Selena Gomez's 48 Greatest Hair Looks of All Time

We love Selena Gomez for a number of reasons: her beauty chameleon tendencies (she gave us a strong urge to try slate-blue contacts ), her ability to deliver the perfect hook-laden breakup song, and, of course, her Pinterest-worthy, lustrous head of hair.

We've rounded up 48 of our all-time favorite hair moments from the pop star.  From low chignons to Victoria's Secret–worthy waves, keep scrolling to see the most stunning Selena Gomez hair moments of all time.

Face-Framing Fringe

Selena Gomez has rocked her fair share of high ponytails over the decades, but the multi-hyphenate has always known that subtle details are key to transforming the basic hairstyle into a head-turner. At the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, the actor turned her grown-out bangs into wavy, face-framing pieces to bring her look together.

Side-Parted Retro Waves

The actor-slash- Rare Beauty founder is constantly giving the classic wavy 'do a revamp. Here, she takes on a deep side part, with her tresses in retro-inspired waves . The trick to achieving the look? A wide-barrel curling iron and a generous coat of hairspray.

Breezy Waves

Speaking of waves, Gomez goes for an effortlessly tousled look while promoting Only Murders In The Building . She wore her hair in easy breezy curls, letting her bold red lip and chunky silver earrings take center stage up top.

Voluminous Ponytail

If we're taking ponytail inspo from any celebrity, it's Selena Gomez. The actor gives the updo an intentionally tousled finish not just with loose waves and flyaways, but lots of volume at the base.

Byrdie Tip

Get Selena Gomez-level volume by blow-drying your hair with a rounded brush before going in with either a lightweight mousse and/or root-lifting spray.

Sleek and Center

Sometimes, the best glam is the most simple. At Variety 's 2022 Hitmakers Brunch, the "Calm Down" singer straightened her brunette locks with a near-perfect center part and slightly-curled ends.

Perfect Lob

Ponytail, waves, and lobs are all Gomez's forté. She debuted a just-about-perfect, shoulder-hitting bob at the 2023 Rare Impact Fund Benefit, wearing her dark hair with a middle part and bone-straight locks.

Full-Coverage Bangs

Selena Gomez loves a full fringe moment. Here, she showed off her newly-dyed brown hair and coordinating bangs, bumping them ever-so-slightly to hit right above her eyebrows.

Slicked-Back Spiky Bun

Gomez's red carpet slick-back bun can be achieved at home in just a few steps: Use a rattail comb to give your hair a precise side part before brushing it back and twisting it into a low bun. Be sure to add gel or mousse to prevent pesky stray hairs. Leave a bit of hair out for a spiky finish .

Tousled Curls

Selena Gomez lets her natural curls (and natural skin) shine with this look. Those with curly texture won't have any problems replicating the style, though a medium-barrelled curling iron can help if needed.

Side-Pony

Here, Selena's long tresses are pulled into a low ponytail with waves on the ends. We love the addition of a slick side part, which could easily take this look into the evening.

Sleek Bob

It's hard to go wrong with a long bob like the one seen above. The blunt ends are rounded slightly, and the center part keeps the look modern.

Fringe Moment

Selena's blunt lob gets the addition of a full fringe in this half-up, half-down style . A spritz of texture spray ensures the ends stay beachy and casual.

Slicked-Back Knot

A simple topknot is both casual and elegant, especially when paired with gleaming gold jewelry, as seen here.

Byrdie Tip

To get the look, pull your hair into a ponytail, secure it with elastic, twist the end in a circular motion around the base of the elastic, and pin it into place.

Golden Waves

Loose, easy waves look great at any time of year. If your strands don't have any natural wave, fake the look by applying a lightweight mousse to wet hair and curling with a 0.75-inch barrel. Set with hairspray and go.

Tip-Top Knot

A high bun pairs well with a thick fringe and sunglasses, and we especially love how Selena's bangs are rounded under. For a similar style, use a round brush and turn to a lightweight gel to smooth flyaways.

Perfectly Undone

A shoulder-skimmimg lob gets amped up thanks to waves, volume and bangs. To replicate the look, curl hair with a medium-barrel iron (moving the iron in different directions so the curls look slightly undone). Finish with texture spray and style with your fingers.

A Rare Updo

This classic low bun and center part is a signature look of Selena's, for good reason. The look is easy to replicate at home and easily moves from day to night.

Ultra-Sleek Lob

This asymmetric bob offers rounded under ends, which helps draw attention to the face. To mimic the look, ask your stylist to cut the hair slightly longer in the front.

Center Stage

This classic look requires little more than a center part, which shows off the face (and this gorgeous makeup look of brown tones). Wrap the end of a ponytail around the base to create an easy bun and cover the elastic.

Over-Directed Part

A loose wave looks very sophisticated with the addition of a deep side part. The look is reminiscent of a 1990s Cindy Crawford and helps add volume to the hair without weighing it down with product.

Floral Accessories

Here, natural waves are accented with fun accessories: pink and white flowers, which are pinned into the pop star's hair while it's in a half-up style.

Long and Luscious

While her hair is normally on the shoulder-length side, sometimes Selena switches it up. Adding extensions can help with both length and volume, and looks so natural when worn wavy, as seen here.

Ashy Blonde

Here, the pop star's temporarily blonde tresses are pulled back into a low bun. Not only does this create a modern but classic look, but it allows for a bold cat eye and oversized earrings to take center stage.

Rooty Blonde

The blonde bombshell vibes are strong and bold with this sleek and straight style. We especially love how Gomez's roots are about an inch long, allowing for a funky contrast between the two hues.

Milkmaid

A simple pair of French braids , pulled back into a low bun, were the perfect choice for a daytime look. After you've braided the hair and secured the style, try using a product like Oribe's Dry Texturizing Spray for extra hold and grit.

Beach Waves

Think of this style as a more elevated version of beach waves . Here, waves are accented with subtle highlights and plenty of shine.

Retro Chic

This 1980s-inspired style features heavy volume at the roots, a dramatic side part, and romantic waves. To replicate the look, use a volumizing spray.

Throwback Updo

Most recently, Gomez has been switching up her short hair by rocking it in stunning styles. Like this piecey updo, she achieved with the help of a few bobby pins. At the 2018 premiere of Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation , Gomez stunned the red carpet with her lob pulled back into a low-lift updo along with a few wispy ends.

Textured Updo

Gomez arrived at the 2013  Vanity Fair  Oscar Party looking regal with a slightly textured chignon—all the better to show off her jeweled statement earrings.

Face-Framing Moment

A sleek center part and a few well-placed strands falling out of this low bun to make it effortless yet elegant. 

Sculptural Bob

We love this genius retro-inspired faux bob, which Gomez debuted at the 2012  Vanity Fair  Oscar Party.

Classic Selena

This is Gomez in her (hair) element, with her glossy, long waves brushed out to perfection.

Marilyn Moment

Is anyone else getting Marilyn Monroe vibes from this look? Gomez keeps her updo from feeling too formal by leaving out a soft wave in the front. 

Sleek Side Bangs

What's chicer than a slicked-down deep side part? Gomez debuted this polished look at  Glamour 's 2015 Women of the Year Awards.

Fishtails Forever

The easiest way to amp up your average low braid? Add lots of volume and texture around the crown à la Gomez. A brick-red lip doesn't hurt, either.

Byrdie Tip

Spritz a texturizing spray through your strands before braiding. Don't be afraid to deconstruct your braid and pull it apart—the messier, the better.

Textured Braid

We're calling this the most epic Selena braid of all time. 

Messy Bun

We don't know about you, but it takes us  at least  10 tries to achieve the perfect messy bun . Gomez looks effortlessly cool in this carefree bun paired with side-swept bangs .

High Pony

Gomez nailed the messy, voluminous pony at the Los Angeles premiere of her movie  Getaway.  In fact, this might be one of our favorite ponytails of all time.

Full Glam

We can't get over Gomez's look at the 2015 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Sure, her mesmerizing eyes might be the first thing you notice, but we're equally as entranced with her perfectly waved super-shiny, effortless-looking mane. 

Warm Bronde

You can never go wrong with a middle part . Gomez's honey-brown hair color adds so much dimension to this look. 

Glass Hair

Yes to these extra-long, bone-straight extensions. Now we're on a mission to figure out which product gave Gomez this gorgeous sheen. 

Sweet Pony

Gomez looks incredibly timeless in this pulled-back pony. She made this classic look not so simple by adding a bit of texture to her pony. 

Supermodel Length

We love the '90s supermodel look Gomez has going on here. 

Edgy Bob

Have you ever seen a sharper cut ? Gomez debuted this face-framing bob on the 2017 Met Gala red carpet, and it looks like it was made for her. A hint of ombré will never go out of style.

'60s-Inspired

Take Gomez's effortlessly cool approach to half-up, half-down hair . Add another layer by parting your hair in the center and let those hairs loosely fall down to the sides. 

Rosebud Bun

Gomez has had  many  good bun moments in her day, but this rope-twisted bun at the premiere of  13 Reasons Why  takes the top spot. The combination of her twisted low bun, stunning peach eye shadow, and drop earrings is e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. 

Classic Curls

How could we not include these jaw-dropping curls Gomez rocked at the 2016 Grammy Awards? To re-create these defined ringlets, opt for a one-inch curling iron.

The Wet Look

First place goes to Gomez's most recent debut of this glossy, wet-look bob . We're obsessed with how she edged up this popular style by wearing it slicked back perfectly paired with a bold red lip. We're crossing our fingers that she keeps this cool-girl style for a while. 

Byrdie Tip

Achieve Gomez's wet look in a few simple steps: After towel drying your hair, apply a mix of gel and cream of your choice. Use a wide-tooth comb and set the natural waves with clips. Finally, use a diffuser to minimize frizz and enhance the final result.
