Dakota Johnson’s beauty secrets are a masterclass in effortless chic—and her approach to haircare is no exception. But here’s where it gets controversial: she cuts her own bangs. Yes, you read that right. The boho queen, who graced the cover of Vogue Germany, has been rocking her signature fringe since childhood, and she’s not afraid to take matters—or scissors—into her own hands. “I’ve had bangs since I was a child,” she revealed. “I cut them myself.” Little did she know, this DIY habit would become a defining part of her look. Apart from a brief rebellion between the ages of 10 and 14, Johnson has stuck to her trusty bangs, admitting, “I just feel like myself with them.”
But maintaining that perfect fringe isn’t without its challenges. And this is the part most people miss: she travels with scissors and trims her bangs while sipping martinis. Yes, it’s as adventurous as it sounds. When asked if this risky ritual has ever backfired, she laughs, “Oh yes. Not every time, but yes.” It’s a relatable struggle for anyone who’s ever attempted at-home haircuts, but Johnson’s fearless approach is undeniably inspiring.
Beyond her bangs, Johnson’s hair is the epitome of health and shine. Her secret? Simplicity. “I eat very healthily, drink lots of water, and don’t do too much to my hair,” she explains. However, she does swear by one product: hair serum. Her favorite? Crown Affair’s Calming Scalp Serum, which she credits for keeping her locks luscious. But here’s a thought-provoking question: is her glowing hair purely genetics, or is it the result of her holistic lifestyle? Let’s discuss in the comments.
When it comes to styling, Johnson keeps it low-key. “I don’t use any styling products and let my hair air dry,” she says. But for red carpet events, she trusts the pros—hair stylists Mark Townsend and George Northwood—to work their magic. It’s a balance of DIY daring and professional polish that makes her look so effortlessly cool.
So, what’s your take? Would you ever cut your own bangs? Or do you think Johnson’s martini-fueled trims are a recipe for disaster? Let us know in the comments below—we’re all ears!
