Emma Watson Makes Transitioning To Long Hair Look So Chic

English actor Emma Watson has truly come into her own fashion-wise over the past several years. After rising to fame for portraying Hermione Granger in the "Harry Potter" film adaptations, Watson continued acting and modeling in different projects — experimenting with her looks all the while. Emma Watson's stunning style transformation has seen her embrace a variety of hairstyles, from stylish pixie cuts to shoulder-grazing layers. Now, the star has debuted a new look; Watson was seen rocking soft curls that cascaded down her back while attending an event hosted by The Royal Foundation's United for Wildlife, during London Climate Action Week in June 2026.

Prior to this new look, Watson had been spotted with shoulder-length brown hair that subtly integrated lighter tones. While Watson has played with the length of her hair quite a bit over the years, seeing the actor allow her brunette locks to grow back is a refreshing change. The "Little Women" star has certainly proved that she suits any hairstyle, but we can't deny that her long hair is one of our favorites. Watson values simplicity in her day-to-day style — something this new look fully encompasses. Her long curls are a classic look that will never be off-trend.

With all of the experimenting Emma Watson does with her hair, it is no surprise that she has a strong haircare routine. Watson's transition from medium to long hair, while incredibly chic, also requires a lot of work to achieve. Healthy, long layered hairstyles can freshen up your look, so it may be wise to take a few tips from the stunning brunette, whose hair is definitely gorgeous. In a 2016 interview with Into The Gloss, Watson broke down her full beauty routine product-by-product. 

The "Harry Potter" alum explained to the outlet that haircare is the "hardest thing" for her, stating that she needs to use the Maria Nila Sheer Silver Shampoo, Conditioner, and Masque to remove the natural brassiness from her hair. But, to promote the health of her hair, Watson loves to use oils. Her go-tos include the Grapefruit Hair Remedy from Alchemy, the Acure Organic Argan Oil, and standard, no-frills coconut oil. By taking a page out of Watson's book and integrating coconut oil into your beauty routine, you can strengthen your hair and encourage growth.
