Selena Gomez is basically never not busy. When she’s not throwing bachelorette parties and giving emotional wedding speeches, she’s out promoting her latest projects, like her Coach collaboration. She also hit up the Cannes Film Festival and made a surprise performance appearance at Coachella—and the year’s only half over.
Basically we’ve been blessed with over a decade of Sel—and her ever-evolving hairstyles. This is a woman who doesn’t know the phrase awkward teen years—she’s never had a single bad-hair day as far as we can tell. In honor of her twenty-seventh birthday, we’re taking a look back at the past 12 years of nothing but gorgeousness. Side-swoop bangs of the aughts included.
-
Straightened, layered, with side bangs—Selena had the cut so many of us failed at achieving back in the mid-aughts.
-
Corkscrew curls: always a classic.
-
When you think of Selena in Wizards of Waverley Place, this is the look. Red highlights and all.
-
A chic look at any age, but it kind of hurts how much cooler she was than us at 15.
-
Blunt bangs, baby! Selena really wore this look so well.
-
Side-swoop bangs, still going strong. This time with extra help from extensions.
-
Selena looks so glam here with voluminous Hollywood waves and a super-deep part.
-
Selena was ahead of her time with this one. It looks so 2017, just seven years too early.
-
The waves were gone for a bit and she let her hair hang straight.
-
Consider this the era of “Cali hair.”
-
Collarbone-length hair with just a touch of movement at the ends looks amazing on Sel.
