Whether you know her from Wizards of Waverly Place <\/em>or fell in love with her Rare<\/em> album, Selena Gomez has been a certified icon for years. And in that time, Gomez has had quite the hair evolution<\/a>. She\u2019s had bobs, shags, princess hair, and even flirts with blonde from time to time. The former Disney Channel star has practically done it all, and she\u2019s looked amazing while doing it.<\/p>\n It\u2019s been nearly 20 years since Gomez first made her foray into fame with Spy Kids 3-D <\/em>in 2003. Since then she\u2019s starred in Only Murders in the Building <\/em>alongside Steve Martin, won a Grammy for her Latin Pop Album, hosted her own cooking show, launched her own beauty line, and at one point, was the most followed person on Instagram for almost three years. All throughout her impressive career, she\u2019s had the chance to rock so <\/em>many hairdos. She\u2019s not afraid to go short, to go long, or to try a new color.<\/p>\n Most recently, the \u201cLose You To Love Me\u201d singer did a big chop. In place of her previously waist-length hair, Gomez now has a lob that just brushes her shoulders. She\u2019s also rocking the trendy, soon-to-be-everywhere \u201cExpensive Brunette\u201d color<\/a>. <\/p>\n But back before she ever reached Hair Icon status, she\u2019s had many different looks. With her almost two-decade career in mind, here\u2019s a look back at some of her best and most exciting hair looks.<\/p>\n At one of her first red carpet experiences, Gomez went for a 2007 classic: dramatic side bangs. Like all the cool girls in my middle school, she feathered the ends so her bangs almost entirely cover one of her eyes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n In 2008, Gomez changed up her bang game by opting for blunt, long bangs straight across her forehead. The rest of her hair followed suit, with the sharp bangs as her lob is also mono-length.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n While at the Teen Choice Awards in 2012, Gomez\u2019s naturally dark hair was lightened to a soft bronde balayage. The ombr\u00e9 look featured long layers that ended at her waist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n You could not miss Gomez at Z100\u2019s iHeartRadio Jingle Ball, with her deep brown waist-length hair. Her deep, dark shade was the perfect accessory to offset her ivory strapless dress.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n There comes a point in every brunette celebrity\u2019s career where they must try out blonde, and Gomez\u2019s first turn to the lighter colors was in 2017. She went full platinum blonde with peek-a-boo roots for a lived-in look.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n Back in 2019, Gomez was one of the first celebrities to hop on the shag train. Her \u201870s look was blown out; had wispy, curtain bangs; and boasted subtle low lights for dimension. Even three years later, this look is still so trendy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n Gomez broke out her beautiful, natural curls for her 2020 haircut. The choppiness of her cut allows each curl to bounce to the nth degree and the chestnut and copper tones in her dark hair really pop.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n The length came back for 2021, and Gomez styled her long hair with waves and loose wavy curls. There is a slight balayage effect to her hair that lightens her classic dark brown around her jaw and below. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n Now, in 2022, the Rare Beauty founder is serving businesswoman with a capital B. Between her beauty line, music career, return to acting, and starring in her own cooking show, this low-maintenance cut is ideal for Gomez.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n Switching up her hair look yet again in 2022, Gomez shortened her sleek lob<\/a> into a shaggy, textured bob with wavy bangs<\/a>. While she\u2019s done bangs before, we haven\u2019t seen them quite this undone and tousled except maybe when she went briefly curly on social media in 2022.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n With summer on the mind, Gomez shook things up in May 2022 with waist-grazing, long, layered hair. She switched up her curtain bangs for some \u201870s-inspired, wispy bangs<\/a>. It gives off flower child vibes in the best way \u2014 she just needs to toss up a peace sign.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n Wednesday Addams\u2019 hair<\/a> isn\u2019t the only Wednesday<\/em> character fans are getting their style inspo from. Instead, Gomez seemingly took a cue from the brunette\u2019s roomie, Enid, with a multi-colored bob wig. The OMITB<\/em> star debuted the bright look Dec. 9 via TikTok. The video showed her ducking down beneath a hand drier in a bathroom to dry off her colorful locks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n Miss Gomez brought back the chunky highlights of summer and fall-ified it with honey strands in a soft ombr\u00e9 style. \u201cThe one and only @selenagomez,\u201d Philipp Verheyen, who styled this particular look<\/a> (though not necessarily the color), said on Instagram. \u201cWhat an aura, what a woman,\u201d he added, before thanking her for putting her trust in him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n At the 81st Golden Globes \u2014 days after attending the Lakers game with boyfriend Benny Blanco<\/a> with the same blond tresses she\u2019d been sporting since November \u2014 the best actress nominee seemingly went back to her signature brunette roots.<\/p>\n Though her \u2018do was up in a tight, ballerina bun, fans pointed out that her roots no longer contained honey strands. \u201cDid she change the hair color?\u201d asked one user on X (formerly known as Twitter).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n2007: Selena With Side Bangs<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
