If Hollywood was to crown the queen of lobs, bobs and the shiniest blonde strands in the biz, Lauren Conrad would certainly take the crown. From tumbling girl-next-door curls to picture-perfect red carpet updos, the The Hills actress is most definitely a trendsetter.

Remember when she got her hair cut to her shoulders by celebrity hairstylist, Kirstin Ess, (before we even called lobs, lobs), and EVERYONE was copying her look? Well, the obsession didn't stop there. If Lauren reaches for the scissors, we reach for the scissors!

So, as she turns 32, what better way to celebrate than reminiscing on her best hair looks ever?! Happy Birthday, Lauren!

A couple of months after welcoming her first child, Liam James Tell, Lauren stepped out with a much shorter haircut. In an interview with People, she explained the reason why she went short was practicality: "Honestly, it’s more of a time saver. I have to blow dry my hair while my son is napping and it doesn’t always last that long so less hair is less time." #newmumlyf

For a polo event in LA, Lauren showed off much darker brows and roots, with her ash blonde strands were tied in a low pony. We liked seeing Lauren taking a risk with her beauty looks - major thumbs up!

For SS17 fashion week, Lauren chose her classic look: relaxed waves, winged eyeliner and a nude lip.

For the 2016 CFDA Fashion Awards, Lauren switched her wavy 'do for a edgy low-bun. The chignon had a relaxed vibe to it with loose strands all around and lots of texture. Also, what a gorgeous plum-hued pout!

For her book signing back in 2016, Lauren arrived with a side-parted 'do that looked SO chic! The soft waves complemented her natural makeup and winged eyeliner; a winning look every time.

In 2016, Lauren ditched the short haircut for a longer 'do, her roots were darker than usual and it's more sultry than her signature look.

At the 2015 Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic we got to see Lauren's lob styled with classic Hollywood waves. This is a super romantic everyday look that can be amped up with a smoky eye for a night out.

In 2015 Lauren chopped her hair and stepped out with a very short and messy bob, looking like a rock chick.

In 2014 Lauren was sporting very long strands - and her colour was almost platinum blonde. Her darker roots always make for a more edgy look.

Back in 2014, Lauren sported a much blonder hue. Still, she stuck to the style that she does best: Cali beach curls with more than a hint of LA gloss.

Another retro look at the end of 2013, Lauren supersizes her topknot and takes her feline flick to new heights.
Rex Features
Lauren styles out a slinky black collar dress and a glossy pink pout with a mass of heavy curls. One thing's for sure, this girl has a knack with the curling iron.

Rex Features
Lustrous, silk smoothy waves, held in place with an antique jewel clip, make for one siren-esque appearance at the end of 2012. It just keeps getting better.
Rex Features
The quintessential top knot - LC makes the transition from reality TV star to bona fide fashion star look like a walk in the park, so to speak. This is a sleek style to sport from day to night, as LC expertly demonstrates. Don't forget the red lipstick!
Rex Features
A full, low-level bun gets a soft focus finish in the form of two generous strands framing the entire look around her face.
Rex Features
It's November 2011 and the beachy waves of old are back, but this time they look ever so slightly more chic, ever so slightly more expensive.

Rex Features
A year on, Lauren's dark locks get an icy blonde injection at the tips. Add a berry pout à la Lauren and you have the perfect look for the red carpet or a special night out with a man friend.
Rex Features
This undone plaited style, which sits just at the nape of the neck, would be the perfect wedding 'do. A sprinkling of sparkle is a genius touch. Thanks for the tip, LC.
Rex Features
Possibly one of our favourite ever looks from LC. A slighter shorter version of her previous style, this two-tone look with tonged front indicates Lauren is growing up and really finding her hair groove.
Rex Features
It's Laguna Beach meets high maintenance footballer's wife waves, with seriously blonde tips. The perfect look for a girl who calls LA her home.

Rex Features
At the start of 2010, it's all about the beautiful blow-dry, styled into a healthy looking ponytail.
Rex Features
Taking her style to a whole new level in October 2009, LC gives off a forties vibe, thanks to her neatly pinned hairstyle and bombshell red lipstick.
Rex Features
A poker-straight pony is the order of the day in October 2009. This style says 'I take my grooming seriously'.
Rex Features
A retro updo, complete with flicks of liquid liner and a frosted lip, is a great throwback style in 2009.

Rex Features
But just a few days later, Lauren shows off a wavy long-length bob with lighter blonde highlights. A slick of glossy lipstick is the icing on the cake.
Rex Features
In December '08, a delicate bow adds some festive magic to her full, high-shine waves.
Rex Features
When the red carpet calls in 2008, Lauren goes for a lighter look to complement her plunging white gown. The lighter shade adds extra warmth to her sunkissed skin.
Rex Features
Working more of a beachy vibe in 2008 (but still with an expensive sheen), this is a soft and sexy look for the star.

Rex Features
Getting her party curls on in 2007, Lauren's locks were made for tumbling, teased-to-perfection waves.
Rex Features
But just one year on, Lauren's mane was even glossier. Another upside of fame? An on-hand hairdresser to tend to your every tress need. We love this retro-style look with added volume on LC.

When this photo was taken in August 2006, we'd only known the cast of The Hills for a mere three months - but we were already hooked. Even back then, Lauren was the epitome of the cute Cali girl next door - perfect teeth and, of course, tumbling blonde locks to boot.
