IT has been referred to as the ‘Karen’ haircut by some, but Molly Mae has been sporting her signature bob for quite some time now – and we adore it.
Recently, the blonde beauty disclosed the real reason for her dramatic haircut, and it’s more relatable than you might expect.

The former Love Island contestant was once celebrated for her long, flowing hair, even launching her own line of extensions so fans could achieve the same look.
However, the years of bleaching took a toll on her, as Molly admitted on social media.
“My hair has become so much healthier,” Molly shared in the social media clip.
After a quick color refresh and trim, she showcased her revitalized locks.
“A couple of months ago, I was genuinely worried about the condition of my hair because I had been bleaching it so frequently,” she explained.
“I feel like during the summer, I was white blonde, and I loved it, but my hair really suffered.”
Since opting for a shorter cut and a more natural blonde, Molly revealed how her hair has “come back to life.”
While the bob itself isn’t groundbreaking, it’s the “flicked” style at the ends that makes it trendsetting.
“I’ve been styling it flicked out, so it bends outward,” Molly told her sister Zoe in a video on her platforms.
“That gives me a cooler vibe.
“When I flick it under, I feel a bit like an old maiden.”
Molly-Mae first unveiled her new look as she walked in the L’Oréal Paris Le Défilé show in September, encouraged by her longtime stylist Jack Luckhurst to embrace a bold hairstyle.
At that time, he referred to it as a “satin bob” and told Cosmopolitan : “We cut this bob to create a wow factor and to make daily styling easier.
“This is simple for Molly to manage at home but also provides a fresh image for both of us when creating new looks.”
When Molly chooses her signature updo, she relies on a “great little product” to keep flyaways and baby hairs in check, which she swears by.
The Smooth Company’s flagship Smooth Stick is designed to tame hair – and that’s exactly what she uses it for.
The mother-of-one revealed that she discovered the product when a hairdresser gifted it to her.
Now, it has become a staple in her beauty arsenal for maintaining her sleek hairstyles.
“It’s like a baby hair wand,” she said while demonstrating the product.
“Sometimes I even use my eyebrow gel for flyaways.
“Technically, this is the same concept – you could use it on your brows too.”
Molly-Mae's Glow-Down from ‘Glamour Model’ to ‘Yummy Mummy’
PR Expert Ed Hopkins told Fabulous: “I believe that Molly-Mae’s new look is more than a mere style change; it is a powerful statement of her evolving identity.
“It highlights her journey toward authenticity, maturity, and sophistication, likely enhancing her success and influence in the years ahead.”
Brand and Culture Expert Nick Ede concurred, stating, “Molly-Mae has transformed into a yummy mummy who has moved away from the glamour model aesthetic for a more relaxed and natural appearance.
“She’s becoming more down to earth and relatable, cleverly showcasing a softer side that will likely attract more fans.”
According to Ed Hopkins, Molly-Mae’s elegant new image could be “highly lucrative” for her.
Ed told Fabulous: “Molly-Mae Hague’s shift towards a more natural, chic style seems to reflect her personal growth and evolving taste.
“This transformation, which has become more evident since she became a mother, appears to signify her journey toward embracing authenticity and sophistication
