2) Sweet To Sophisticated
She looked like a sheltered angel before and now she oozes sophistication and class. Her slight smirk and perfect brows help her case, but it’s that new cut that is inspiring everyone. The texture is phenomenal.

This haircut says, “you got the job,” because it’s just that sophisticated and trustworthy. Her orange hair was a statement and it looked great, but her new one is even bolder in its own way.

This girl looked like she’d never had a haircut before. The transformation is stunning. Her youthful locks were gorgeous on her but the new look suits her. Some agree, some disagree, but all that matters is that she’s loving it.

This woman was diagnosed with Alopecia, which causes her to lose her hair. She took it by the horns and showed it who is boss with this trendy red style. It looks so amazing on her, she wonders why she didn’t do it years ago.

Some say that the razor cut is dead but this is proof it can be done and done right. This textured razor cut look works for her. It is a fascinating way to go and not everyone can pull it off, she’s a lucky one.

When you have type 4 hair, it’s hard not to go straight to straightening when times get tough. When you’re feeling up to it though, you reset by getting a new short cut to embrace your curls. That’s what this amazing woman did.

8) Chloe’s Exciting Journey
This is Chloe and she went through a lot over a five-year period. She got braces, lost weight, and found a new confidence. Her new hair says it all and it looks like it was made for her. Can you say perfection?

She looks beautiful either way, but those freckles are stealing the show. Her long hair made her look like a model, but her shorter hair makes her look like a supermodel. This change was a good one.

Now this is how you wear a bob. Her hair looks amazing, fresh, and chock full of personality. Although her long hair was pretty, sometimes, all you need is to chop it all off to reveal a new you.

Growing out your hair is no joke. It takes years! That’s why it’s so inspiring when women like these go for it. This lady cut her hair and got one of the best highlighting jobs that I’ve seen on dark hair.

It’s so easy to let your hair do what it does as you age. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Do what you always wanted to do when your hair starts to grey. Go full-on white or go bold with bright red.

There’s nothing like a new haircut to liberate you. This woman had the hair that most women crave. She looks amazing! Perfect hair, makeup, and smile. But whenever she got that cut she wanted, we all got a new cut to crave.

You can’t really say her long hair wasn’t fabulous, because it was, but that new textured look is just amazing. How she got her hair that shiny is beyond me, but the world needs to know here secrets.

There’s something special about cutting it all off and changing your color dramatically. When you do it as well as this woman did, you can impress anyone. Even if you like long locks, you can’t ignore how great she looks.

16) From Pretty To Gorgeous
Her long hair worked but her new bob is working overtime. She looks like a model and should be proud of the progress she’s made. If her eyes can’t kill then her new hair can. This is a great transformation.

This momma is looking good! After getting an adorable pixie cut, she looks ten years younger, at least. But the best part is that she looks happier and more confident in her new hair. That’s what matters most!

18) Can’t Resist The Bangs
These may be the best bangs I’ve seen today. Although this transformation isn’t all that dramatic altogether, it just goes to show you what a difference bangs can make. Some look better with them and some without.

Whatever it is that she was looking for, she found it. This look is so her, you can tell without even knowing her. It must be the glint in her eye or her initial panic face in the first picture. What a fun woman!

This woman looks like a doll with her perfect makeup and doll-like features. But her hairstyles are totally different. Her original hair made her look like a 1960s Barbie but her new one makes her look like the Barbie every girl wants in 2020.

Even Rapunzel cut her hair without hesitation. Her hair was magic and it still wasn’t what made her who she is, so she did it! What an inspiring story! We can all learn something from girls like this.

This young lady got her hair cut for Wigs for Kids. She donated it all and she’s never looked better, inside and out. Her long hair was unique but there’s something about her new feathery look that is beyond charming.

She may have looked respectable before, but now she looks fun and respectable. Now, you’d want to take her out for a night on the town and still ask her for advice. That’s the best of both worlds.

If you’re struggling with what haircut to get, consider one like this. It looks good on anyone and is versatile too. Get it long enough to put in a ponytail or keep it shorter. It’s all up to you.

32) Is This The Same Woman?
Her heart may be one-in-the-same but she looks like a completely different person. Twenty years younger, bolder, and dare I say, more alluring. The color looks so good on her that it might as well be her natural color.

38) Make A Bold Statement
Whether you’re doing at-home colorings or waiting too long in-between, when you go for bold colors, it can fade out. It isn’t always pleasant either. It’s always so nice to go back to that bright look you long for.

Her long hair looks great and so youthful, but every other girl has that look. That’s why she switched to the refreshing pixie cut to mix things up. It’s daring, yet looks good on almost anyone.

Although the yellow doesn’t look bad, the platinum looks so much better. With that black underneath, it’s a whole look that Avril would be proud of. This look never goes out of style, especially when done so well.
