We’ve all been told a million times not to judge a book by its cover. Even if someone is incredibly beautiful, their looks will eventually fade, so personality is by far the most important thing. But it would be naive to assume that looks don’t mean anything in today’s society. So there’s nothing wrong with making some adjustments to your appearance that will help your inner beauty shine through.

Threads users have been proudly sharing before-and-after photos of their incredible glow-ups, so we’ve compiled a list of their stunning pics below. Enjoy scrolling through these amazing transformations, and be sure to upvote the people that you can tell are truly glowing from the inside out!

    Before-and-after image of a woman showing how much her style and haircut have changed

    Me and my Indigenous grandparents at my high school graduation.
    I was the first in my family to graduate high school, let alone university.
    They were so proud.
    My grandfather passed away a week later.
    Then me currently at 61, after just getting my septum pierced to honour him and my ancestors.
    I’m definitely more comfortable with who I am.
