Selena Gomez's Hair Evolution, From Long Layers To Her New Bangs
Her best looks from her younger years to today.
From bleach-blonde locks to derrière-length, beachy waves, Selena Gomez is no stranger to experimenting with her look ... and in my completely biased, Rare Beauty-loving, Selena-obsessed opinion — there is truly nothing the Latina mogul can’t pull off.
Since first breaking onto the scene at a young age by way of Disney’s nostalgia-inducing show, Barney & Friends, the Texas-born star has since all but dominated. With hit records (in both English and Spanish languages), cult-fave television shows and films, her most recent mental health platform launch, and of course, her award-winning beauty range Rare Beauty, she could truly retire today and still be considered one of the most successful to ever do it.
Through her many years in the spotlight, the multi-hyphenate has often opted for her natural look — espresso-brunette strands at any and every length. And though she’s recently revealed that she hasn’t been on social media for over four years (seriously), she’s still managed to break the internet quite a few times with a fresh new ‘do.
Below, Bustle gathered Selena Gomez’s best hair looks. You’re welcome.
The Classic Sel
For much of Gomez’s career, her brunette strands seldom strayed from this 2014-era, subtly highlighted brunette cut and color. Super long and filled with enviable volume and texture, this look will forever be a tried-and-true classic for Wizards of Waverly Place fans.
The Mid-Length, Ultra-Angular Cut
Seen rocking a rare side-part (where are all my middle-part stans?), Gomez shared this iconic, intensely-angled chop back in 2015.
The Bleach-Blonde Dream Girl
While much of the world was in complete lockdown due to the *virus who must not be named* — Sel went for an entirely new look with bleached blonde locks, choosing to keep her low-maintenance dark roots peeking through. While the uniquely light look lasted through much of 2021, she soon dyed her hair back to her most-loved brunette shade.
The Shoulder-Skimming Bob & Whimsical Bangs
At the start of April 2022, Gomez casually dropped a stunning picture debuting her new sensually tousled chop with the oh so cheeky caption: “New hair who dis?” And while I typically find that I’m lusting over some freshly-cut bangs or a dramatic shoulder-skimming bob when I’m going through some sort of personal crisis or emotional breakthrough (anyone else?) — I’m seriously convinced that the look will be everyone’s haircut inspiration for the spring and summer seasons, especially as it somehow bridges the gap between being playfully youthful and elegantly mature.
