Celebs Who Transformed After Getting Haircuts

Sometimes, all it takes is a haircut to make someone look like a totally different person. While we normal people can chop all our hair off or dye it on a whim, actors and actresses don’t always have the same luxury. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Rosamund once said that actresses weren’t allowed to have dramatic haircuts because short hair wasn’t considered as versatile. Still, in this modern day and age, that’s why we have wigs, and as a result, many celebrities have gone ahead and decided to mix their hairstyle up, because life is too short to not express yourself!

Haircuts are as stressful as they are liberating. While a good haircut can absolutely elevate someone’s beauty, a bad haircut can be a blow to confidence, but at least it’ll grow back relatively soon. While the rest of us are able to experiment with different looks without being in the spotlight, celebs are scrutinized in the headlines. Still, all of these haircuts came out gorgeous, proving that many of these stars can wear any cut that exists. Here are al the celebrities that transformed themselves and even some who became unrecognizable after switching their hairstyle up.

Hilary Duff

Duff went full Lizzy McGuire with this cut with her bangs. For many years, she wore honey-blond, wavy hair with side bangs that framed her face, but in 2019, she tried out a new look with shorter bangs that swept her forehead and brand-new highlights. According to the actress, the cut was inspired by her character, and she’s been wanting to bring those bangs back for ages!

2. Taylor Swift

If you remember Taylor when she first got famous, you’ll remember that cascading blond hair that accompanies her country songs. Today, she’s a confident pop music queen and her hair has changed just as much as her career.  In 214, she cut it all off in lieu of a chin-length bob with bangs, and it was inspired by her bestie Karlie Kloss from the moment they met.

3. Rihanna

When Pon De Replay was gaining traction all around the world, Rihanna had much longer hair. Since then, she’s tried out a variety of different haircuts, but the most dramatic was in 2012 when she cut off those burgundy locks for a very short, super black pixie cut. She looked absolutely flawless and had been craving going short – so would we, if we looked that good!
