Dakota Johnson’s long brunette locks and French-girl fringe are so key to her look these days that it’s easy to forget that she’s a natural blonde. But over the course of her years in the spotlight, the actor has never been shy about shaking up her hair. You name it, she’s done it: side bangs, bobs, Italian midi-cuts, braids, romantic updos, balayage, a brief dalliance with copper… the list goes on.

And it’s often to trendsetting effect. Johnson was wearing a “clean girl” slick-back and accessorising with barrettes (a resurgent hair accessory) way back in 1998. With the help of hairstylist Mark Townsend and colourist Tracey Cunningham, she’s as influential as ever. This autumn alone, she’s had salon customers requesting her “glossed espresso” colour and Christy Turlington-inspired bangs. So, in honour of Johnson’s birthday, we’ve compiled some of her best hair moments through the years to inspire your next cut.
