hair transformations 2018

Bold bobs, platinum dye jobs and bangs—there's nothing like a radical hair switch-up when it comes to the art of the celebrity transformation. Perhaps more than any other year, 2018 saw countless shocking changes, as risky chops and megawatt color gambles peppered collective Instagram feeds at the speed of light.

Sending seismic rumbles around the internet was Kylie Jenner and her new silver toned lengths, while Hailey Bieber took the rose gold plunge at this year's Met Gala with a blush-tinged bob that lit up the Internet.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, Blake Lively and Beyoncé crossed over to Team Brunette, deepening their sunny blonde hues to a more honeyed shade of brown. Crimson and auburn, too, had a moment, as Anne Hathaway and Zendaya experimented with cool reddish hues—mark our words: the fiery hair color is bound to be one of 2019's top trends.

Chin-grazing cuts reigned over the year's biggest beauty headlines, as Jennifer Lopez, Saoirse Ronan and Kim Kardashian West picked up the shears in favor of blunt, graphic crops. But perhaps the most talked-about transformation was Justin Bieber's matrimonial buzz cut, which ushered in a dramatically different look to mark his newlywed status—as the old adage goes, after all: change your hair, change your life.

Here, the best beauty switch ups of 2018 that make the case for a new year transformation. https://assets.vogue.com/photos/5b4f48d9b8ba5b21ff4c57a2/master/w_660,h_165,c_limit/Banner-Beauty.jpg
