24 Best Celeb Lockdown Hair Transformations We’ve Seen So Far
From Sarah Hyland to Miley Cyrus.
As we all adjust to life at home, a lot of us are struggling with the closing of hairdressers and barbers and not knowing what to do with our hair. For some of us, roots are the problem, for others, it’s greys or being in desperate need of a trim.
However, one thing that’s reassuring to know is that it’s not just us struggling. Even celebrities -who usually look so polished- are in the same boat and (luckily for us), a lot of them have been taking to social media to document their isolation hair transformations.
Whether it’s trying out a new hair colour (because really, when better to try it?), embracing their natural locks or shaving it all off completely, we’re seeing it all! Scroll to see some of our favourites.
Sarah Hyland
Modern Family star Sarah Hyland proudly showed off her DIY quarantine makeover on Instagram. The actress revealed that she’s dyed her brunette hair a bright cherry hue, reminiscent of Ariel’s iconic red hair in The Little Mermaid. She even quoted Ariel herself, captioning the snaps “I wanna be where the people are…”! Disney, if you’re reading this, we think we just found your new princess! Credit: @sarahhyland
Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus has just debuted a daring new look! Her mum, Tish Cyrus, cut Miley’s hair into a super short pixie-mullet. To help her achieve her punky new ‘do, Tish had a celeb hairstylist talk her through the process. Does this also mean new music is coming? Credit: @mileycyrus
Taylor Swift
Ahead of her City of Lover concert being aired on TV, Taylor Swift took to Instagram to celebrate by showing off new pastel pink and blue hair highlights, with this summery picture. We don’t know about you, but we’re ready to DIY this chunky highlight look at home with the help of tissue paper (while listening to her music, ofc!). Credit: @taylorswift
Lana Del Rey
Lana Del Rey has joined the lockdown hair transformation club, sharing this photo of herself with honey blonde hair. The singer, known for her signature glossy dark locks, revealed that she’d used lemons as a way of lightening her hair during this time, writing “When you have no choice but to go back to being a blonde…and there’s nothing but lemons left to cover your roots for nine weeks.” Credit: @lanadelrey
Julianne Hough
To cleverly disguise her darker roots, Julianne Hough has dyed her locks completely pastel pink while in quarantine. The star shared her new lockdown look to her stories, toasting her amazing DIY job with a magenta-coloured smoothie. We love it! Credit: @juleshough
Dua Lipa
Dua Lipa has taken to dyeing her hair a new colour nearly every week of quarantine! Her latest venture? Strawberry red tresses. Credit: @dualipa
Editor’s tip: If you plan on dyeing your hair as much as Dua, you’ll need a damage repairing hair mask in your hair kit! We suggest the TONI&GUY Damage Repair Mask, which will intensely nourish your strands and give them a major mane boost.
Pixie Geldof

Ruby Rose
We’re guessing Ruby Rose couldn’t decide on picking between having blue or pink hair while in quarantine, so she took to Instagram to show off this cool, two-tone hair dye job. Credit: @rubyrose
Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande rarely experiments with dyeing her hair, but it seems the singer wanted to try something different this weekend… The star shared this picture of her lockdown hair on Sunday, featuring new honey brown, e-girl highlights.

Sarah Michelle Gellar
Sarah Michelle Gellar has joined the likes of Dua Lipa and Jennifer Love Hewitt as the latest star to go pink in quarantine. Ditching her trademark Buffy blonde for a rosé pink hue, she explained the reasoning behind her new look to her Instagram followers: “Well because we’re still in quarantine, I had to think of a new and creative way to embarrass my children – quaran-colour!”. And the award for coolest mum of the year goes to…! Credit: @sarahmgellar
Dua Lipa
Dua Lipa is definitely in the running to becoming the quarantine hair chameleon. She had already dyed her hair pink (keep scrolling below to see it) and now she’s debuted another, even brighter hue. She’s now rocking a pastel orange look, which she captioned “orangina quarantina”, keeping the under layers of her hair dark for a cool contrast. Credit: @dualipa

Jennifer Love Hewitt
What do you do when the boredom strikes? Dye your hair pink apparently! At least, that’s what Jennifer Love Hewitt’s done! The actor shared her new hot pink ‘do on Instagram, writing “The smile of a girl who just did at home hot pink highlights because what else can I do right now!” Credit: @jenniferlovehewitt
Editor’s tip: To keep coloured hair looking bright and vibrant, we recommend using a colour protection hair care range, like the TRESemmé Colour Shineplex Shampoo and Conditioner. Infused with camellia oil, the nourishing formula helps to lock in colour for up to 12 weeks.
