20 People Who Took the Hair Plunge and Got a Crowning Masterpiece

Our hair is like a blank canvas that we can style or shape in order to express ourselves. We can bring new life into our tresses with a simple trim or dye, or we can go all out and shave it or color it with multiple shades. But experimenting with our hair from time to time is one way to step out of our comfort zone and keep our looks interesting.

Now I’ve Seen Everything rounded up 20 photos of individuals who took risks with their strands and ended up with incredible results.
