Everyone knows that sometimes, you just need a major beauty change, and if you ask us, there’s no better way to embrace a new era than by changing up your hairstyle. Whether it’s a total color switch, a pixie cut you never thought you’d try before now, or just a quick trim, especially applying hair extensions, hair transformations always have a way of feeling like a total makeover. For proof, look no further than some of your favorite stars, like Kendall Jenner, Ciara, and Cardi B, who haven’t wasted any time in 2018 hitting up the salon chair. Ahead, check out some of the greatest celeb hair transformations of the year so far in this blog post, and prepare to be inspired to make your next big appointment.
Iskra Lawrence
The model and activist is the latest celebrity to try rose gold hair on for size. Lawrence debuted her band-new shade at the Cannes Film Festival, offering the deets on the color on her Instagram page. Hairstylist Cinta Miller dyed Lawrence’s hair using L’Oreal Paris Preference Infinia in
Rose Gold Shade 8.23, which just happens to be a super affordable drugstore dye option.
Ashley Tisdale
Hairstylist Anh Co Tran provided the actress with a fresh new cut. Gone is Tisdale’s collarbone-skimming length, in favor of one of the trendiest hairstyles out there — t he lob. Tran described the look as a “soft undercut,” and we think it suits her beautifully.
Cardi B
Now here is one major hair makeover we didn’t see coming. Cardi B ditched her signature black strands, swapping them for a bright sunny blonde color, which she took to Instagram over the President’s Day weekend to show off. This marks the “Bodak Yellow” rapper’s first time as a blonde, unless you count the time she wore a blunt blonde wig to the BET Awards last year. Cardi has colorist Tokyo Stylez to thank for her new hue, who also took to social media to introduce her new look. “Blonde bombshell,” he captioned it.
Shay Mitchell
Shay Mitchell’s hair, while she typically keeps it a long length, is always slightly changing. She loves to play with texture and with different styles, and she even sometimes changes up the color (even if for only a little while). However, this new pink color is the most drastic change we’ve seen from the former star yet, and it looks great on her.
Allison Williams
Allison Williams took to her Instagram page to show off her new look. The actress, after having gone blonde earlier this year, is back to rocking her chocolate brown strands. “Back to my roots. Blonde was fun, but I’ve got to say that I’m happy to be back,” she captioned the image on December 19.
Lily Collins
Hold the phone, folks, Lily Collins just went blonde for winter, further proving that seasonal hair trends are for the birds. The actress took to Instagram on November 30 to show off her new look, captioning the photo, “Not sure if it’s the blonde or this city, but I really am having more fun…” Either way, I’m obsessed.
