The Most Iconic Hair Styles Ever!

by BR Kellie

Eyes may be the windows to the soul, but what happens on top of our head is truly our crowning glory. The way we cut and colour our hair (or not) is a we can can express ourselves, show the world who we are, give a glimpse into our inner thoughts, beliefs and emotions.

Yes, it's safe to say that at BRHQ we think a hair cut is not just a hair cut, it's a statement, and over the years some hair styles have become known as ultimate statement makers. As icons. So what are six of the most iconic hair looks of all time? 

Glamorous Curls

I never knew curls could be glamorous until I saw Cindy Crawford strutting her stuff supermodel-style. Her big, beautiful, lush long curls bouncing with every step were absolutely stunning.

Whatever the era, flowing waves have captured our imagination, with everyone from Brigitte Bardot to Farrah Fawcett to Blake Lively embracing the look. 

The Pixie

Halle Berry's pixie cut made me want to get a pixie cut. Except I'm not Halle Berry. Nor am I Winona Ryder or Audrey Hepburn. I also don't have the face to carry it off.

With its short, choppy layers that are cropped close to your head, the pixie cut is perfect for those who want to enchance their facial features while rocking a look that screams confidence. 

The Bob

Whether it's a blunt cut or layered, or even features a little asymmetry, the bob hair cut never goes out of fashion. It's the go-to style for a woman who wants to go short, but isn't willing to go pixie. It's fresh, it's fun, it's also sultry and sophisticated. It's anything you want it to be.

The Beehive

No one wears the beehive in this day and age, right? Wrong. A quick google showed that in recent years modern day icons like Beyoncé, Adele and Rihanna have stepped out with this iconic 'do. 

With its sky high teased style, it can look polished and pretty or, with a few loose strands to frame the face, casual and carefree. 

The French Twist

Looking for an easy but elegant hair do? You can't go past the French Twist. With a simple twist of the hair and a few pins to secure your locks, you've got a hairstyle that can be worn in the office, at a fancy function or to a wedding. It's a classic, and that's why to this day it's still seen on celebrities, on brides, and on people who want an effortless way to elevate their look.
