Nothing makes you feel brand new or gives you a bigger confidence boost than a serious hair change (there’s a reason the salon is the first stop after a break-up!).
There’s something about going from blonde to brunette or chopping it all off that somehow just widens up your whole beauty world.
This effect is something our favourite style stars are well aware of, too. Hollywood loves a hair transformation, and we love the inspo they give us.
So, whether they’re lopping off some length, colouring their ends copper or anything in between, here are the best celeb hair transformations to take note of this season.
Kristen Wiig
Kristen proved blondes don’t always have more fun, debuting a dark raven pixie cut at this year’s Critics’ Choice Awards. Usually a fan of light locks, this updated shade was a surprising but welcome change to her whole look.

Karlie Kloss
The model recently ditched her signature blonde locks in lieu of a toasty brunette colour. Kloss marked the occasion on Instagram, saying, “After a decade of being a blonde, I finally crossed over to the dark side.” Here’s to trying something new!
If you’re considering this look: Going from blonde to brunette can sometimes make locks a little dull, so pop a shine spray on before blowdrying.

Halle Berry
She’s not one to shy away from change and Berry’s hot new X-Men-inspired locks happen to be one of 2022’s biggest hair trends: a buzzed bixie cut. But what exactly is a bixie cut, you ask? According to celebrity hair stylist Daniel Skinner, it’s “shorter than a bob, longer than a pixie, and with the hair off the neck and mid-face”.
If you’re considering this look: the violet pigments impart colour and correct brassiness, while argan oil adds shine.

Eiza Gonzales
The actress shocked onlookers recently when she revealed a head full of freshly bleached blonde hair. The 32-year-old left her brown eyebrows untouched, giving off Malibu Barbie vibes. While this bold, bright look might not be for everyone, trendsetters will love the style statement it makes.
If you’re considering this look: peroxide locks need all the moisture they can get. Olaplex is one of the most trusted haircare brands for restoring dry and damaged locks, so give them some love with the No.7 Bonding Oil.

Kendall Jenner
Hair changes are pretty common for runway regular Jenner, but it seems her latest shade swap (from deep chocolate to gingery auburn) is proving a little more permanent. The model debuted the copper colour at Prada’s F/W 22 catwalk show, with the shade still very much on show at the Oscars in March, too. Jenner has, however, added to the look with some seriously enviable The Little Mermaid-esque extensions.
