Before & After: Hair transformations that give us hope

Hair transformations give us hope and sometimes, can even inspire us to make a change. We're looking at some of the best before and after pics.

Hair transformations are always fun to look at. We've all imaged what it'd be like to go bright red, or platinum blonde at some point, right? Or wonder what it would be like to chop the whole lot off? Of course, would we be brave enough...? Maybe, depending on who's holding the scissors (or hair dye).

Sometimes it doesn't have to be a dramatic change. There's also something satisfying about seeing a wild, untamed mane turned into a sleek, shiny flow of hair too. It's amazing what a good conditioning treatment can do.

Here are some of our favourite before and after pictures that give us hope.

From fluffy to fab

Trying to grow out balayage or low lights can be a pain. Which is why it must have felt so good to leave the salon with this new 'do.

Going from a honey blonde to cool silver can make a big difference to how your complexion looks. We love this subtle tonal change.

It can be tricky to decide whether to go darker once you've lightened your hair. But keeping some lightness around your face will help to lift the over all look.

It takes a brave woman to go for a bold colour like red, but when it's done well it looks so striking.

Are you thinking about a hair transformation for 2019? Or are you happy to live vicariously through other people like us?
