Celebrities are the modern day gods and heroes, and their fashion styles are carefully scrutinised and copied by millions all over the world. If it looks good on them, then the hope is that we will look as good as they do, if we copy their hair, their make-up, and their clothes. Of course, we can't look so good without their team of professional make-up artists, stylists and photographers but even if just a little bit rubs off on us, we'll be happy!
And there are some good reasons to copy the celebrity hairstyles. For a start, they can afford some of the best beauty professionals in the industry. This means they are usually at the front of the fashion trends.
Do you know whose hairstyle of the 70's has been the most emulated celebrity hairstyle? Farrah Fawcett Major, the American actress who starred in the series 'Charlie's Angels'. Her blond, rough cut, layered and feathered, flicked style was copied by young women everywhere.
And do you know whose celebrity hairstyle of the 80's was the most popular? Meg Ryan, whose tousled, layered hair that accentuated her natural wave made hairstylists wonder if there were any other requests for a style than 'the Meg Ryan Cut'.
And whose celebrity hairstyles have been the most popular during the last couple of years? Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lopez would have to be up there, although some say that Jessica Simpson locks could be added to the list.
What about the men? The male celebrity hairstyles are also carefully watched by the hairstyle experts. Ashton Kutcher's tousled textured hair is quickly gaining in popularity with Matthew Fox, Adrien Brody, and Johnny Depp styles getting a look- in.
It just goes to show that fashion is always changing, even month by month. To really be on the cutting edge, so to speak, you need to be constantly checking web-sites dedicated to celebrity hairstyles to get a clear idea of who is wearing the 'in' thing. And they don't all agree with each other, so do some research and compare notes.
If you look at the changing 'in' styles over just the last year, you'll get some idea of how quickly fashion changes. Take color for instance: During winter the soft, rich brown tones were popular with platinum white/blonde color tones not 'in'. This all changed during summer to ash and platinum blondes being 'in' with dark brown and red on the outer. And style; the old school glamour styles of summer were replaced with flicked back curls during autumn, and solid bangs and headbands for winter. Yes, you certainly need to keep an eye on hairstyle fashion if you want to look like a celebrity!
However, remember that you don't have a celebrity hairstyle team on hand so make sure you choose a hairstyle that you can keep looking good all day. Not only should you like the look of it, it should suit you too. Some styles may look great on a celebrity but be totally wrong for your shaped face and hair type. It's best to make a collection of celebrity hairstyles you like and then ask your hairstylist which one would be the best for you.
SUMMARY
Celebrities can afford the best hairstylists and often wear the latest trends making fashion statements that others want to follow. But fashion changes quickly. How do you keep up with celebrity hairstyle trends?
