We’re always on the lookout for hair inspiration, and from casual girl-next-door looks to glammed up red carpet updos, Selena Gomez has done it all. Her knockout brunette hair has ranged in color from raven black to chocolate brown with honey highlights, and we’re here for all of it.

With ponytails, soft buns, and long, flowing curls to choose from, Selena has embodied all of our hair goals over the years. Below, we’ve pulled together five stunning Selena Gomez hair looks to spark inspiration and motive us all to try something new!

At her former Disney Channel co-star David Henrie’s wedding, Selena Gomez had us all in love with her dutch braided bun. Elegant with softness and ease, this summer updo is one that we can all recreate, whether it be for an outdoor party, chic event, or even just your weekend yoga class. Just make sure to part your hair down the middle (just like Selena!) so that you have two equal sections of hair to braid. 

Selena Gomez was breathtaking in her all-red Prada gown at the American Music Awards in 2016–and we’re in love with the hairstyle she chose, too!  The slicked back low ponytail with a middle part accentuates her beautiful face and glittering dangle earrings. The ponytail itself is loosely curled to soften the look and provide texture. We’ll sure be looking back on this red carpet look for inspiration for galas, parties, and elegant events. 

On the red carpet at this nightclub in Vegas, Selena blew us away with her long, flowing locks. She paired borderline beachy hair with a flashy silver dress to stand out at this sparkly, high-glam venue. Ladies with longer locks can easily mimic this seemingly effortless hair look by creating loose curls with a curling iron, using a minimal amount of hairspray or gel, and finishing up with a hair flip or two.

We simply adore this elegant, old school updo that Selena rocked at the Hollywood Stand Up to Cancer Event. With a pair of long, sparkly earrings, this loose bun with a swooping section of hair framing the face is both flattering and unexpected. This style looks especially beautiful with Selena’s subtle, face-framing light auburn highlights. 

Selena looked fresh and spunky in a high ponytail for the premiere of her movie Getaway. Her pony has soft, loose curls and texture at the top of the head for a feminine yet edgy effect. We love that she paired this gorgeous look with a pair of statement earrings, too. Selena may have worn this style for a red carpet event, but you can try out a textured low pony for day-to-day wear, too! It’s a simple way to mix up your go-to weekday hair routine.

The hair looks listed above are just a small handful of the many phenomenal styles that Selena has worn in recent years. So, if you’re running out of hair inspiration, look no further than Selena’s flowing brown locks!
