New year, new hair.

Leaving the salon with a fresh new hairstyle, things feel... different. The air tastes a tad sweeter and our gait is a little freer. It is as though we are on the precipice of something new. With this in mind, it&rsquo;s unsurprising that some celebs have already undergone hair transformations this year. After all, it&rsquo;s not just a new &lsquo;do, it&rsquo;s a new lease on life. 
<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/biggest-celebrity-hair-transformations-of-2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Last year</a>, we saw natural-looking shades such as "expensive brunette" on celebrities like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/hailey-bieber-dyes-blonde-hair-brown-brunette" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hailey Bieber</a> and oyster grey on style icon Julia Fox. That, of course, isn&rsquo;t to say that 2022 wasn&rsquo;t experimental. There were bold pixie cuts, pinched bobs, and, TikTok&rsquo;s favorite, the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/70s-hair-trends-shag-bangs-comeback" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wolf cut</a>&mdash;a shag-mullet combination.
From shaved heads to daring reds, L&rsquo;OFFICIEL rounds up 2023&rsquo;s best hair celebrity transformations to date.&nbsp;

Shania Twain took to Instagram yesterday with a new photo of herself with platinum blonde hair. She was letting her supporters know that her new album Queen of Me is "almost out" and that "it's time to celebrate" with her fans. This is a big change for the Canadian singer-songwriter from her usual brunette locks, but, hey, it's the year to try new things. &nbsp;

Jon Stewart and Pete Davidson attend the game between the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers at Madison Square Garden on January 31, 2023.

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/pete-davidson-dating-history-kim-kardashian-ariana-grande" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pete Davidson</a> shocked us all with his new hair (or should we say lack thereof) when he sat front row at the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/pete-davidson-emily-ratajkowski-dating-relationship-timeline" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Knicks</a> game on January 31. He sat next to American comedian Jon Stewart and cheered on his favorite team.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/hailey-bieber-birthday-street-style" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hailey Bieber</a> has officially deemed 2023 as the year of the bob. The model took to Instagram and TikTok to show off her fresh new haircut, where she captioned her videos, "Oops." Guess the salons are about to receive a ton of requests for the big chop.&nbsp;

Shawn Mendes

Singer <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/shawn-mendes-new-song-in-my-blood" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shawn Mendes</a> swapped his signature curly locks for a modern buzz cut. Some fans are mourning the loss. Others think this aesthetic departure is a refreshing change. Regardless, the cut was a transformation indeed, starting our list off strong.

Kourtney Kardashian

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/kourtney-kardashian-fashion-moments-instagram-boyfriend-travis-barker" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kourtney Kardashian</a> has ushered in the new year with a bright red bob. This fiery hue turns up the heat on last year&rsquo;s &lsquo;it&rsquo; color, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/copper-hair-trend-celebrity-beauty-kendall-jenner-gigi-hadid-barbie-ferreira" target="_blank" rel="noopener">copper red</a>, which was popularized by her supermodel sister <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/kendall-jenner-highest-paid-supermodel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kendall Jenner</a> and The White Lotus star <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/sydney-sweeney-interview-euphoria-season-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sydney Sweeney</a>.&nbsp;
Having undergone a <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/what-to-know-about-travis-barker-kourtney-kardashian-finace-drummer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">goth girlfriend</a> (<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/kourtney-kardashian-travis-barker-wedding-italy-dolce-and-gabbana" target="_blank" rel="noopener">now wife</a>) style rebrand, Kardashian&rsquo;s departure from her signature dark tresses may come as a shock. However, it seems we should have suspected this all along. The bright red hue is a favorite of her daughter Penelope Disick, who debuted the look back in 2021 for the Barker family&rsquo;s holiday card.

Brad Pitt

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/young-brad-pitt-photos-jennifer-aniston-90s-movies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brad Pitt</a> is no stranger to the art of hair transformation. The actor has truly run the gamut, rocking everything from an undercut to lengthy <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/kurt-cobain-90s-grunge-style-impact" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kurt Cobain</a>-esque tresses circa 1994.
Most recently, the Babylon star debuted a new haircut at the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/golden-globes-2023-red-carpet-fashion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2023 Golden Globes</a>. The actor&rsquo;s shortened locks and honey-toned highlights appeared youthful and classically chic, bringing just the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/old-hollywood-actress-beauty-tips-makeup-skincare-marilyn-monroe-audrey-hepburn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Old Hollywood</a> elegance for the occasion.

Indina Menzel

Frozen star Idina Menzel showed off her new bob haircut to the tune of "Scuse Me" by <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/lizzo-best-looks-outfits" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lizzo</a> in an Instagram video post. Her new look, styled with gently tousled <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/how-to-plop-curly-hair-tiktok-hairstyle-trend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">curls</a> and a middle part, was the work of celebrity hairstylist Paul Norton.&nbsp;The transformation came as a pleasant surprise to Menzel&rsquo;s followers, who were quick to compliment the singer&rsquo;s striking <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/lob-bob-shoulder-length-hair-inspiration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">chin-length &lsquo;do</a>.
