Top 5 Hairstyles

5. The Lady Godiva, also known as the Rapunzel

There is something to be said for letting it just grow, baby. Long, looong hair evokes a spirit of freedom, of rebellion, or, in some cases, of extreme religious upbringing. Lady Godiva reportedly rode through the streets dressed only in her long locks (try not to shudder at the unsanitary implications of riding a horse bareback and NAKED). Rapunzel Rapunzel let down her long hair and snagged her prince. Crystal Gayle grew her hair to three inches above the floor…because she could. In modern times, super-long hair is not as super-long. Five or six inches below the shoulder is considered plenty long.
4. The Ponytail

When that long hair gets too unruly, pull it back into the versatile and understated ponytail. The most casual and at the same time so easy to dress up, the ponytail will work for anybody with hair long enough to collect,
gather, and fasten into one place on your head. Also, it’s one of the first hairstyles a girl learns to do herself, so it’s easy to do. It can be polished, messy, half up/half down, with bangs, without bangs, with long hair and with not-so-long hair.
3. The Boy Cut

With the right face shape, the right cut, and the right attitude, this can be one of the most striking hairstyles on a woman. Pretty much the polar opposite of the Lady Godiva (actually, the most extreme boy cut – The GI Jane or the Sinead is the polar opposite of the Lady Godiva), the Boy Cut is just what it sounds like. It can also be called a Pixie Cut, it’s when the hair is short short short all over. It can have a side part or no part at all. It can be the best looking hairdo or the worst looking hair nightmare. It all hinges on the three things listed above.
2. The Shag (aka the Farrah Fawcett…aka The Rachel)

Yep. You read that heading correctly. The famous Farrah Fawcett loopy, back-combed, teased and heavily hair-sprayed coif has the same humble beginnings as another “I need to have hair just like this celebrity” phenomenon. Known as “The Rachel”, the hairdo Jennifer Aniston sported in the second and third seasons of Friends hit the world like a tidal wave, just like “The Farrah” did in the seventies. This root hairstyle is The Shag. The Shag is a mid-length or short cut that has the intent of looking messy, with many different layers to create a textured look.
1. The Bob

You can’t go wrong with a hairstyle inspired by Joan of Arc. This style was created in 1909 Paris by famous hairstylist Antoine, but didn’t become popular until the early 1920’s. The bobbing of a woman’s hair was quite controversial, and F. Scott Fitzgerald even went so far as to satirize the hubbub in “Bernice Bobs Her Hair”. Fast forward to the 1960’s and a fella by the name of Vidal Sassoon will bring the bob hairstyle back into the forefront. It’s a style that’s been around a long time, and a style that is here to stay. Variations on the theme do exist, as in the “Pob”, the asymmetrical bob sported by the artist formerly (and again recently) known as Posh Spice, but the basic bob is the hairstyle that works for the most face shapes and the most types of hair.
