Celebrities are constantly reinventing themselves. Fresh, new looks are essential to keep their adoring public from becoming bored with them and moving on to the next new thing.

Here, we take a look at some of the enduring celebrity hairstyles that have inspired us ordinary folk into chopping and changing our hair. 

The easiest style to maintain is the rough-and-tumble, short and scruffy. Trail-blazers in this style were Audrey Hepburn and Mia Farrow. Today, it is still popular among celebrities Carrey Mulligan, with her long pixie, Michelle Williams, and numerous incarnations of the school-boy ‘80s crop made popular by Princess Diana. Emma Watson has modernized the look in her break away from Hermione Granger. 

The timeless short bob of the ‘20s flapper look, worn by Louise Brooks has never gone out of style. Audrey Taunton and Erin O’Connor have recaptured the look and made it their own.

Speaking of sleek bobs with strong bangs, Jessie J, Anna Wintour (editor of Vogue), Taylor Swift and Zooey Deschanel keep the style current. For ultra-long, vision-impairing bangs, seek inspiration from rock chick, Chrissie Hynde.

Balayage or Ombre is acoloring technique rather than a specific cut or style. This is a free-style method of applying color by hand rather than using more traditional foils or caps. The most popular color treatment requested today, it adds depth and dimension while adding weeks to the re-touching interval, making it more economical than conventional highlighting methods.This style has been rocked by Hilary Duff, Drew Barrymore, Sara-Jessica Parker, and Selena Gomez

Shoulder-length blow-dry: Kate Windsor (ill-defined part), Olivia Palermo (shiny, midi-waves), Adele (perfectly-coiffed), Angelina Jolie, Cindy Crawford.

Boho Waves are a slightly, but only just, more structured version of the freestyle blow-dry. The term applies to a return to the carefree hippie look, accented by the occasional braid or twist. Sienna Miller and Nicole Richie may often by spotted wearing this look.

Also making a return is the super symmetrical Betty Grable look, re-popularized by Katy Perry and Dita Von Teese. Voluminous curls will never go out of style, as we can see by Julia Roberts, Beyoncé and Sara Jessica Parker. One of the new hair fashions emerging are hair-raising accessories as per Lady Gaga’s hair bow. These cheeky add-ons are actually fashioned from hair and look as if natural hair has actually been fashioned into the shape.
