In the entertainment world, it's all about being different. Women and men alike go to any length to look unique. One of the most obvious ways celebrities change their appearance is with their hair. Sometimes they give themselves a new do for an upcoming movie role, or just because they're tired of looking like everyone else!

Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson is one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood. Despite being an icon, she has never stopped evolving her style, and now that we know all about what it takes to be a woman at the top — from hairstyles to makeup tips-- Scarlett's latest beauty trend is more accessible than ever.

Some of Scarlett's most iconic beauty transformations have been when she chopped off all her hair in 2014.

Known for her fiery red hair, Scarlett Johansson traded in long locks and vibrant colors for a more subdued vibe. She rocked short hair with confidence for years. The versatility that she exuded while rocking this style made it hard not to be tempted by chopping off all your hair when you saw how well she could work on centimeters alone!

Emma Watson

After a decade of starring in the Harry Potter franchise, Emma Watson chopped off all her hair into a pixie crop to end the iconic role.

Emma Watson has never stopped evolving as a woman, and her hair is no exception. Her long blonde locks were the signature of Hermione Granger in Harry Potter. Still, ever since then, she's become an advocate for women to do what they want with their appearance without restrictions such as gender norms or 'acceptable' beauty standards.

The actress herself said, "I'm under so much pressure all the time — about how I look; my weight." However, this doesn't seem to be stopping Emma from experimenting with different looks.

Emma Watson's hair transformation has been quite the rollercoaster. From being a long-haired brunette to rocking an iconic pixie cut, she got us all hooked on her beauty story!

Millie Bobby Brown

From the moment Stranger Things hit Netflix, she has captured our attention with a confident tone of voice that could persuade anyone to watch an episode or two.

For the majority of her show, Millie had a shaved head full of wisdom. She spoke confidently about shaving her hair and displayed lots of maturity when she claimed that she wanted to do it so other young girls could see past their appearances just like she has done for herself through this experience.

Since then, Brown has had her hair chopped and dyed into various styles. From slicked down to rocker or balayage, she is always looking for ways to reinvent herself.

Natalie Portman

From a little girl who was once relegated to the sidelines of Hollywood, Natalie Portman has grown into an Oscar-winning actress with iconic roles that have made her one of today's most sought-after actresses. From Princess Amidala in Star Wars to Nina Sayers in Black Swan, she's able to transform her hair to match the characters she plays flawlessly.

The long straight hair we all remember growing up seeing on-screen while watching Star Wars vanished when Portman joined V for Vendetta back in 2005 sporting a shaved head.
