Mila Kunis has stayed true to her roots during her two decade tenure in Hollywood — literally. When it comes to her hair, the brunette actress never jumped on-board the platinum bandwagon, or went through any kind of major hair-dye experimentation, for that matter. But that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t have a storied hair evolution, spanning from corkscrew ringlets to the blunt bob everyone’s still copying, plus every kind of side-bang in between. On the contrary, it’s a transformation for the ages.
In honor of the That ’70s Show star’s 36th birthday, we’re taking a quick stroll through all her best red carpet moments. Starting in 2002 and ending in 2019, we found 12 newsworthy hairstyles that Kunis has rocked in the past. From air-dried waves (complete with lavender eyeshadow) to the most-loved bob in Hollywood, start scrolling to see every iteration of the Mila Kunis cut.
Air-Dried Waves
Kunis was rocking the throwback look we all loved in 2002: pastel eyeshadow, soft, fluffy waves, and a few layers of lip gloss.

Glossy Ringlets
You probably didn’t know that, circa 2004, Kunis had very curly hair — or at least a very good mousse and diffuser attachment.

Side-Bangs
At 21, the star went through a very relatable side-bang phase.

Caramel Highlights
Kunis started experimenting with highlights around 2008. We adore this super subtle caramel-tinged lift from her chocolate-brunette base.

Face-Framing Layers
Here, the perfect gradual layers, shortest at the jawline and laddering smoothly down to the ends. C’est chic!

Punk-Rock Texture
By 2010 the style de jour was heavy black eyeliner paired with messy waves.

Extreme Side-Part
Long, glossy hair with a deep side-part is Kunis’ tried-and-true take on old Hollywood glamour.

Mid-Length Cut
This blunt, mid-length cut styled in a straight center-part screams ’70s revival.

Blunt Bob
Debuting a blunt bob in October of 2017, Kunis proved her angled bob worn pin-straight makes a polished accessory.

Wavy Bob
Kunis supported fellow actress Zoe Saldana at her ceremony getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2018 with a big smile and a long, wavy, oh-so-cool lob.

Baby Bangs
Kunis shocked everyone with fresh baby bangs at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards. Of course, we all later found out that they were the no-commitment, clip-on kind.

The Lob
This past spring, the Bad Moms actress stepped out with a longer lob haircut, which just may just be her Goldilocks length.
