10 dramatic celebrity hair transformations to inspire your first post-iso haircut

10 dramatic celebrity hair transformations to inspire your first post-iso haircut

With far fewer places to go and people to see, one of the main isolation beauty trends we've seen has been the dramatic hair transformation. Especially the celeb kind. From Emily Ratajkowski trading brunette for blonde to Hilary Duff's blue moment, there's been no shortage of new do's being debuted on social media. If you're lucky enough to be in a state that's slowly coming out of lockdown and isolation, a haircut is probably somewhere on your list of things to do.

\With that in mind, we've rounded up some of our favourite celebrity hair transformations to inspire your trip to the salon. PSA, we reckon most of these are best left for the professionals to provide.

Ariel Winter

After a very long stint on Modern Family, Ariel Winter is finally able to break free from her character's black hair. After dabbling in strawberry blonde, she went for this icy, white blonde shade and pretty much looks like her own alter-ego.

Amandla Stenberg

Stopped by @nylonjapan with my wonderful friends at @xgirljp !! Thank you @anastashia1108 for being an angel and showing me around Japan 💐😻

A quick scroll through actress Amandla Stenberg's IG feed reveals she is no stranger to the dramatic hair transformation. She's dabbled with buzzcuts, braids, blowouts and a number of different dye jobs. We're particularly big fans of the blue braids and how she followed it up with some short natural hair. Truly a girl who can do both.

Baller presenting partner @shameikmoore, baller winner @ncentineo ❤️ || thank you @kcas for the noms and a great show xx

Our fav To All The Boys honey Lana Condor is known for Lara Jean's signature long hair in the uber-popular Netflix film franchise. IRL, Lana went for a big chop and it actually has us itching to grab the scissors.

I'm just thinking about how long it probably took to crochet this top 🧵

Demi Lovato

I'm here in Miami! Ready for the Super Bowl!! Let's do this!! 🏈🏈🏈

After beginning the year playing around with long hair, Demi Lovato is another celeb who's making us long for a shorter length. We're really into this shoulder-grazing length.

@jillpowellglam - thank you for being so safe and taking the precautionary steps to protect each other when doing my glam.. Happy to see you and be your canvas again 🖤🖤🖤 LOVE YOU 😘

Ashley Benson

On the opposite end of the hair transformation spectrum, there are celebs like Ashley Benson. After a stint with a bright pink bob, the actress started experimenting with longer hair and a much more natural brunette shade. If you've grown out your hair in quarantine and are feeling more ~grown up~, maybe look to her sleek lengths for inspiration?

Such an incredible show. Thanks for having me ♥️ @longchamp #longchampFW20

A girl, a view, and a questionable wardrobe malfunction: A Series 📸: @wellsadams

While our fav Sarah Hyland is probably her with her incred natural hair texture, she did make the impressive case for wine-coloured hair back in May. If red hair isn't your bag, definitely take note of the volume and fun layers she's got going on.

☝🏼

After wearing her hair in a soft-brunette shade for a good long while, ex Gossip Girl actress Leighton Meester's dramatic hair transformation was a chop and going blonde. While the look didn't last too long it was extremely cute.

⚡️ 🍭 2MORROW ‼️ #willowthealbumtour

Multi-threat artist, musician and actress Willow Smith went about as hard you can go with her haircut, debuting a sleek shaved head back in March. BRB feeling around our skull to see if we could pull this off.

The stunning 24-year-old actress and singer Justine Skye (who, yes, initially became famous via Tumblr) just showed off her short, naturally curly hair in a cinematic slow-mo video.

SUCH. a fun day on set with @mtvnews !!! STAY TUNED FOR MORE to COME !!!! -------------------- styled: @mrchriscampbell wearing: @heronpreston walking in: @topshop hotel? trivago.

No stranger to the dramatic hair transformation is Lachlan Watson. The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (RIP sweet cancelled show) actor has bid farewell to their short brown hair and looks like a completely different person with blonde hair and bleached eyebrows. A huge serve, we absolutely love to see it.
