Dakota Johnson's 25 Best Hair Looks Have Us All Hailing the Queen of Fringe

Long may she reign.

Dakota Johnson is practically synonymous with no-fuss glamour—especially when it comes to her strands. Indeed, she has an undeniable hair signature: Always brushed and healthy-looking, framed by an enviable fringe. And one of the best things about her various red-carpet hairstyles? They really can be recreated by any of us. Don't get us wrong, that "effortless" look does, in fact, take a little effort. But as the "Fifty Shades of Gray" actress proves time and time again, a little effort can go a very long way.

Ahead, we've rounded up 25 of Dakota Johnson's best hair moments, along with a few stylist tips to consider when replicating your faves.

Highlighted Lob

This highlighted long bob has that perfectly imperfect tousle, and we love the shoulder-grazing length. To replicate a similar texture:

• Use a curling wand with different barrel sizes, like the T3 Switch Kit Wave Trio ($300). We're not looking for a drastic difference in size here; a 1-inch and 1.25-inch would be a nice contrast if you have a similar natural texture to Dakota's.

• Pick up random sections of hair, and don't be too perfect about it. You don't need to curl the entire head.

• Rake through it all with your fingers.

• Lightly mist a bit of salt spray as your finishing product.

Choppy Fringe

We know Dakota loves a good fringe, but what makes this choppy bang one of her best looks is how she's letting her haircut do all the work.

Blunt Wand Waves

The best thing about wand waves is that curling wands are very approachable tools. Wrapping your sections in the same direction around the entire head will create a uniform wave pattern.

Long Lengths

If you favor longer lengths, like our muse, having a healthy hair routine is crucial for keeping your styles fresh. Using a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, like the Awapuhi Wild Ginger Hydrasoft line from Paul Mitchell, will keep your tresses velvety soft, shiny, and smooth.

Blonde Bob

Ok, this may only be a wig, but we love Dakota as a blonde. The actress debuted this look on Instagram as a sneak peek at an upcoming film. While the length and color are far from her typical go-to hair looks, we appreciate that she kept her signature fringe.

Swooping Side Bang

The swoop on this side bang gives it that little extra something. A little lift at the root will make all the difference when you want to jazz up your side bangs for a night out.

• Use a volumizing or root-lifting spray at the base of your side bangs.

• Rough dry using your fingers to lift the hair off the scalp.

• Go in with a round brush and blow dryer to manipulate the shape and movement of the bangs away from the face using the active heat.

• Hold in place with no-crease clips, and softly use the cool-shot setting on your dryer to help lock your bangs into place.

Modern Beauty

The key to modernizing a classic look is that high-low mix, and while we've heard it many times with wardrobe choices, the same rule applies to beauty. A simple mid-height ponytail with bangs adds a touch of free-spirited sophistication to an Old Hollywood-inspired ensemble.

Muted Regality

Pulling back her hair and fringe may be rare for Dakota, but we love to see it. This appropriately muted hairstyle—all pulled back and off the neck—highlights her regal dress.

Rich Brunette

This rich color and texture play perfectly with a fringed, disco-inspired dress. A finishing spray like Oribe's Apres Beach Wave and Shine ($44) will give your hair that playful, piece-y quality, like Johnson's.

Straight and Simple

This hair just about sums up Johnson's whole vibe. For a similar effect, trade your curling barrels for a Mason Pearson brush and a blow dryer. The straight and smooth look is a simple approach that screams healthy, happy hair, especially when you have color-imparted dimension.

One Shade Darker

Her color choices haven't exactly spanned 50 shades, but even though this darker hue is only perhaps one or two shades deeper than her natural dark brown, it has a major impact.

Wispy Mid-Length

The only thing we love more than a wispy bang is a wispy haircut. To give your hair a textured, unfinished finish at all times—styled or not—ask your stylist to do a razor cut. (Note that this works better for medium-thick coarse hair densities than finer strands.)

Side-Split Bangs

The collar of Johnson's dress is giving Audrey Hepburn, so it's no surprise that her side-split bangs evoke the late starlet as well. Modernized by a feminine, tousled high ponytail, we'll add this to the collection of celeb-worn Audreycore hairstyles we can't get enough of.

Soft and Wavy

These long, undone waves paired with fluffy fringe are giving 1970s vibes, and we're kind of in love. To achieve a brushed-out wave, you'll need a little patience and plenty of hairspray.

The Half-Up

Half-up hairstyles are a must in any low-fuss hair arsenal. When you want to keep hair off the face and shoulders and still do something fun, replicate a look like this. Your half-up style could be a bun, a braid, a ponytail, or any number of styles to match your mood and add some personality to the back of your 'do.

Tousled Top Knot

A tousled topknot has the power to elongate the neck, especially when worn with an off-the-shoulder dress like Johnson's. When paired with anything that lends itself to "pretty," style with a good texture spray and your hands.

Mirrored Deep-V

The hair may not seem statement-making, but the mirroring of the deep split in Johnson's curtain bangs to that of her dress's neckline is so chic. Allowing your hair to play off your wardrobe or makeup is part of the fun.

The Chops

To get a choppy fringe like Johnson's, razors and texturizing shears will be your best friends. Edgy ends like this can take a lot of the styling out of your hair routine by making a statement all their own.

Business Casual

Johnson may look all business in the front, but her hair is a low-key party in the back. To get a similar look:

• Bring your hair up into a high ponytail at the crown of your head, leaving any face-framing layers out as desired.

• Create a three-strand braid in your ponytail and secure it with an elastic.

• Wrap your braid around the base and secure it with hair or bobby pins.

The Classic Blowout

A good blowout is always the move, as Johnson has shown us time and time again. If working with a round brush feels like too much of a hassle, consider opting for a hot brush instead.

Shaded Braid

At the premiere of "Fifty Shades Darker," Johnson wore a classic French braid, with her long locks (fittingly) dyed a shade darker than her usual brunette base.

Heavy Highlights

A strong cut and color can go a long way, as we see here with Johnson's heavily highlighted bob. To get the look, keep your favorite flat iron on hand to get those ends super straight for a blunt finish.

Beach Waves

As far as we're concerned, beach waves will never go out of style. Using a good beach wave spray and a diffuser can take all of five minutes, depending on your hair's cut and density. No matter the time it takes, however, the results will be totally worth it (as Johnson demonstrates).

Soft Curls

Soft curls are a no-fuss skill to keep up your sleeve, particularly with longer tresses like Johnson's. Long hair can take forever, but when you go for a thicker barrel size (like a 2-inch curling iron), you can work on larger sections of hair at a time.

Retro Ponytail

Retro hairstyles don't have to mean excessive volume or shape. Sometimes, flipping out your ends with a curling iron is all it takes.
