Since then, her ginger buzz has become her go-to look.

Leaving hair atop this style allows for more versatility when it comes to styling.

Her sculpted undercut with shaved, bleached blonde is a drastic contrast to herpompadour-style ponytail.

As if that weren’t statement-making on its own, she decided to keep her natural brown color.

The cut is longer than a buzz, which allows for more volume throughout.

Here, she opts for a long hangingside bangon the right side while her left is shaved.

The rest of her hair is swept up into a neatballerina bun.

She left a bit of length along the center, adding texture and movement to an otherwise short chop.

A side braid creates a clear split between Natalie Dormer’s freshly-buzzed side and her cascading waves.

We love herombrecolor here, too.

In 2022, she added stunning jewelry to her freshly-buzzed cut on the red carpet.

The singer has an elf ear-inspired designed that sits right by the hairline.

Some fear an awkward grow-out process, but Kanell proves this stage makes for the perfect transition.

Here, she paints semi-permanent hair dye on her blonde hair for a funky polka-dotted effect.

It also coincidentally matches the multicolored tattoo adorned on her ear.
