Hairstyles Female Celebrities

If you're on the lookout for trendy hairstyles female celebrities are a great source of inspiration. Just as they're the first to start the major fashion crazes that take the world by storm, they also create manic frenzies with new hairdos.

Which celebrity trend is right for you?

From thick hair styles with bangs to wild colors to heavy layers, hairstyle trends enjoy fleeting periods of popularity before being shunted aside for the next big thing. It's thanks to celebrities that these styles spend some time on the pages of major entertainment and fashion magazines. Even more telling of a celebrity's power, though, is the status a hairstyle can achieve amongst the general public. A great example is Jennifer Aniston's now infamous "Rachel" haircut.

Many celebrity hairstyles go on to become iconic classics, such as Farrah Fawcett's feathered wings of the 1970s. Others, like Natalie Portman's completely shorn head, make temporary waves and inspire a slew of copycat styles. The popularity of hair extensions is another strong example of the influence celebrities hold on the public's style choices. Paris Hilton's hair is often seen close-cropped and choppy one day, and long and lustrous the next!

The list of popular celebrity hair styles practically endless. A traipse back in time finds numerous trends associated with each decade. Some of the hairstyles and fashions have been resurrected years later, while others have stayed firmly where they belong in the annals of style history. Here's just a taste of the styles that have made their mark.

• The "Rachel" influenced women all over the country to visit their local hair salon and get their hair cut into well-placed layers galore. Today the look is less exaggerated and more relaxed.

• Beyonce's long, vivacious waves are enviable – and more importantly, achievable for the everyday woman. A set of hot rollers can bring new life to flat hair.
• Farrah's feathers were the epitome of the ultimate soft, sexy hairdo. Still relevant today, this look suits a variety of hair lengths and can easily transform a look into something much more feminine.
• No one rocked the short hair like Halle Berry. Chic and sporty, yet somehow elegant and glamorous at the same time, her simple style turned heads on the red carpet. This timeless hairdo will never go out of style, though it won't suit all face shapes.
• Actresses like Sandra Bullock and Maggie Grace have shown that the classic bob will never go out of style. An updated take on the look, in the form of face-framing layers or a zigzag part, keeps it fresh.
• Victoria Beckham's short, asymmetrical cut is undeniably hot. Literally on the cutting edge of fashion, this look requires some confidence to pull off. It's surprisingly versatile: The styling options can range from soft and sweet to sharp and edgy.
• Rihanna has proven that long to short hair makeovers are possible to achieve with success. Her ultra-short bob is a striking change from her long locks, and it's received plenty of media attention.

Of course, celebrity trends come and go. That includes the hairstyles female celebrities bring into the spotlight. Even the hottest, most newsworthy hairstyles aren't always appropriate for everyday life, though. Consider these points before you drastically change your hairstyle:

• What's your hair type? Whether your favorite celebrity is currently sporting a wispy style, an extremely short cut or a head full of bouncy curls, you'll want to make sure that the style will suit your hair. Very fine, thin hair, for example, wouldn't support buoyant curls very well on a daily basis.
• What's your face shape? Your favorite celebrity may have a heart-shaped face that makes her perky hairdo look just perfect. If your own face's shape is something completely different, the style might not be as you'd envisioned it.
• Is the look high maintenance? If the look you love requires plenty of time, patience and energy, it may not be the right look for your everyday life. Remember, celebrities have access to teams of stylists and colorists. The magic the professionals can work with their tools is vastly different from what can be done at home.
• Is it practical? If you can't envision wearing the style just as comfortably to the office as to the club with your girlfriends and dinner with your significant other, then you might want to think twice.

The bottom line is this: Make sure the style looks as great on you as it does on the celebrity you admire! Take into account your face shape and the type and condition of your hair. Remember, what works for some simply won't work for others, but consulting with your stylist will ensure that the end result is a style success worthy of your own spotlight.
