15 Celebrities With The Best Hair Transformations Of 2015

I don’t know why but us Indians are obsessed with long hair. How many of us resolve to let go of our length only to chicken out in the hairstylist’s chair? The same goes for most of our Bollywood celebrities, which is why it’s so refreshing when they get adventurous with their hair. This year has been very good as far as celebrity hair transformations are concerned. The bob — or rather, the lob (aka long bob) — seemed to be the haircut of choice in both Bollywood and Hollywood, with most shaving off quite a few inches from their hair. Here’s my round-up of some of the best looks from the year gone by.

Sonakshi Sinha

Sonakshi has been sporting a stylish bob for quite some time now. I love how she doesn’t restrict herself to wearing it straight and has let it grow out into a shaggy lob.

Nargis Fakhri

After sleuthing around her Instagram handle, it’s obvious Fakhri has sheared off more than just a few inches but I’m not quite sure it’s in lob category. Nevertheless, her inches-below-the-shoulder length hair makes for a refreshing change.

Prachi Desai

Prachi proves that a short bob can work with any outfit, whether she’s working a cool airport look or a heavily embellished Diwali ensemble.

Long story short ! ?? #RockOn2 ✌?️

Priyanka Chopra

Unlike Nargis Fakhri’s pictures, one can make out that Priyanka has knocked off quite a few inches of her hair and I must say the haircut suits her.

Anushka Sharma

Whether she wears it straight or in shaggy waves, Anushka’s lob is always #onpoint.

Show me an outfit with pockets and I’m sold on it !! ??? @alliaalrufai knows ! ?

Kim Kardashian

When it comes to hair and make-up, keeping up with this Kardashian is no easy task. Earlier this year, Kim certainly freaked out the internet (if not broke it) by trading her deep brown locks for a platinum blonde colour during Paris Fashion Week in March.

Adele

When Adele debuted her new short hair on X Factor UK, fans went into overdrive tweeting their support, and not without reason. She looks like a million bucks.

Gigi Hadid

Sure I love her long, blonde tresses, but her faux-bob at the MTV Video Music Awards last month made me wish she had done it for real.

a chop for the night ? ;) big love to the glam fam @brycescarlett & @patrickta A photo posted by Gigi Hadid (@gigihadid) on Nov 24, 2015 at 12:05pm PST

 

Katie Holmes

Letting go of your length can knock off years from your face. Let Katie Holmes’ wavy lob convince you to book an appointment with your hairstylist ASAP.

Jennifer Lopez

There’s absolutely no look that JLo can’t ace, including a choppy lob.

Ellie Goulding

Only recently the songstress announced that she’s actually a redhead and not blonde. Her lob, styled in relaxed, beachy waves is worth copying.

Khloe Kardashian

Her textured lob coupled with colour that’s getting blonder is a welcome break from the extensions.

Kate Middleton

Anything Kate does leads to mass hysteria. Obviously we would notice it when she sheared off inches of her length. The cut along with the flattering long side-swept fringes takes off years from her face.

  #KateMiddleton rocked yet another impeccable look. She is always a top #styleicon!   A photo posted by HollywoodLife (@hollywoodlife) on Dec 10, 2015 at 8:04am PST

Emma Watson

From carrying off the pixie cut to an asymmetrical bob, Emma Watson transitions through hairstyles with ease.

@emmawatson is rocking a new hair cut — and we’re totally obsessed! ?

Jennifer Lawrence

J.Law has been gradually shifting towards an icier blonde, and giving us a serious case of #hairenvy.

Kangana Ranaut

When the glamorous actor traded in her trademark curly hair for a super-short bob, I LOVED her look (after the initial shock wore off).
