Selena Gomez’s best hair moments through the years

Is it just us or does Selena Gomez always have the most gorgeous hair? No, for real, does she ever have a bad hair day? We think not. How could she when she's pretty much the definition of hair goals? It's not even like she always wears her hair the same way to ensure it always looks good like for example, Arianna Grande, not that there is anything wrong with that. Selena is just not afraid to take some risks when it comes to styling her hair and there are lots of photographs to prove it.

Selena is adventurous with her hairstyles in a way that totally inspires us. She'll wear her hair down, up, half up and half down, or anywhere in between. She's worn her hair at varying lengths throughout the years as well. She even switches up the color on occasion. And what's truly mind-blowing, is that every single hairstyle she blesses us with looks like effortless perfection on her. She never ever looks like she is trying too hard.

Either she really never has a hair fail or she simply speaks up any time a style doesn't work. It helps that she has a full head of what looks like very healthy hair to work with and a face that is just so darn pretty. Who knows, maybe with that hair and a face like that, it's just not possible for her to look anything less than lovely?

She's proven that extensions also work for summer.

A lot of people opt for short hair during the hotter summer months, but Selena has a better hack. Short hair just isn't as versatile, so when she wants to switch it up and try a long look in the summer, she simply adds extensions in different lengths and shades.

Selena looks adorable in a shaggy hairstyle.

Can we just say, our jaws dropped when we peeped this pic of Selena Gomez's short and shaggy bob on her Instagram feed? We never would have imagined a haircut like this one would look so chic and sexy.

Selena went back to blond.

Selena typically embraces her naturally dark hair, but she does like to lighten things up every once in a while. In a promo for her HBO Max series Selena + Chef that was released in October 2021, she revealed that she went blond again.

She rocked some vintage volume.

Selena gave off gorgeous vintage hairstyle vibes with this voluminous look. It was a soft and delicate style that was still super sexy. It was perfect for the quirky, hair-themed video for the song "Selfish Love" she did with DJ Snake.

She wore this look for a television appearance in January 2020.

Selena's hairstylist Marissa Marino posted this picture of a style she created for the songstress in January. Selena sported this retro chic look for an appearance on the Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon. How perfect is that eyeliner, too?

Here she makes a case for air-dried natural waves.

No fair! Her air-dried waves are too perfect. Is she getting some kind of special air that is only available to celebrities or something? Nope, her hair really is just that nice. The center part is very pretty on her.

Sexy hair, don't care!

If this isn't the epitome of sexy hair, then we don't know what is! It's like refined bedhead waves that frame her gorgeous face perfectly. Peep the golden highlights that add luminosity.

Combine a ray of sunlight with smiles and a shag and you get this look!

We are absolutely loving this modern take on a shag haircut. Her hairstyle seems to match that happy smile. Selena looks like she could star in a Charlie's Angels film. Wouldn't that be perfect? Do you hear us, Hollywood? Make it happen.

Knot your average bun.

Selena wore her hair in a low bun to the Dolittle movie premiere. She plays Betsy in the film. What we love about this look is that the actual bun is understated, but still has dimension to it. It's like a knot and a bun.

Exquisite, much?

Selena looks like a fairy tale princess with this hair. It's absolutely exquisite. Not a hair out of place and the way it frames her face in profile is like WOW, WOW, and WOWZERS! So sleek, but still interesting to look at.

Behold the braided beauty.

Does this look remind you of an animated character? It should since it was inspired by Anna from Frozen. Selena braided up for the Frozen 2 premiere and it totally worked. Elsa's braids are iconic, so we love that she went with the theme.

Look at her!

For her "Look at Her Now" video, Selena went with a blond braided ponytail. What's particularly fun about this look is that she kept the top of her hair dark brown and only the ponytail was blond. Brunette in the front and blond in the back.

Her beach waves give us life.

The textured waves she sported in these Coach campaign ads were everything. Seriously, it's hard to choose what hairstyle looks best on her because every hairstyle she ever rocks looks wonderful. Must be nice.

Her Met Gala lob was chic beyond chic.

We're still talking about it. It's so simple, which just goes to show that you don't have to go over the top with your hair for fancy events. She could wear her hair like this with jeans and a T-shirt and look stellar.

A long bob is one of her go-to styles.

For the We Day California 2017 event, she opted for a lob with a side part. Somehow changing where she wears her part, gives her lob a totally different feel. How often do you change up your part?

Look at her with this adorable bob!

Guess what? It's a wig. But you know what? It is a really good wig because we totally thought it was her hair at first. And now we know that should she choose to get a short bob, it would look killer on her.

We love when she embraces her natural texture.

Her loose waves really are full of volume and frame her face beautifully. She looks great when she straightens her hair and she looks just as great when she lets her hair's natural texture do its thing.

She loves a good updo.

This elegant center-parted, low braided bun with a really brings out her gorgeous facial features. We love how adventurous she is with her hair and how she doesn't use it to hide. Some people seem to use their hair to hide behind, but not Ms. Gomez.

Sometimes she likes to go all out.

The floral headpiece worn over this elegant chignon brought her look to a WHOLE new level. We can almost smell the flowers. She looks as fresh as a garden in full bloom. It's a very Old Hollywood look that we absolutely adore.
