a good thing because it makes her jaw-line appear even more pointy than ever. Secondly the bob wig has been cut with an A-line shape, this means the back is shorter going longer towards the front. Whenever you use a diagonal line (shorter at the back and longer at the front) it gives the hair a weaker line and will make the jaw appear more pointy.
If you have naturally thick hair with a square jaw-line or even a round lower face shape then an A-line bob would work brilliantly. PLEASE REMEMBER: if your hair is fine an A-line bob with the longer piece of hair at the front will make your hair appear more fine than ever.

Seven months later in 2010 at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards Lady Gaga's wig collection just got a whole lot better. The soft sexy style, the gorgeous wave at the front, even down to the tones of yellow looks great miss Gaga! I also love her make-up, very pretty!
