It's NBD to see a celebrity haircut or color change all over the Internet anymore. It seems that every time an A-lister makes a salon appointment, within minutes the news is blasted out via Twitter, and "before" and "after" shots are shared on Instagram. Sometimes we have to squint just to determine if it's actually a fresh look or just a basic trim.

So what's a spotlight-loving star to do in this oversaturated space? The press-savvy ones (re: the Kardashian-Jenner group) have been mystifying their fans by taking photos of themselves in wigs, leaving us wondering, "Did she or didn't she make the chop?" But we're onto you, Hollywood! And so we present the best Insta-wig looks of the web. Copy them if you dare . . .

Looks like Miley would make one chic mermaid! Perhaps those Hannah Montana days turned her into a wig-lover, since her Instagram feed is filled with rainbow hair ideas.

Nicole Richie

To promote her House of Harlow line on Shopbop, Nicole ditched her rose-gold mane for this turquoise lob. We would love to petition for it to be a permanent change!

Though the It girl has long locks, she is known to sport this '60s-inspired wig (so Twiggy!) on the red carpet.

Kylie Jenner

Whether she's trying out Cleopatra bangs or bright-colored hair (or both at the same time!), Kylie loves to make headlines for changing up her style . . . often on a daily hourly basis.

Kendall Jenner

Kendall Jenner

The fashion model may seem more low-key than some of her sisters, but she, too, likes to make waves for experimenting with hairstyles. Here, she looked like a sleeping princess in a golden blond wig.

Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj

For her video for "The Night Is Still Young," Nicki proved she's still an original pioneer of rainbow-bright hair.

Beyoncé

Beyoncé's baby bangs were short lived, and we believe them to be one of her many faux hairpieces.

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga

Who actually knows what Lady Gaga's hair really looks like? But we're pretty sure this rock 'n' roll mullet isn't it.
