Believe it or not, we are already at the halfway mark for 2021 — and it's been quite a roller-coaster already. There's a saying that when a person changes their hair, they are expecting big changes in life. That may be the case for these celebs, who have all made major hair transformations in the past several months.
From color changes and dramatic cuts, to styles that switch up each week, we are constantly surprised when our favorite celebrities show off their new 'dos. We are also inspired to perhaps try a few of them on our own manes.
Whether you are planning to make some big life changes and want to reflect that in your hair, or you just love to see how your favorite stars evolve their look over time, these wild hair changes are sure to keep you on your toes.
Chrissy Teigen
Chrissy Teigen showed off silver "midlife crisis" hair in March. Though she's only 35 and hardly middle-aged, we loved the surprising shade on her. Not everyone can pull off the silver fox look. Since the silver, she's also gone pink and purple with her hair.
Jonah Hill
Jonah Hill is not afraid of color — bright color. He dyed his hair pink in May and shared the transformation in a photo on his Instagram Stories while playing golf. The comedic actor previously sported pink hair in 2018, so this was not a new look for him. After the hot pink came a bold platinum blond — let's just hope he's got some good conditioner to care for his hair through all those color changes.
Justin Bieber
We recently saw two major changes for Justin Bieber in the hair department. The "Peaches" singer debuted locs in April but one month later, he turned around and shaved his head. Maybe he wanted a lighter style for the summer — or maybe he was looking to quiet the controversy over those cultural appropriation accusations.
Kim Lee
The DJ and star of Bling Empire added some super dramatic color for her 2021 MTV Movie & TV Awards: Unscripted look. Turning her hair deep shades of pink and purple and styling it in waves gave her a sexy siren look that we'd love to try this summer.
Elisabeth Moss
Actresses are known to change their hair for roles, and Elisabeth Moss is the latest celeb to take the plunge. She cut and colored her hair from medium-length blond to a short brunette bob for her role in Apple TV's Shining Girls. The stylist behind the '90s-inspired look, Tommy Buckett, described it on Instagram as a nod to Winona Ryder.
Lana Condor
We've seen quite a few pastel color changes, but none came out as beautiful as Lana Condor's multidimensional pink shade. We hardly recognize the To All the Boys I've Loved Before actress with this wild hair look, which she debuted on Instagram in February 2021.
Maisie Williams
Maisie Williams was almost unrecognizable at the 2021 BRIT Awards. We are used to seeing her with a super cute short brown cut, which appears to be her natural color. But she arrived at the event with a much bolder look of longer blond locks and bleached eyebrows to match.
Britney Spears
Britney Spears is no stranger to changing up her look. We've seen her with every color and every style, it seems. In May 2021, the "Toxic" singer posted a photo of herself on Instagram wearing a leopard print bodysuit and sporting enviable rose gold-colored hair.
Rihanna
We never know what style Rihanna is going to pull off next. Early in 2021, we saw her wearing braids while out and about. A few months later, in May 2021, she was rocking a super short pixie cut that showed off her chiseled cheekbones.
Kelly Osbourne
Hair extensions are the perfect way to add in some color. We can all take a note from Kelly Osbourne next time we want a little more length and a fresh color change. In April 2021, Kelly shared a "New hair!! New Outlook!!" post on Instagram, showing off her longer purple hair styled in soft waves. And we're totally loving this unexpected look on her.
Demi Lovato
The singer, who is known for their daring looks, went with a multi hair change in length, style, and color for a shoot for Glamour magazine in March 2021. They chopped off most of their brunette locks in favor of a shorter pixie 'do in a bold hot pink shade.
Iggy Azalea
In terms of hair transformations, you can't get any more dramatic than going from bright blond to neon green. Iggy Azalea did just that for her trip to Brazil in April 2021. She shared the hair crop and color change on her Instagram — and we're surprised by how well it actually suits her.
Paris Hilton
We always expect the unexpected from Paris Hilton. She apparently was so in love with the wig she wore for a Lanvin commercial that she copied the look on her real hair. When she revealed her new 'do on Instagram in March 2021, she wrote, "I was so inspired by my new @LanvinOfficial campaign that I had my hair cut short. What do you all think about my new look?"
Julianne Hough
Sometimes after wearing your hair short for a while, you just need a change. For Julianne Hough, that meant adding in some major extensions. Going from her usual shoulder-length bob to a butt-length style was something she had talked about for years — and she finally went for it.
Tiffany Haddish
For the last few months, Tiffany Haddish has had a lot of fun with her latest big hair transformation. She buzzed off all her hair in January 2021 — and it appears this dramatic New Year's change is here to stay for a while. Now, in June 2021, her buzz cut is blond, but we've also seen a sneak peek of a blue shade.
Sarah Hyland
Guess we're not the only ones who change our look based on our favorite shows. Sarah Hyland joked that she had been watching too many episodes of Outlander and decided to go for a strawberry blond update to her locks. It definitely makes her green eyes pop.
Hilary Duff
While everyone thought Hilary Duff was using her blue hair color to make a gender reveal announcement for her third child, it turns out she was just ready for something new. Pregnant moms are known to make drastic changes with each baby, and apparently, Hilary was in a blue mood!
Scott Disick
Scott Disick has taken us through a few hair color changes so far — and we are on the edge of our seats waiting for the next one. He started with his natural brown, then went platinum blond, and then dyed his hair bubblegum pink (which seems to be a trend for guys in 2021).
Shakira
While Shakira has worn a rainbow of colorful outfits and costumes over the years, her blond locks remained a staple — until this year. In February 2021, she posted a photo and captioned it "voilà" to show off her new smooth and sleek strawberry red hair.
Taraji P. Henson
Taraji P. Henson, who just released her own hair care line, is having some color fun in 2021. So far, we've seen the actress with purple, deep red, and even fuchsia shades, and she's managed to pull them all off. We can't wait to see what's next.
