Spring cleaning in 2018 may not mean dusting the stairs in your flat 40 times or changing 362 light bulbs like it did in the 19th century, but the tradition of starting fresh in March still stands. Like clockwork, people declutter their kitchen, donate old clothes, pot some plants, ditch their cuffing season partner, and — without fail — cut their hair.
Just take Selena Gomez, for example, or Natalie Portman or Rowan Blanchard — all of whom have been doing their own spring updates by lobbing off a few inches for the new season. So to get you in the spirit, and because it is infinitely more fun to book a hair appointment than whip out the trash bags and Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, we've rounded up our favourite celebrity pixies, fringes, blunt bobs, and lobs, ahead.
We'll continue to update this story as more celebs inevitably hit the salon in the coming weeks.

The only thing more perplexing than the impending plot line of Big Little Lies 2 may just be the makeover that left one of the show's stars nearly unrecognisable. Exhibit A: Shailene Woodley, last night, with jet-black hair and a thick fringe. The jury's still out on whether this is a wig or something more permanent... or whether it's related to a role at all.
Not completely unlike the crop she had in Fox's television special Grease: Live, Vanessa Hudgens' latest cut makes her look like an old-school Hollywood movie star. The salon responsible for the French-inspired style later wrote on Instagram, "Blunt bob it is. Slight angle to hug the cheek and voilà..."
Let's be blunt: Selena Gomez has been around the hairstyle block — making pitstops at platinum, brunette, a fringe, and beyond — but does it get any better than her latest chin-grazing bob?

Natalie Portman will do just about any haircut for a role, but we think this latest dark, slicked-back pixie — presumably for her upcoming movie, Vox Lux — may be her most badass yet.

But with the feathery chop comes an even stronger message: "Very interested in cutting my hair and fixing on my appearance during the 'revolution' as a survival way of temporarily fulfilling, focused distraction- girls/women/nb people exercising whatever autonomy over own bodies we have left- whatever that means," Blanchard wrote in the Instagram caption.
With a lighter blonde colour and choppy, textured ends, Ashley Benson's fresh new style is hitting all the right notes this spring.
