celebrity hair transformations, haircut inspiration ideas
Credit: @arielwinter/@selenagomez/@kaiagerber, Instagram

Celebs, they’re just like us. When they get bored with their hair, they change it up—often opting for chic, short bobs over long locks, cool, unique colors over their natural hues, extensions when they want more length, and bold bangs when they want a new, face-framing look. These celebrities keep us on our toes with their ever-changing styles, so we’re constantly adding their hair transformations to our saved folders on Instagram to use as inspiration for that next trip to the salon.

Ahead, check out some of our favorite celebrity hair transformations from this year, featuring both DIY cuts and colors done during quarantine and on-trend chops from before the coronavirus pandemic. With salons across the country opening up, take note of your favorite colors and styles now so you can copy them later.

Bebe Rexha’s Edgy Money Piece Hairstyle

Bebe Rexha made a bold statement by dying her hair contrasting black and red hues in late November. The "money pieces" refer to the face-framing chunks of dye that highlight the front of her face. It's decidedly '90s-punk-meets-modern, and Rexha pulls it off like a total champ.Ā

Ashley Benson's Ombre Orange

Ashley Benson keeps us on our toes with her versatile hair color choices, and in October 2020, she switched it up once again with vibrant, orange-colored ends. The color, which, may or may not have been inspired by pumpkin spice, keeps her roots natural for a subtle ombré effect.

Camilla Cabello’s Naturally Curly Bob

Camilla Cabello debuted a brand new hairstyle on her Instagram in late October, with her natural curls out and proud. According to the post, the singer lost her "short hair virginity" by making the chop and confirms that she is enjoying the feeling of the breeze on her shoulders. We have to say, we love the new 'do.

Halsey’s Badass Buzz Cut

We love how adventurous Halsey is with her hair, whether she’s rocking curly braids, rainbow roots, or a fun, hot pink wig, she slays every time. Her latest look is a cool buzz cut that she got “just in time 4 beanie weather,” according to her Instagram caption.Ā

Madonna’s Hot Pink Hair

Madonna got in on the fun pandemic hair kick by dying her famous blonde locks a perfect shade of pink in October 2020. The pastel hue complements a chic wavy bob and makes Madonna’s bright blue eyes pop.

J-Lo’s On-Trend Curtain Bangs

Our girl Jennifer Lopez is nothing if not a hair chameleon thanks to her longtime stylist Chris Appleton, and her latest look featuring trendy new curtain bangs is no exception. The shaggy, eyelash-grazing style makes for a low-maintenance way to get on the bangs bandwagon—as she can wear them styled to the front or pushed to each side, as the name implies.

Lucy Hale’s Easygoing Reddish Bob

Lucy Hale went twinning with Sarah Hyland when she dyed her dark brown hair a festive shade of red in September 2020. Created by her stylist, Kristen Ess, Hale was able to undergo the transformation in the comfort of her own home (after testing negative for COVID-19, of course) and the dye job was completed at her kitchen sink. #relatable.

Carly Rae Jepson’s Bubble Gum Pink Bob

Carly Rae Jepson totally gave us Frenchie from Grease vibes when she ditched her platinum blonde bob for a fresh bubblegum pink dye job. On September 9th, 2020, the "Call Me Maybe" singer posted four pictures showing off herĀ pastel pink hair, and we want to copy her shade ASAP.Ā Ā

Troian Bellisario’s Blood Orange Color

Troian Bellisario traded her signature brunette color for a fun fall experiment. According to her Instagram post in September 2020, the blood orange hue may have been a bit of an accident, but the Pretty Little Liars star ended up loving it “way more” than her original rose gold vision. We have to agree that this citrus-inspired color rocks.

Kaia Gerber's Pops of Pink

As one of the many celebrities who's played with her hair color during quarantine, Gerber gave herself this DIY pink 'do in August. Under the virtual supervision of celebrity hairstylist Guido Palau, she created an almost ombré-effect with hot pink tips. The color, along with her blunt bob, lends itself to a decidedly “punk” aesthetic, which she references in her Instagram caption.

Haddish decided to show off her natural beauty by shaving her head for summer in July 2020. “The best part is when water hits my head it feels like kisses from God,” she wrote in her Instagram caption as she revealed the new look.

Emily Ratajkowski’s Bright Blonde

Ratajkowski stunned us when she strayed from her signature medium-length, layered brunette hair by going full blonde in June 2020. The honey-bleached hue features a shadow root that creates a more natural transition from dark to light.

Miley Cyrus’s Punk Pixie Mullet

Miley Cyrus’s mom, Tish, gave the pop star what just may be the coolest, edgiest quarantine haircuts we’ve seen to date. With the virtual help of celebrity stylist Sally Hershberger, Tish chopped Miley's mid-length bleached blonde locks into an ultra punk “pixie mullet.” As HershbergerĀ  cheekily captioned her Instagram, “I trained Tish well ;).”

Hilary Duff’s Bright Blue Bob

If 2020 is the year for quarantine hair risks, Hilary Duff’s shockingly turquoise bob takes the cake for one of the coolest, most out-of-the-box looks. She’s since transitioned back to her signature blonde, but this is a fun look to keep in mind when you want to shake things up.

Selena Gomez’s Trendy Curtain Bangs

Curtain bangs have definitely been making a comeback, and Selena Gomez certainly channeled those retro, 1970s vibes with her hair back in January. Curtain bangs are particularly flattering because they are parted down the middle and frame your face on each side. They're usually long and have wispy ends, giving them a laidback, cool-girl vibe—perfect for Gomez.
