Justin Bieber, the Canadian pop sensation, has not only grown up in the spotlight but his hair has also undergone a dramatic transformation throughout the years. From his signature side-swept style that launched his career to more recent experiments with dreadlocks and buzzcuts, Bieber's hair has consistently captured the attention of fans and media alike. This article explores the evolution of Justin Bieber's hair, examining the various styles he has sported and the cultural impact they have had.
The beginning of Justin Bieber’s career can be summed up in two words: his hair. In 2007, every boy between the ages of 12 and 18 had this haircut, which comes with the compulsory need to throw your head back and whip your hair out of your face. Debuting online as a wee boy with more hair than body weight, Justin Bieber began his career with what would become his signature look: a shaggy, side-swept hairstyle, that became his calling card. Aside from minor changes in its swoop, Bieber stayed notably consistent with his look between 2008 and 2010. This look perfectly complemented his youthful image and catchy pop tunes, quickly turning him into a teen idol.
As Bieber matured, so did his hairstyles. In August 2011, for his appearance at the 2011 Video Music Awards, Bieber offered a long-awaited glimpse at his forehead, and accessorized with glasses and Selena Gomez. June 2012, Bieber seemed to have learned how to maintain his original locks: by simply slicking them back into a bouffant. By 2012, Bieber began experimenting with a bouffant style, slicking back his hair for a more mature and sophisticated appearance. The kickoff of Bieber’s Believe tour in South Africa brought his bouffant to the international level. January 2014, Bieber’s cheery mug shot, taken shortly after he was charged with DUI, resisting arrest, and driving without a valid license, featured a magnificent bouffant-perhaps because he’d just spent the night racing.
The "Purpose" era marked a significant shift in Bieber's musical and personal style. Bieber dropped his acclaimed album "Purpose" in the fall of 2015. March 2015, Fully embracing his roast on Comedy Central, Bieber matched his hair to his monkey’s. September 2015, Behold: a bleached-blond Bieber. Bieber began sporting a cut with closely shaved sides and super long top. October 2015, By the next month, though, he was back to his dirty-blond bouffant. November 2015, Who knows what’s hiding under this beanie? The possibilities are endless. January 2016, Bieber started off the new year with a bang-i.e., a man bun. February 2016, By the next month, he’d already moved on to bleached blond, as he showcased at the Saint Laurent show. March 2016, Naturally, his Purpose World Tour merited his third transformation in as many months. Lest it get in his way, he slicked it back into a bun on the tour’s opening night in Seattle. April 2016, Yes, those are dreadlocks, and yes, Bieber wore them out in public-here at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, though regrettably on other occasions as well. May 2016, By the next month, the dreads were fully gone, though that didn’t stop Bieber from making a statement while on his trip to Monaco. It was during this month that he also got a teeny face tattoo. He experimented with platinum blonde, buns, and even dreadlocks, showcasing his willingness to take risks and push boundaries.
But in February 2017, the Biebs shaved his head again and went back to platinum blonde. August 2017, A little over a year later, Bieber shifted his attention to his facial hair. February 2018, The next year, his regrown hair didn’t exactly help him at the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game. Bieber began sporting a cut with closely shaved sides and super long top. He kept the shaved look for awhile, but started growing it out towards the end of 2016.

After marrying Hailey Baldwin, Bieber seemed to adopt a more mature and refined approach to his hair. August 2018, Look at those luscious locks go! August 2018 September 2018, The evidence of the haircut, though, was already gone by the next month. September 2018, While in Michigan that September-a whirlwind month for Bieber’s hair-he returned to the forehead-less days of his youth. October 2018, Yes, that bump under his hood is no doubt a bun or a ponytail, pulled up high on his head, Hailey Baldwin-style. October 2018, Less than a week later, Bieber took care of the bump, using his Instagram Story to share his buzz cut, which quickly earned him the nickname Buzztin. Even she (reportedly) “can’t stand” Bieber’s mustache, which unfortunately made a comeback. (Bieber even put it at the center of his “Intentions” art.) Hailey has yet to publicly condemn it, but according to People‘s mysterious source, that might be for the best: “The more people want him to shave it off, the more he wants to keep it. It’s staying for now. It’s making him feel like a rebel and he likes it!” Thankfully, Hailey has previously prevailed in getting him to shave it off. February 2020 Photo by Pierre Suu via Getty Images It was a big month for Bieber’s head. At least the Guy Fieri vibes (sort of) distract from the mustache. September 2020 Photo by Rachpoot/Mega via Getty Images And then, seemingly out of nowhere, Bieber’s hair looked healthier than it had in years. (Perhaps in an attempt to clean up for his mysterious meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron.) He often sported a clean-cut buzz cut, reflecting a sense of stability and maturity.
