The Best Celebrity Hair Makeovers of 2021 (So Far)

Is there anything better than getting your hair cut and/or colored, leaving the salon and feeling like a supermodel? No, we don’t think there is. But because of the current climate, seeing your hairstylist might not be as easy and getting your split ends cut off or your roots done might just be a quick in-and-out appointment without all the fun. That’s one reason why we’re so obsessed with actors and influencers who switch up their look on a dime. We’re jealous, sure, but it’s also aspirational AF. So, we’re rounding up the best celebrity hair makeovers of 2021 as they come so you can drool with us.

Though, it’s not just about drooling over these looks. Saving this page and referring back to it at the hair salon can help you decide if curtain bangs or a bob is right for you. Hairstylists actually love when you show them photos because they can get a real feel of the vibe you’re looking for and can adjust the look into something that suits your wants and needs. This goes for color, too. Did you ask for balayage when you really meant a shadow root? It’s easier to just give examples of what you want.

Some of these celebrity looks aren’t permanent. Stars love to play around with wigs, extensions and faux bangs. But there’s nothing wrong with that. Real or faux, we’re taking inspo from our favorites to figure out our next look for 2021 and beyond.

Katy Perry

Why not start with one of the biggest hair chameleons? Though she’s been ultra-blonde for a while, we can’t help but miss a brunette Katy Perry. It’s classically chic and fits her personality. So, when we saw these photos of backstage at Jimmy Kimmel Live, we were so excited to see the long brown hair. But it seems it’s a wig and she’s already back to blonde.

8 Things to Remember as We Age and Come to Terms with Hormonal Changes

Hormonal-Changes as we age

Over the years, I have discovered there are certain pieces of common sense that apply to our weight and overall health.

Whether we want to lose or gain weight, we cannot ignore these facts. That is, unless we want to bury our heads in the sand, or we have discovered the secret to Eternal Youth and still have the body we had when we were 18!

The Two Major Weight Experiences

As we advance in years, we experience two major events that have to do with body weight. One is loss of hormones which leads to thickening around the waist, growth of beard and/or mustache, changes in the hair, etc.

The other one is slowing metabolism, which includes all of the above and adds larger feet, tiredness, a bigger bust, dry skin, and more. In other words, there are some things we cannot change because they will happen anyway, and it becomes a question of degree.

Christmas and General Celebrations

You may not be thinking about Christmas right now – and in fact we hope you aren’t – but you know what will happen when it arrives. The same thing that happens when you have a birthday or an anniversary or a celebration of any kind. The table is loaded with food!

If you go to the gym regularly, it usually gets abandoned, and, for whatever reason, you’re eating habits may change on the special day and continue that way afterward.

Here are eight small things to remember that will help you combat food overload.

You Are Unique

If you go to a gym (or have signed up to an online do-it-at-home program) and the 21-year-old girl with the 21-year-old body instructs you to do something, it doesn’t mean the exercise is right for you. Understand your limitations which are there for a reason.

You may not have exercised for a while, so take it easy when you start. You may have arthritis which is worse some days than others. You’re a big girl now and can decide what is right for you and what isn’t. The 21-year-old may sulk, but that’s not your problem.

Weight Loss Is Not Always a Good Thing

If you’re sacrificing your health to shed weight, the loss can be dangerous. Remember, a drop on the scales doesn’t necessarily equal fat loss. Your weight is a terrible way to measure your size.

Throw the bathroom scales out of the window. The only thing they’re measuring correctly is how bad you feel. Use photos and measurements to track your progress and keep an eye on your stats. You will see real results and feel terrific about yourself!

Health Is a Lifestyle

If you choose to undertake a body transformation program, don’t forget that what gets you started may not be the one that will keep you going.

You cannot limit a healthy lifestyle to a 30-day d.i.e.t. Instead, consider easing into a healthy lifestyle with sensible eating and perhaps yoga to keep you supple, stretched, and energised!

Sleep

Why do we forget the importance of sleep? Easily as important as the food you eat and the exercise you do, a good night’s sleep can improve your health mentally, physically, and emotionally.

If you don’t sleep well, there are many tips that can help you get a good night’s sleep. Try magnesium or valerian, natural and designed to help you get a healthy eight hours of slumber.

Stop Cutting Calories

Cutting calories will only slow your metabolism, lower your energy levels, and increase your appetite! Cutting back on food volume is the sensible way to go. If necessary, use smaller plates. It will make a huge difference.

Take Your Weight Less Seriously

Having an anxiety attack over what to eat or a missed training session is doing you more harm than good. If planning food for the week is too tiresome a chore, follow a plan with menu options.

If you don’t lose those 10 kilos in the first 6 weeks, ask yourself how long it took you to gain those 10 kilos to begin with!

Slow Down

Achieving your health goals will never happen quickly. There will be no instant gratification on this one and yes, you will have setbacks and plateaus. But you know that even slow progress is progress.

Start Thinking in Outcomes

A ‘naughty’ meal or a missed yoga class will not destroy your health. Feeling like a failure for eating Chocolate or Chocolate Chip Ice Cream will. Guilt is a dangerous emotion. Never feel guilty, just enjoy your treats while you can!

How do you keep tabs on your size if there is too much celebration happening in your life? We love to hear about the exercise and eating habits of others, so please, share yours with us.

Your Signature Nail Polish Color, According To Your Myers-Briggs Personality Type

Whether for a job interview, your college psychology 101 class, or just to virtually check your compatibility with a new Hinge match, chances are you’ve taken the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) personality inventory at some point or another, but have you ever used the infamous questionnaire to help determine the hue of your next manicure? Well, there’s a first time for everything, y’all and you’re about to find out the best nail color to rock next based on your MBTI personality.

In case you have no idea what I’m talking about, allow me to explain. The Myers-Briggs questionnaire is essentially a multiple-choice-style self-report that assesses the ways you think, perceive, process emotions, work with others, etc. based on a series of questions aiming to ascribe a set of traits through the following four personality dichotomies: introversion or extraversion, sensing or intuition, thinking or feeling, judging or perceiving. There are sixteen different types total — each based on a stereotype originally outlined by Swiss psychologist Carl Jung — including INFJ, the “Counsellor,” ENFJ, the “Giver,” and ISFJ, the “Defender.”

Never taken the Myers-Briggs personality test for yourself? The official MBTI test does cost money, but a quick Google search will give you plenty of similar alternatives you can take online for free if you prefer. Regardless of its accuracy and reliability (both of which have been widely disputed), I think most of us can agree taking these introspective personality tests is a fun way to get to know yourself a little better — or at least to feel somewhat understood. Ahead, we’ve picked out the best nail color to complement each personality type (and to elevate your next mani with some personalized flair).

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.
