100 most iconic hairstyles

Hair! So many inspirations (or should i say - hairspiratinon! ey? ey? no? okay, moving on). I saw an article on this in a magazine and there really are so many iconic hairstyles! I mean, there are hairstyles named after the celebs who rocked them and i think one of the most notorious would be 'The Rachel'. How many of us will recognise the style Rachel Green graced our screens with and still does. Even though she hated it, there were so many copycat styles and i think you could say that Jennifer Aniston's hair is still one of the most coveted in Hollywood. It's so classic and that is what makes it so achievable. If i could pull off her sleek, golden blonde tresses, i so would.

Fortunately, there are also dark haired styles which look amazing. Audrey Hepburn's hair in 'Breakfast At Tiffany's' has been one of the most iconic looks of all time. Not only does it emit timeless elegance but it also serves as an example of the 1950s hair trend - 'The Pixie Crop'. And we all know, that trend has definitely made a comeback - Emma Watson made front covers with her sleek new haircut which created a wave of copycats.

Amy Winehouse is also an icon when it comes to hair - 'The Beehive' has been imitated by everyone, everywhere. Winehouse's individual hairstyle paired with her signature eyeliner flicks created an incredibly distinctive look. The beehive is so simple to recreate - most people think you need to backcomb your hair large amounts, that is a myth - you really don't. Backcombing is bad for your hair anyway but doing it carelessly and randomly causes further damage. All you need to do it create a section where you want to backcomb your hair so the most common area would be the crown. Grab the hair and then section it into two - so top and bottom. Hold the top section at an angle and backcomb it in strokes - i cannot stress this enough, don't brush it backwards but use your comb/brush to stroke it gently. Repeat with the bottom part of your hair. Spritz it lightly with hairspray - if you spray it all over, the hair will become too heavy to stay which will cause it to collapse. Then use your fingers to put it into place, it doesn't need to be perfect but if you do want a smooth look, just use your comb/brush to just go over the top of your hair to tuck away any strays. Use grips to put hair into place. Done! Now you can enjoy your own iconic hair.
