“A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life.” Coco Chanel once said. Aside from a few makeup tricks and manicures, is the easiest way of making ourselves over, it’s the one part of our style. Capturing an entire attitude and adding character, hair can be our identity. Marilyn Monroe would not be Marilyn Monroe Without those white-blonde waves. It is not possible to separate Amy Winehouse from that beehive. We associate certain women with certain styles, the reason is they look fantastic and also their hair defined their entire personality.
Certain hairstyles are so ingrained into a film’s aura that it is near impossible to separate the two, like Lolita’s heart-shaped sunglasses. The moment in time a certain coiff captures – the epic imitators for generations and the cinematic thrill. It’s the hair that we remember the most, sometimes, in fact. In others, for an entire generation, they become icons. These hairstyles aren’t just edgy, pretty and at times boundary pushing – They have their own characters.
