But there has been one constant.
Here’s a ranking of Olivia Benson’s “SVU” haircuts, from best to worst.
Olivia is shocked when she first sees Elliot, and he’s rightfully apologetic for the way he left.
Second Best: Season 14
OK, seriously, can we talk about these perfectly tousled waves?
They look so effortless and a bit less styled than in Season 22.
Olivia is still a detective in Season 14, partnered with Nick Amaro.
This wavy look with a side part really flatters her face shape.
Third Best: Season 16
Season 16 is a pretty significant one for Olivia Benson.
Olivia’s haircut this season is ideal for jumping into her new role.
She is basically the epitome of a badass single mom in Season 16.
It’s a hectic season for her, but Olivia’s perfect hairdo never suffers.
Olivia Bensonworksthe long bob with a side bang like no other (we’d expect nothing less).
You get the idea.
Season 7 contains one of the most memorable, unique episodes of “SVU.”
“You know that moment.
I look up and [my breath caught].
My hair was so cute and then all of a sudden, he did the one irrevocable cut.
I went, ‘Oh!
and he said, ‘What?
Honey, you’re gorgeous.’
He cuts it and then he leaves,” Hargitay recounted (viaHuffPost).
“I’m calling the producer at 10:30, [crying], ‘I just got a haircut.
I don’t think it looks good!’
When they saw dailies [at work], they weren’t happy.”
