If you've spent way too much time stalking Jessica Alba on Instagram this year, you're not alone. We've all drooled over the actress at one time or another, whether admiring her social media feed or searching for photos of her gorgeous hair on Pinterest. She's got a timeless look (no really - her 10-year glow up showed minimal signs of aging), and perfectly toes the line between classy and sexy. From her bold shag cut to her signature long balayage, the actress is a fashion icon we can all learn a thing or two from. Whether you are in search of a new haircut or hoping to spark some inspiration, you've come to the right place. We've compiled all the best Jessica Alba hair photos below.

Jessica Alba Hair - 10 Hairstyles, Cuts, and Colors

Shag Haircut

This adorable short shag is one of the most unexpected haircuts we've seen from Jessica Alba over the years. It perfectly accentuates her diamond face shape by drawing just enough attention to the jawline. The wispy layers and bangs make for a fun, flirty look.

Jessica Alba Dark Hair

From platinum blonde to rich mahogany, this actress can pull off any color, thanks to that gorgeous olive skin. This hue of deep brown looks elegant with her middle-part lob. Jessica Alba has medium-thick hair, but this short haircut works with thin to coarse hair, as well. To achieve more volume, add long layers to the haircut.

Lob with Curtain Bangs

One hair trend Jessica Alba is known for is balayage. This chocolate brown, auburn blend is perfect for the colder months of the year and is just enough contrast to bring a monochromatic brown to life. To achieve curls like hers, you'll want to use a large-barrel curling iron (anywhere from 1.25 to 1.75-inches) and alternate the direction that you curl in for each piece.

Jessica Alba Lob

Jessica Alba looks like a total bombshell with this ombre lob (when does she not, though?). We love this cut because it is perfect for ladies with all face shapes and hair types. It is long enough to style up or down but short enough to remain low maintenance and cut back on styling time.

Classic Curls

You don't have to walk the red carpet to pull off a do like this one. Whether you have a formal event or a girls' night out, this classic side style is elegant and easy to style. Simply curl hair with a 1.25-inch curling iron and pull to one side, using a comb to smooth any bumps. To finish off, use a light-weight hairspray.

Pro tip: avoid products that say "strong-hold" or "firm finish" - they will leave your hair crunchy and with no movement.

Jessica Alba Tousled Waves

Now, this is the iconic Jessica Alba look we all know and love. The soft beach waves and gorgeously-painted balayage are all a part of her signature style. This is the perfect look for low-maintenance women who do not like putting much time into their everyday style. When you have a high-quality balayage, it adds tons of dimension to your hair so you do not have to spend hours curling it.

Jessica Alba Signature Ombre Hair

Maybe it's her bronzed glow or her sun-kissed hair, but Jessica Alba looks totally angelic in this photo. Her slightly-curled, tousled ends add just a bit of movement to her sleek down-do - a perfect look for both day and night. We recommend this look for ladies with medium to coarse hair. Thin hair tends to fall flat when it is straight and parted down the middle.

Long Layers with Bangs

Adding bangs to your look is a great way to spice things up if you've gotten bored of your haircut. These soft, long bangs give Jessica Alba a completely different look than her signature middle part hairstyle. This is because bangs tend to make the face appear wider, which can provide balance for ladies with elongated faces. And while Jessica Alba was blessed with gorgeous hair and texture, she is likely wearing extensions in this photo to achieve those bouncy, voluminous curls.

Jessica Alba Choppy Short Bob

This Jessica Alba haircut is hands down our favorite one on this list. It's easy to maintain and style and its versatility makes it appropriate for any occasion. Jessica is rocking a slight balayage with lightened ends, which accentuates the dimension of her choppy layers. However, we love this women's hairstyle in any hair color.

Slicked Back Bun

Jessica Alba is not one to wear her hair up very often, but when she does, it looks glamorous. This slicked-back updo requires thick, long locks to achieve the samurai-esque bun. It is one of the most creative ways to style a bun that we've seen this year, and other celebs like Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid have been spotted rocking the same one.

What color is Jessica Alba's hair in 2019?

Jessica Alba is known for changing her hair color with the seasons, so what shade of brown (or blonde?) is she working with this winter? In her latest Instagram post, Jessica Alba was sporting what appeared to be a natural shade of caramel, styled down and straight. But, just a month prior, she was spotted wearing a sleek, chocolate-brown lob. Celebs can do a lot of things the rest of us can't, but growing hair overnight is not one of those. Jessica Alba likely rocks hair extensions from time to time to give her look versatility. Nobody likes to be tied to one look for too long, anyway. To keep up with Jessica Alba's hair, we recommend giving her a follow on Instagram, as well as bookmarking this article where we will share up-to-date photos of Jessica and her latest looks.

Androgynous haircuts and hairstyles can be worn on either men or women. They tend to toe the line between "feminine" and "masculine," often combining elements of popular haircuts and hairstyles like buzz cuts, pixies, Mohawks, fades, and bobs. Many androgynous haircuts require a lot of upkeep because they have shaved sides or designs that need maintained to look fresh. Other hairstyles, like a choppy bob, require little to no styling. So, what kind of androgynous haircuts and hairstyles are you interested in trying out in the New Year? Here's a look at the most popular ones.

20 of the Best Androgynous Haircuts for 2020

Buzzed Sides and Long Top

Posted on Instagram by @jasminvansheen

This is one of our favorite androgynous hairstyles because of its versatility. You can buzz the sides completely, or wear it as a fade haircut. We recommend the cut for those with medium to coarse hair. It looks especially killer if you have naturally curly hair like the photo. To style it, use a tiny bit of hair gel around the sides to ensure you don't have any pieces sticking up. Then, apply the same hair gel to the top, running it through the strands with your fingers. Use sparingly, though so the top does not look greasy.

Note: If you need help finding the right product, check out our recommendations for the Best Hair Gel.

Messy Pompadour

Posted on Instagram by @blood__and__honey, Styled by @ryliedoeshair

If you want to wear your hair short but still have some freedom in how you style it, this androgynous haircut is the way to go. You can play around with different hair colors on top to contrast the sides, as well as different textures. It looks just as great flat ironed and slicked back as it does with a perm or loose waves from a curling iron.

You can achieve the messy, piecey texture with the help of a hair wax. In fact, we've written an entire guide on the Top 10 Best Hair Wax options, as well as a guide on how to use them.

Shaved Side + Long Hair

Posted on Instagram by @vi_artistry_

Deciding between a buzz cut, a long pixie, and a mohawk? This look is the best of all three worlds, combining gorgeous elements from the most popular androgynous haircuts.

Note: Only try this haircut if you are prepared to go short all over. It is quite a bit of effort to maintain, since you have buzz or fade the sides frequently to keep it looking fresh. Once you decide it is not the right cut for you anymore, you'll have to chop off the longer section and even things out before you start to grow it back.

Soft Waves + Quiff

Posted on Instagram by @iamsamquinn

You can't go wrong with a simple, stylish short haircut like this one. It works for all hair types, but if you've got thin locks, we recommend fading the sides. Thin, long locks have the potential to look stringy and unhealthy. This is a super popular androgynous hairstyle because it also complements the majority of face shapes and structures.

Copper Pixie

Posted on Instagram by @therubypistol

If you're thinking about trying out a fun new hair color, we recommend going for a fiery shade of copper. It is one of the most fashionable hair colors of the season and looks sharp with any short hair cut. If you need a little inspiration when it comes to choosing a red hair color, check out our recent blog on the best auburn hair colors.

Platinum Bowl Cut with Shaved Sides

Posted on Instagram by @viiviikoch

How cool is this modern version of a bowl cut? The blunt edges are unexpected, giving this haircut a striking look. We especially love it with a bold hair color like platinum, silver, or vibrant red tones. Styling this androgynous haircut is a breeze, too. If you've got naturally straight hair, all you have to do is apply a small bit of hair wax and blow-dry. If not, simply flat iron or leave as your natural texture.

Layered Bob Haircut

Posted on Instagram by @stern_as

Shoulder-length haircuts are some of the easiest to maintain and style. You can slick back with hair gel for something a bit edgy, or wear straight for a more natural look. You can also through it up into a top knot or man bun - whatever you are feeling that day.

If you are looking to try something more daring than a layered bob, go for an unexpected undercut with a design. That way, you can show it off when you pull your hair up and hide it for a different look.

Platinum Pixie

Posted on Instagram by @kaitlyn_hubert

We've seen tons of celebs rock this androgynous look this year. From Zac Efron's platinum cut to Scarlett Johansson's more-honey-colored blonde, we're loving how diverse it can be. If you have thin hair, styling should consist of hair wax and texturizing dry shampoo to give you more volume. But, if you have thick locks, use a round brush on damp hair and lift strands up as you blow-dry. It can be difficult to achieve this much height regardless of your hair type, but a little teasing never hurt anybody.

Pink Choppy Pixie

Posted on Instagram by @hair_slayerz

If a mullet and a pixie cut had a baby, this androgynous style would be its offspring. It is perfectly-piecey with just enough length in the back to give off rocker vibes. You don't have to go full-blown cotton candy pink, but it certainly wouldn't hurt. Pro tip: This haircut looks best on people with oval, diamond, or heart face shapes.

Shaved Sides with Line Detail

Posted on Instagram by @l_tashina.official

Are you the artistic type? Going with an androgynous haircut like the one in this image allows you to get creative and combine your favorite aspects of multiple hairstyles. This one takes the length and cut of a mushroom cut on one side, as well as a shaved cut on the other. It also adds edgy design lines for an asymmetrical look.

Choppy Lob with Beanie

Posted on Instagram by @l.es_trange

For the person who hates styling their hair but still wants to rock longer locks, try this choppy lob. It's perfect for androgynous hair because it works with virtually all face shapes and hair types. You'll love how it requires minimal maintenance, goes with all kinds of outfits, and looks great when paired with a beanie.

French Crop

Posted on Instagram by @Centrometamorphosis

There is something so badass about the French Crop haircut. Not only was it one of the hottest trending short hair cuts in 2019, but it is the ideal androgynous haircut for both men and women. We love seeing it paired with a platinum blonde, it also looks great with a rich brown. This is one androgynous cut that looks best when it is all one color. The dimension of the cut is supposed to be focused on the bangs, not the color.

Long Top Short Sides Haircut

Posted on Instagram by @James_Beaumont

We've featured this image before in our post about the Coolest Haircuts For Men in 2019, but this stylish flow is not exclusive to the male gender by any means. We love this androgynous cut because it pairs just as well with a beard as it does with gorgeous curls. As long as you have thick, coarse locks, you can pull off this androgynous look.

Disconnected Undercut Fade

Posted by @James_beaumont on Instagram

James Beaumont is a hair legend, and we're thrilled to be able to share this androgynous look he created with all of you. It works for both men and women because it combines elements of a few different cuts. You've got a buzz cut fade underneath, alongside a disconnected mushroom cut. The androgynous cut appears to have a hard part, as well. It's a true work of art, but something like this would require a ton of maintenance.

High Skin Fade + Long Hair

Posted on Instagram by @dieselbarbershop

This androgynous style is for the bold and the thick-haired. It's a high-contract 'do that should only be attempted by a professional stylist or barber - trust us, there's a lot you could mess up here. The hairstyle in the image shows a high skin fade that leads into a section of long hair. It almost resembles an asymmetrical mohawk of sorts. But keep in mind, a cut like this will require you to get weekly (or bi-weekly) touchups on the side that is shaved or eventually turn it into a buzz cut.

Celebrities with Androgynous Haircuts

Cara Delevingne

Supermodel Cara Delevingne is recognized around the world for her androgynous look. She has some of the most stunning bone structure that is both masculine and beautiful at the same time. Her haircuts range from buzz cuts to pixie cuts, lobs, and everything in between, but one this is for sure: she is an inspiration for androgynous hairstyles.

Halle Berry

Actress Halle Berry is another celeb who is not afraid to play around with androgynous haircuts. Over the years, she has worn her hair long, in a pixie cut, and in a tousled mohawk. The pixie cut in this photo is purposefully-messy and beautifully androgynous, appropriate for both men and women.

Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson is known for her sexy, feminine appearance, but she is no stranger to testing the waters with androgynous haircuts. In fact, she is spotted wearing a pixie cut more often than not, but we can't blame her. With bone structure like hers, she would look just as glam with a buzz cut.

Kristen Stewart

It is no secret that Kristen Stewart is an androgynous icon. She is always sporting outfits that are inspired by menswear, whether it's an all-black suit, leather jacket, or backwards ball cap. Kristen's haircuts are no different, beautifully toeing the line between feminine and masculine. In this look, she's wearing a choppy short bob, which is one of our favorite androgynous haircuts, especially with a bleach blonde color.

Nicole Riche

Nicole Richie doesn't necessarily have an androgynous look, but this is one of the trendiest hairstyles for both men and women in 2020. We love it with a pop of color like this bubble gum pink.

Quick Guide To Androgynous Haircuts

Not everyone is familiar with androgynous haircuts and fashion. If you aren't sure what exactly it means to have an androgynous style, this quick guide will help give you the lowdown.

1. What does it mean to be androgynous?

Androgynous Toeing the line between beautiful and masculine. "boyish"

The word androgynous, as a description of someone's appearance or fashion sense, means to be both masculine and feminine. If someone has facial features that are a combination of strong and defined, as well as soft and feminine, they might be described as androgynous. For instance, a woman with "boyish" features, or a man that is a "pretty boy" may be considered to have an androgynous look.

However, there is much more to the term "androgynous" as it relates to gender identity.

1. What is a brush cut?

A brush cut is one of the most popular androgynous haircuts. It is a short haircut that basically looks like it's a grown-out version of a buzz cut because the strands are just long enough to start sticking outward.

1. How can I style my short hair?

There are tons of ways to style short haircuts. If you have a pixie cut, French crop, or mohawk, one of the best ways to style and add texture to your short hair is with a matte hair wax. Take a nickel-sized amount and run it through your hair with your fingers, tousling it until it appears purposefully-messy and texturized.

1. What is a long pixie cut?

Imagine the haircut between a pixie and a short bob. If you are growing your hair from a shorter cut to something a bit longer, you'll need to learn how to style a long pixie. We see this haircut most often on middle age and older women.

Scarlett Johansson is a hair icon, from her pixie cuts to sexy tousled bobs. Over the years, she has rocked every kind of style and has left plenty of inspiration for the rest of us to follow in her footsteps. Scarlett is known best for her voluminous, bouncy curls, whether she is wearing a cropped cut or a shoulder-length lob. She's got naturally thick hair, but her voluminous locks can be attributed to her celebrity stylist, as well as some expensive products. She is also known for changing her hair color quite often, rotating from a rich brunette and black to a fiery red and platinum blonde. We can't say we have a favorite because she does them all justice.

Whether you are looking to mimic her hot red hairstyle from the Avengers, or copy one of her gorgeous formal updos she's been spotted wearing on the red carpet, we've got all the best Scarlett Johansson short hair cuts and styles. We've also added some pro tips to help you replicate your favorite Scarlett Johansson hairstyles!

Scarlett Johannson Short Hair - Pixie Cuts

Brunette Pixie

This pixie cut has tons of playful, feathery layers that frame Scarlett's face rather well. This cut is perfect for ladies with diamond, oval, or heart shaped faces because it provides a bit of coverage around the forehead and slightly frames the sides of the face.

Styling Tip: She likely achieves her volume by apply mousse to damp hair and blow drying with a round brush. To get those piecey layers, it is recommended to use a large-barrel curling iron and finish off with a strong-hold hairspray.

Scarlett Johansson Short Red Hair

Scarlett's porcelain skin looks ravishing alongside this bold red hair color. In this look, she is wearing a purposefully-messy do, pulled back to accentuate her glowing makeup. Her hair is quite short here, so she doesn't have much to work with, but the ends are pinned to the back of her head to give her an elegant updo.

Styling Tip: If you're rocking a longer pixie or short bob, you can replicate this look by applying texturizing spray to dry hair and teasing at the crown. Pull your hair back, pinning the ends to the back of your head with bobby pins that match the color of your hair. Manipulate your locks with your fingers to give it a tousled look, and finish off with hairspray.

Blonde Side Swept Bangs

This is one of our absolute favorite haircuts from Scarlett Johansson. The long hair pixie is unique, flirty, and elegant all at the same time. The length also allows for some freedom when it comes to styling. As you'll see in the next couple of looks, she slicks this haircut back, as well as curls it and styles it with tons of volume. Oh, and fun fact - this is the look Scarlett wore to the MTV Movie Awards in 2015. Talk about a throwback.

Styling Tip: If you have a similar haircut to the one pictured, you can easily style your hair this way. Simply blow dry with a round brush and part your hair into a deep part. Then, flat iron in the direction you want the hair to lay. Finish off with some texturizing spray, and tousle with your fingers.

Short Slicked Back Hair

The slicked back look has been one of the most popular hair trends of 2019. We're loving this Scarlett Johansson haircut because it's extremely simple, yet bold and elegant. On a normal day, this short hair pixie can be styled with curls, flat ironed, or worn natural. But for more formal events, her slicked back pixie is perfect.

Scarlett Johansson Voluminous Blonde Pixie

If you're looking for hairstyles with a lot of height on top, this one is super stylish. It is perfect for women with rounder faces because the height of the hair will elongate your face and make it appear thinner. It's a great hassle-free do that will stay in place all evening, whether you are at a formal event or out on the town.

Short Hair Shaved Sides

This Scarlett Johansson hair short is great for someone looking to achieve an edgier style. The shaved sides are bold and scream confidence, but you do not have to be an Avengers movie star to pull it off. The great thing about hairstyles like these is that they work with all types of hair, from thin locks to thick, coarse hair.

Scarlett Johannson Short Hair - Bob Haircuts

Warm Blonde Bob

One of Scarlett's more feminine, simple looks is this tousled short bob. In fact, this cut is one of the most popular short haircuts for women of the year, and we do not see that changing in 2020. Its simplistic elegance, and ease of styling, makes it a go to for many women.

Scarlett Johansson's Slicked Back Bob

As you can tell, Scarlett can work slicked back hairstyles like no other. Styles like these work best for women with oval, round, or oblong face shapes - not so much for those with more square bone structure. This is because the blunt cut stops right around the chin, which draws attention and prominence to that area. If you already have square face (you are blessed, believe us), it may make the structure look harsh.

Scarlett Johansson's Blonde Lob

This is it - the most iconic look Scarlett has ever worn on a red carpet. Why is that? While we think we can all agree that she looks breathtaking regardless of the way her hair is styled, there is something timeless and sexy about this lob. It's a classic blonde bombshell look that all platinum-hair ladies strive for.

Strawberry Blonde Short Hair

This short bob takes us all the way back the 1920s. The bouncy curls, side pin, and red lip were definitely not invented in this generation, but we love how Scarlett can rock a throwback look just as well as she can something more modern.

Scarlett Johansson Curled Lob

You may not be able to tell here, but Scarlett is wearing some (most-likely clip-in) extensions. When you rock short hairstyles most of the time, it is a great idea to have some of these on hand for the times you want to experiment with something a bit longer.

Pin-Up Curls

We're loving this Marilyn Monroe-esque look that Scarlett rocked at a red carpet event. Her platinum blonde hairstyles are some of our favorites. This formal hairstyle can be accomplished with a large-barrel curling iron - or if you want to go old school - use a set of hair curlers.

Scarlett Johannson Short Hair - Updos

Milkmaid Braids

This can be one of the more complicated hairstyles to attempt at home, so if you are interested in replicating it, check out this quick YouTube tutorial.

Voluminous Updo

When you've got short hair, it can feel impossible to find an updo that works with your cut. However, this curled, voluptious look works perfectly for short hairstyles. All you have to do is curl the hair with a one-inch barrel, tease the top, and pin the ends up at the back of the head.

Messi, formally known as Lionel Andrés Messi Cuccittini, is not only a famous footballer from Argentina - he's a hair icon. He is an absolute legend on the field, winning the Golden Ball at the FIFA World Cup, Ballon d'Or awards, and European Golden Shoes. But enough of his athletic acheivements, let's move onto the important stuff - Messi's hair. Over the years, we've seen Messi go from a longer shag cut to a much cleaner taper fade. Oh, and we can't forget the one time he went platinum. And while we can't teach you to master the art of a drop kick, we can help you find the best Messi haircut to try for yourself. ¡Vamanos!

10 Best Messi Haircuts Of All Time

Short Pompadour

Messi bounces back and forth from clean-shaved to bearded, but this is one of the best hairstyles to go with if you are not going to have any facial hair. It is long enough to frame the face but short enough to look presentable. This Lionel Messi Haircut is a great option for men of all ages, too. We've seen guys pull of haircuts like these from fifteen years old to sixty years old.

Short Haircut with Fringe

This Lionel Messi haircut is the bridge between his "mullet" days and the more recent taper fades we have seen him with. He's wearing a thin layer of suture and a short haircut with fringe. This is one of the easiest Messi haircuts to style, so if you are looking for simple, low-maintenance hairstyles, go for this one.

 Blonde Quiff

Lionel Messi may not be rocking this cool hair color anymore, but it is still one of the best haircuts we've seen from him over the years. Messi normally sports his natural hair color, a dark chocolate brown on the field, but by the looks of this photo, the platinum tips gave him all sorts of good luck.

Taper Haircut

Messi doesn't go anywhere without his taper fade anymore. As he's gotten older, Messi has cleaned up his look with this sharp, classic haircut. His reddish beard blends into his taper fade, making even the manliest of facial hair appear more put-together.

Blonde Taper Haircut

Who says guys can't dye their hair? This may be our favorite Lionel Messi hairstyle. Messi is showing off all colors of the rainbow here, with white tips, brown roots, and a red beard. While this photo was taken a few years ago, the taper fade and beard is still one of the most popular haircuts for guys.

Mid Fade Haircut

After is platinum days, Messi went back to his natural hair color and has been wearing a version of this haircut every since. Here, he's got a mid fade and medium-length haircut with quite a bit of volume on top. Leo Messi was blessed with thick, coarse, and straight hair, meaning he can get away with not adding products to it or styling it.

Messy Bangs Haircut

This look from Leo Messi is a signature footballer haircut. You've got the short sides and long layers on top, finished off by the messy (pun-intended) curtain bangs. It's a cool haircut for athletes because it can be left un-styled and won't create distraction around the face. But, if you add a few products to the bangs, like hair wax and gel, you can get an easy, slicked-back look.

Straight Across Bangs

This longer Messi haircut is giving off serious mullet vibes, and we can't help but be thankful the footballer decided to move away from the straight-across bangs. But if you're looking for a throwback haircut, this Lionel Messi haircut will take people all the way back to 2011.

Taper Fade with Crew Cut

Messi's taper fade is a bit more prominent here than in other images, perhaps because it does not start until his temple area. We think this is the haircut Messi looks his best in, simply because it complements his face shape and bone structure the best. Pro tip: if you have a rounded face and would like to strengthen the look of your jawline, go for this haircut and beard combo. A well-shaped beard will frame the jaw and make it appear more square, while tall and tight haircuts will elongate the face and make it appear less round.

Short Sides Long Top Haircut

This is another classic Messi haircut, that's somewhere between a pompadour and a quiff. Both hairstyles require a bit more structure than Messi is working with in this image, but he could easily achieve them by styling them back, rather than leaving it spiked to the front.

Any hair type and face shape can pull off this Messi haircut because it does not require much volume or styling. If you have thin hair, it may be more difficult to achieve the spikes, but you can add some matte hair wax to thicken your strands and give them more support.

What Color Is Messi's Hair in 2019?

Have you picked out your favorite Lionel Messi hairstyle yet? Messi has a history of changing his hair color from time to time, so you may be wondering what shade of brown (or blonde) he's working with today. The latest Lionel Messi haircut we have seen resembles a his natural brown hair with a taper fade and beard.

Enough about Messi. Who's ready to check out his rival's hair?
