44 Photos Proving How Much Katy Perry's Hair Has Changed in 15 Years

It seems like Katy Perry [1] — aka pop music's haircut and colour queen [2] — changes her beauty look every time we blink. While we might not be able to keep up with her and go-to stylist Chris Appleton [3], we certainly can't get enough of her cut and colour transformations.

The singer has gone from a dark brunette shoulder-length style in 2004 [4] at the start of her career to her current sexy blond pixie cut [5] and has tried just about every rainbow hue and hair length in between. Most recently, in an unexpected change, Perry went from a candy pink shade [6] straight out of our teenage dreams to a superstylish lob styled in beach waves. [7]

Perry has always made her opinions clear when it comes to her hairstyle, colour, or cut. In February, she told Paper magazine the real reason she first cut her hair [8] into a pixie in 2017: "People talk about my hair, right? They don't like it or they wish that it was longer," she said. "I so badly want to be [birth name] Katheryn Hudson that I don't even want to look like Katy Perry anymore sometimes. That is a little bit of why I cut my hair, because I really want to be my authentic self."
