As hair salons all over the country reopen, people are flocking back to their hairstylists to receive a long-overdue style update — including celebrities. Many have been anxiously awaiting the day they could get back in the salon chair since March, when social distancing began. As even the states with the strictest stay-at-home orders in place like New York and California move through phased reopening plans, that time has finally come.
With months to gather hair inspiration and prepare, we're seeing celebrities like Emily Ratajkowski, Millie Bobby Brown, and Cardi B all drastically switch up their look for the summer season. From big chops (we're looking at you, Post Malone) to major color changes, our Instagram feeds are slowly being taken over with professional hairstyle transformations for the first time in months. (Although we had no shortage of amateur at-home hairstyle transformations to enjoy during the hiatus.)
We have a feeling that this is just the beginning of the post-social-distancing hairstyles to come, but check out a few of our favorite new celebrity looks, ahead.
Kylie Jenner debuted a short, golden-blond wig on June 24 that was installed by her longtime hairstylist, Tokyostylez. Along with it, she also had on a fresh french moon manicure.
Mille Bobby Brown snapped a picture in the salon chair on June 23. In her caption she asked her fans if they liked the straight or curly style better, but we can't stop looking at that ombré color.
As a natural brunette, Emily Ratajkowski has never been blond before, but apparently post-social-distancing felt like a good time to go for it. She showed off her completely new look, courtesy of Kérastase, on Instagram on June 23.
Cardi B wasted no time when the stay-at-home orders expired — she immediately ran out to get her tattoo touched up and got four new piercings in one sitting. She also paid a visit to Tokyostylez for this glamour, extralong red wig.
Post Malone shocked everyone when he shared a close-up picture of his shaved head on Instagram on June 21. He traded his signature dark curls for a new skull tattoo on the side of his head.
We barely recognized Julianne Hough with her natural brown hair — she's been blond for as long as we can remember. She showed off the new color on June 10 in a video on her Instagram page.
Kaia Gerber traded her brunette hair for a fresh platinum blond color for the summer. She first debuted the look on June 19.
Just days after Kylie Jenner snapped a photo for Instagram in a bright blond wig, she swapped it out for pink hair on June 28.
While everyone is going blond, Khloe Kardashian opted for a long, brunette hairstyle for her birthday.
On June 28, Marsai Martin showed off her new, on-trend hair color for summer, complete with shadow roots.
Dwyane Wade switched up his fiery red hair color for red and yellow flames on the back of his head. He documented the hairstyle change by Los Angeles-based hair colorist Jared Esguerra on Instagram.
Ariel Winter showed off her new platinum blond hair color on Instagram and we can't tell if she looks more like Daenerys Targaryen or a young Marilyn Monroe.
Kim Kardashian is known for changing up her hairstyle and color often but it's usually a wig. But not this time. Post lockdown, she decided to try out being a redhead, courtesy of her go-to hairstylist Chris Appleton.
