Julianne Hough Made a Dramatic Hair Change — See Her New Look

Julianne Hough definitely isn't afraid of change when it comes to her hair. The actress and former Dancing with the Stars judge was known for years for her long blonde locks. But in the past year or so, she's switched things up constantly. Last fall, she went lighter than ever before with a platinum dye job inspired by her own baby photos. 

Then, she found herself as a true redhead (you have to see the pics). Now she's back to her original blonde, but with a twist: a brand-new bob with full-on bangs. Check out her short and sophisticated chin-length cut:

Julianne explained the practical reason behind her new look on Instagram, writing: "Detaching from what you know can be challenging, but also so freeing. :) The best thing about hair is how you get to create, play and just have fun with it! So here is a new look, courtesy of frizzy ends needing a clean cut after going from red to blonde."

Through it all, Julianne's trusted her stylist Riawna Capri of LA's Nine Zero One Salon, who told Allure that the inspiration for this latest cut is a "chic French bob" — and that this star is fearless. "Julianne never gets stuck doing the same thing," she told the magazine. "Bangs are something she always wanted to try for years and we finally just went for it!"
