“I wasn’t feeling really hot this summer”: Dylan Mulvaney reveals new bangs after hair transformation

Dylan Mulvaney changed hairstyles because she “turned ugly.” The social media personality and influencer revealed in a video shared on TikTok on August 17, 2025, that she cut off her locks and opted for brunette bangs because she was "not feeling really hot this summer."

Mulvaney, who began uploading videos about her daily life during the pandemic in 2020, urged fans in her recent TikTok upload to cut their hair into bangs:

"I haven't thought of myself as an influencer in a really long time, but I did just get bangs today. Couldn't recommend them more, I've never felt this cute before."

The TikTok star praised her new hairstyle by referencing the hit young adult Netflix series The Summer I Turned Pretty, saying she felt pretty again. Dylan Mulvaney also recommended that her followers try red lipstick for a fresh look:

"It's bought me three more summers of feeling pretty. I think a red lip helps too, so take that information as you will."

More details about TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney

Dylan Mulvaney began her career in the theatre and toured across North America as one of the principal cast members of the musical The Book of Mormon. When the pandemic came, Mulvaney switched to posting videos about her life as a queer person, and she grew her audience steadily from there.

In March 2022, she came out as a trans person and began the series Days of Girlhood. In a January 2023 video, Dylan Mulvaney talked about her facial feminization surgery, which included hairline advancement and a brow bone shave.

In March 2024, the TikTok star posted a picture of herself with Lady Gaga to commemorate International Women’s Day, and she received heavy backlash, causing the Mayhem crooner to speak out in her defense:

"I feel very protective in this moment, not only of Dylan, but of the trans community who continues to lead the way with their endless grace and inspiration in the face of constant degradation, intolerance, and physical, verbal, and mental violence."

Lady Gaga added:

"I hope all women will come together to honour us ALL for International Women's Day," the Grammy winner continued, "and may we do that always until THE DAY that all women are celebrated equally."
