The UK-based hair company Goody, recently commissioned a study of 3,000 women to discover the most-requested celebrity hairstyles of all time. Rose-Marie Jarvis, of Goody says, “It’s no secret that many women take inspiration from celebrities when it comes to their appearance. For women, hair is our most creative fashion accessory.” Here are the winners…
Jennifer Aniston‘s “Rachel” haircut – People are still willingly getting this haircut? Um. Wow. I know that when Friends was running between 1994 and 2003, it seemed like everyone had this style. The Daily Express reports that almost 11 million British women alone have tried out the layered look, which was originally created by stylist Chris McMillan.
Meg Ryan‘s choppy ‘do – from Meg’s Sleepless In Seattl /America’s sweetheart era, circa 2003. This is better than the Rachel, at least.
Dannii Minogue’s Sleek Bob – A bob is always classic. Looks nice on Dannii paired with blunt bangs.
Princess Diana’s Royal Do – wtf.
Victoria Beckham‘s Pob – OK, normalcy has returned. So many people copied this asymmetrical cut.
Farrah Fawcett’s Feathered Flip – Farrah had this Feathered look on lock. She was the best. But are people really still asking for this style?
Hmm. That’s a weird list. My number one would be Mia Farrow‘s Pixie. In 1968, Vidal Sassoon gave Mia Farrow this haircut for Rosemary’s Baby, and thousands of woman rushed to their hairstylist to copy the look. And they still search for images of Mia to copy this haircut.
My number two would be Blake Lively‘s Layered Locks. Blake Lively’s long, blonde Gossip Girl ‘do has become a cult sensation, with thousands of women begging their stylists to give them the look.
What celebrities would be on your list?
I did 2 of those hairstyles: victoria beckham and mia farrow. Currently growing out my hair for Blake Lively’s wavey, tousled hair. I’m such a follower!
I had the Meg Ryan (or, rather, Sally Hershberger) choppy flip in the mid 90s. It’s really quite versatile, and I had a lot of fun with it. I also had the Mia Farrow pixie. It was fun, but I didn’t like the upkeep. I’m growing my hair out right now, but I’d like to see shorter hair REALLY make a comeback.
I can see Princess Di’s hair being all the rage in the early 80s. And I WISH I had the hair for Blake Lively’s longer layers. It’s pixies for me from now on.
Chris: me too, regarding Blake Lively’s hair… But pixies are amazing too. 😉
woooooooooooooooow i oh so totally love mia farrow’s pixie. it is oh so totally cute. like oh so by!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
