NEW SPRING HAIRCUT BY SELENA GOMEZ

Selena Gomez presented her new bangs on TikTok. She then posted a selfie on Instagram for the first time, with her cool bangs and a new beachy bob section. In her selfie she shared, “Who is this new hair?” she wrote.

Selena Gomez showing off her dramatic new hair look for spring; It may have started a current. A bob cut on the chin punctuated by ’70s-inspired bangs. After the pop singer started 2022 with an ultra-chic brunette lob, Orlando Pita cut her hair a few inches and gave Gomez a series of layers and a soft, brow-grain fringe.

“I made the ends of her bangs rougher and added longer modules on the sides so they wouldn’t sit flat,” explains Pita, styling her new hairstyle by adding choppy curls and finishing with a one-inch curling iron. “It’s a nice change, because it’s a way to refresh hair without getting rid of too much length,” says Pita.

Gomez isn’t marking the turn of the era for the first time with her hair transformation. Last April, she took a peroxide dive, replacing her distinctive brunette with an icy platinum blonde. The change comes before Grammy 2022, which is scheduled for Sunday and is nominated for the most qualified Latin pop album arm. Will Gomez walk away with her first golden gramophone statue, opening a new era in her life with her new hairstyle? We’ll just have to wait and see.

Gomez spoke to ELLE.com and reporters this fall about her travels, embracing her own cuteness while presenting the spring collection of her makeup line Rare Beauty. “I have been wearing makeup since I was seven years old. I feel like this breed is messing with me,” the former Disney star began. “You are very young and then you work. I have professionals doing my makeup and when I was 16 I could look 25 out of nowhere and that was crazy. Then I felt like, ‘Oh, I always look so young’. I should have gotten more of that look. I have to try this.’ It just made me question my beauty for what it was.”

When conceptualizing Rare Beauty, Gomez wanted to create a brand for those who had precedent self-doubt about their looks. “I fell victim to wanting to change my face and do something because I see such heavy trends,” she continued. “I think the most rewarding part of creating this line is that we create a place for people who don’t want to finish their work or change their face. They just want to embrace what they are and what they have. Even if you like to wear more makeup, even that will sort of work with my brand,” she added, explaining that Rare Beauty’s multi-sidedness represents “a kind of mind, body and soul” pleasant experience. “That’s why I wanted the brand to be there for girls, boys, and anyone who feels like it’s okay not to look like everyone else.”
