Former Love Island star Maura Higgins has embraced the summer season with a bold new look, revealing a sleek bob haircut at the BAFTA Television Awards on May 11.
Appearing at London’s Royal Festival Hall in a pale blue, princess-style gown, Higgins debuted the chic cut—marking a striking change from the long, waist-length locks she’s showcased on social media in recent months. The transformation follows another recent hair update, where she traded her signature brunette strands for a buttery blonde shade, created with soft platinum balayage highlights.
The new bob adds to a growing trend as warmer weather inspires shorter hairstyles across the UK. Celebrity hairstylist Carl Bembridge, who regularly works with Higgins, previously shared on Instagram that he relies on Color Wow products to maintain her bob look.
Higgins herself praised the brand during an appearance on the Sheerluxe podcast, revealing that Color Wow’s Dream Coat spray is her go-to for taming frizz. “I have really, really frizzy hair, and if you saturate your hair with that, it keeps the frizz at bay,” she explained. The product was one of the things she missed most during her time on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here.
With the season of sun, social events, and style updates in full swing, Higgins’ new bob could spark a wave of salon bookings for those ready to make the chop.
