From Cuts to Color, These Are the Top 5 Celeb Hair Trends of 2019

As the year comes to an end, we’re taking a look back at some of the hottest trends of 2019 — and oh boy, are they good. For today’s deep dive, it’s all about the hair. [ami-related id="1417317" url="https://www.usmagazine.com/stylish/pictures/celebrity-hair-changes-of-2019-new-haircuts-hair-color-extensions/" title="Celebrity Hair Transformations of 2019: New Haircuts, Color, Bangs, Extensions and More" target="_blank" showsubt="false" thumb="false" imgsrc="https://www.usmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Jennifer-Lopez-Hair-Change-Promo.jpg"] When it came to their locks, celebrities were not afraid to change up their look and, of course, they did this without sacrificing any style. In terms of haircuts, some of the biggest head-turners weren’t necessarily the trendiest (a.k.a. Charlize Theron making the bowl cut super chic) but that doesn’t mean they weren’t headline-worthy. Sleek new bobs spotted on A-listers caused all kinds of buzz this year, from Ivanka Trump's politically powerful chin-grazing snip to Selena Gomez’s ‘90s-inspired chop, slick fresh bobs were all the rage! We’re even thinking about calling 2019 the year of the bob. When it came to hair colors, there were rainbow hues stars favored like Lady Gaga who had pastel blue-purple hair for the Golden Globes. But overall, it was really all about keeping it minimal and embracing one’s natural beauty. This could especially be seen through brunettes getting caramel highlights that look extra healthy and bright. Think: Beyoncé’s shiny strands that were on full display at the Lion King premiere in London. Or Bella Hadid mid-brunette-to-blonde transition, because only a Hadid could make this dramatic and damaging change gracefully and trendily. From standout accessories to extensions go-tos to a totally envy-worthy updo, keep scrolling to see the five hottest hair trends of 2019 as seen on celebrities.

Brow-Grazing Bangs

Though they may not have committed to this head-turning look full-time, celebs loved to add a little drama to their hairstyle with some long fringe clip-ins. It was especially favored for big events like Kacey Musgraves at an Amazon Prime launch party and Rihanna for her Fenty Fashion Week party.

Dramatic Headbands

Hair accessories in general definitely had a moment in 2019, but the most visible of them all was the oversized headband. There was the edgy kind as seen on Angelina Jolie, the silky ribbon spotted on Jessica Alba and the full-on preppy style, which Kate Middleton could seriously rock.

Shiny Caramel Highlights

While we did see some dramatic hair color changes over the past 11 months, the more subtle and natural hues were really what dominated. After all, when Beyoncé wears a look, you know it’s going to be on-trend.

Epic, Long Braids

As for the preferred standout updo of the year, nothing made more headlines than some of the crazy amazing braids we saw on the stars. Zendaya's fishtail just about shut down the Teen Choice Awards red carpet and Dorit Kemsley could have broken the Internet with her weapon of plait.
