With 2019 inching its way into the periphery, the early itch for a New Year, New Me makeover is a tangible one. But why wait the requisite month to transform your look? One scroll through recent above-the-neck overhauls on Instagram bears witness to a parade of celebrity It-girls showing off dramatic chops that make picking up the shears seem like a undertaking best embraced with gusto.

Idiosyncratic details define the season s most head-turning snips: think Sofia Boutella s golden micro-bangs, which fall well above her power brows, or [Amandla Stenberg s closely cropped curls. And for fans of voluminous texture, Laura Harrier s larger than life long bob is the answer for those looking to shake things up. Here, nine mid-holiday haircuts worthy of breaking out the champagne.
