When we think of Selena Gomez’s hair, we conjure up an image of glossy, raven waves that are brimming with body – much like her current mid-length look. However, the singer’s hair history is a catalogue of experimental colour, cuts and braids that date from her Disney days to her current campaign-clinching status.
Albeit briefly, Selena was one of the first celebs to revive the rainbow hair trend, and she rocked the bob before 2015’s craze took hold. Mermaid lengths, choppy layers and an eyelash-skimming fringe all feature on Selena’s hair timeline, making her one of our favourite stars to track when our own style needs a refresh.
So, let's take a look at her hair history, shall we? We almost forgot about that dip-dye.

By 2008, the young actress was embracing an edgier 'do with poker straight lengths and slices of blonde.

Remember when feather clip-ins were a thing? Selena jumped on the bandwagon.

We wonder how much hairspray held this abundance of shiny curls in place.

Bumper braids are one of Selena's failsafes, and this quiffed 'do is a stand-out.

Her Met Gala look was, in a word, floral. We love this statement hair accessory.

The bob was back for Selena in May as the trend started gaining traction.
