Hair transformations are undoubtedly the easiest and quickest way to change up your look. Even celebrities have resorted to dramatic new ‘dos to switch things up, be it in the form of a new hair colour, a trim or a dramatic new haircut.
Now that we’re bang in the middle of summer, shorter, manageable hair sounds like a dream to many. Looking for inspiration? I’ve got you covered!
Celebrities Who Featured Dramatic New Haircuts
Kirti Kulhari
The Four More Shots Only actress took to her Instagram to show off her hair that’s now shorter than ever! In her caption, Kirti spoke about being part of an industry where “being a #heroine comes with its own set of restrictions and limitations. Long hair or at least shoulder-length hair is an unsaid mandate.” But after 15 years of being part of the industry, she felt empowered to finally trade her long hair for a semi-buzzcut, not for a role but for herself! I can only imagine how light she must feel now – literally and emotionally.
Kriti Sanon
The Adipurush actress also chopped off her silky hair and took to Instagram to share her transformation with her fans. “Sometimes all you need is a CHANGE” she captioned the picture of her shoulder-length poker-straight brunette locks.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu
Sometime after her split with her husband Naga Chaitanya, Sam swapped her long glossy hair for an ultra-short, shoulder-length messy bob with layers that gave her hair abundant volume. The shorter hairdo looks so much more fun, doesn’t it?
Erica Fernandes
The popular television star left fans flabbergasted when she posted a picture of her short, freshly cut chin-length hair. The former Kasautii Zindagii Kay actress was known for her voluminous long wavy hair that was always styled to perfection. I can’t say I don’t like the short hair on her though, she’s been pulling it off so well!
Jennifer Winget
Seems like Kriti and Erica weren’t the only two television stars to transform their hair completely. Beyhadh actress, Jennifer Winget too underwent a massive hair transformation. Though her’s was slow and steady. She chopped off her healthy long hair into a bob and even experimented with colours like blonde and burgundy!
Deepika Padukone
The reigning queen of Bollywood really set the base for short hair when she let go of her long, glossy mane and welcomed a short, chin-length cut instead. The actress switched her hair up just before the release of her film Chhapaak and even wore her hair short for her next few films – Gehraiyaan and 83, merging her real and reel personas. While she is growing out her hair again, I believe she pulled off short hair with so much confidence and really made it her own!
Zendaya
The Euphoria actress’s red-carpet appearances are always note-worthy. Zendaya got rid of her ultra-long hair that went on till her lower back and opted for a shorter ‘do at the end of 2022. New year, new her!
Jennifer Lopez
JLo always knows how to make us stop and stare. And stare I did when she made a red carpet appearance sans her ultra-long beachy waves that she swapped for a classic short face-framing bob. The sleek hairdo gave her a more sophisticated vibe but I can’t say her long hair wasn’t missed!
Selena Gomez
As a beauty mogul, changing and experimenting with her looks comes easily to the Only Murders In The Building actress. She didn’t hesitate from snipping a couple of inches off her voluminous waves. And when it came to her cropped, chin-length layers, she styled it in any way she felt like. Poker-straight, wavy, to unkept – the world was her oyster when it came to hairstyling!
Taking a look at how well these stars pulled off their short hair is making me wonder if I can pull it off too. The perfect summer makeover, isn’t it?
