You've spent the last few weeks obsessively pinning haircuts and Googling every last shade of blonde (or brown, or red...). But if you need one last push before booking the damn hair appointment, then let these celeb makeovers be your guide.
In the past year, these stars took major risks with their strands, experimenting with blunt fringes, wild colours, and dramatically different lengths. And while they all look amazing both before and after their switch-ups, it's inspiring to see others try something totally new and out of their usual comfort zones.
So, whether you're feeling a dramatic change or a subtle one, know that you're in great company. And who knows? Maybe you'll find your next look, ahead.

After: But once winter rolled around, she graduated to a jet black bob — and it couldn't accentuate her brows better.

Rihanna
Before: Rihanna is constantly transforming her look, so we didn't expect this hairstyle to stick around for long...

After: And, sure enough, she switched to thick, faux dreads by fall, a great protective style for natural girls during the colder months.

Chloe and Halle
Before: Sisters, singers, and Beyoncé protégées Chloe and Halle always grace the stage with style as unique as their sound. Earlier last year, they wore their hair in beautiful, intricate updos.

After: And they upped the ante at the VMAs, boldly sporting a litany of gold hoops along their dreadlocks.

Kristen Stewart
Before: Kristen Stewart kept her brunette hair slicked back and short at the 2015 New York Film Critics Circle Awards, achieving the no-fuss, low-maintenence look we love her for.

Lily Collins
Before: With her polished hair and romantic makeup, it's no wonder the star played a princess on screen.

After: But this year, we saw her wild side with a maroon crop and smoky eyes, proving she's not one to be typecasted.

Hailey Baldwin
Before: Hailey Baldwin started the year with effortless curls and a piecey fringe that would make any '70s girl proud.

After: But she arrived at a VMA party a few months later with a decidedly modern chop — and grown-in roots — that we couldn't stop swooning over.

Zendaya
Before: Zendaya is the chameleon of hair, changing up her style as often as her outfits. The actress and singer had way too many makeover moments this year to count...

After: But we especially loved her short crop and S-waves at the FN Achievement Awards.

Zoe Kravitz
Before: Zoe Kravitz was already our ultimate badass beauty icon. And how could she not be, growing up in a house with Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet?
Photo: Taylor Hill/FilmMagic.
After: Oh, but there’s more. Not only did our girl go white blonde, but she went white blonde with braids. Take that, 2017.

Keke Palmer
Before: We've always loved Keke's look, but it really took flight in 2016. And this was just the beginning of her transformation.
Photo: Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic.
After: She ended the year rocking burgundy box braids, suggesting an era of adventurous colour in 2017. (Yes, Keke, yes.)

Ashley Graham
Before: Ashley Graham's long, wavy hair was lovely, of course..

After: But her messy chop is giving us all the feels — and brings more attention to her piercing eyes.

Olivia Munn
Before: Olivia's fringe makeover went in reverse. She started with blunt, wispy pieces.

After: And spend the year growing them out into these pretty, face-framing pieces.
