Forget Thousand Dollar Celebrity Haircuts, Dakota Johnson Is Out There Cutting Her Own Bangs

by

When you think about the perks of being famous, a team of stylists – a ‘glam squad’ – is definitely one of the most enviable things. These pros help celebrities like Dakota Johnson always look amazing, handling everything from hair to makeup. While it usually costs a lot to maintain that level of polish, Dakota recently shared that she’s been cutting her own bangs, which is surprisingly down-to-earth and I really admire that!

What Did Dakota Johnson Say About Cutting Her Own Bangs?

It’s likely some celebrities enjoy doing everyday tasks themselves, even though they could easily hire professionals. But I’ve always been told cutting your own bangs is tricky – it’s best left to experts, otherwise you risk a disastrous, uneven haircut that looks… well, a bit wild.

I was definitely surprised to learn that Dakota Johnson, who recently appeared on the cover of Vogue Germany, shared her enjoyment of both getting and giving haircuts. (It’s early Friday morning – bear with me!) Known for her daring and sheer fashion choices, it’s not too shocking she’s been experimenting with her hair, especially since she’s been cutting her own bangs for years. Here’s what she had to say:

I’ve been rocking bangs pretty much my whole life! I actually cut them myself, and honestly, I’ve kept the same style since I was a kid, except for a little phase between ages 10 and 14. Bangs just… feel like me. I don’t feel quite right without them.

It makes sense that someone would be really skilled at something if they’d practiced it for over twenty years, right? Plus, it’s pretty smart to stick with a simple, classic hairstyle. That likely frees up time to focus on other things, like fashion. And we’re all benefiting from that! The star of Madame Web has given us some incredible red carpet looks, including a glamorous chainmail gown, a striking electric blue sheer dress, and a dazzling, all-over sequined party dress.

Now that she’s single, the actress—who spent time with Tom Brady this summer—often cuts her own bangs. However, for major events, she typically relies on professional stylists like Mark Townsend or George Northwood to do her hair. Johnson also mentioned:

I always travel with scissors and love to drink a martini while trimming my own bangs.

Ms. Johnson certainly isn’t afraid to break the rules, is she? Naturally, the interviewer then asked the obvious question: has that approach ever backfired? And the person being interviewed responded with a telling:

Oh yes. Not every time, but yes.

I’m so happy for her and excited to see what amazing outfits she puts together next, especially with her new bangs and signature sheer style!
