Tip of the day: Get one of the most iconic Hollywood hairstyles of all time

Filed under: Hair Care, Style Tip of the Day

So we've all been slightly obsessed with a certain celebrities and their hairstyles from one time to another. Alright, all the time. And we're not the only ones. Let's take a peek at some of the most popular celebrity haircuts ever.

Jennifer Aniston: Okay so this lady has started quite a few trends – most obviously the "Rachel" but also soft, flowing waves a la her days with Brad Pitt, before he was stolen by Angie. Burn.

Gisele Bundchen: The hair that sent a million brands into a tizzy to make products that could reproduce those killer waves.

Louise Brooks: The bob that started it all.

Victoria Beckham: Queen of the Modern Bob. She's had it edgy with many piecy layers before and now it's sleek and demure.

Demi Moore: When girlfriend made her come back in Charlie's Angels, not only did her slammin' beach bod catch everyone's eye – so did her long, lush straight black hair. Ever since the debut and her marriage to sexy
Ashton Kutcher, brunettes seem to be having all the fun.

Nicole Richie: Side swooped bangs took flight when our favorite socialite did her fair share of debauchery, post makeover that is, with sidekick Paris Hilton.

Marilyn Monroe: Do we even need to explain it? The short, blonde, curls, ugghhh, so beautiful and soooo Marilyn Monroe...or Jean Harlow. Whoever.

Miley Cyrus: Have you ever seen as many teens with butt length hair as you do now? It's all thanks to Miley Cyrus.

Veronica Lake: Those oh so perfect waves that had men swooning and women wishing to emulate.

Madonna: That bleached, fried look was all the rage in the 80's thanks to the Material Girl's soaring popularity.

Clark Gable: That slick, side parted hair and those dapper eyes. Oh lord why don't men still take their look so seriously anymore?

Pamela Anderson: As much as we hate to admit it, white trash America became somewhat glamorous when Pam Anderson's bleach blonde locks came crashing onto the pages of Playboy.

Shirley Temple: Cascades of curls defined this adorable movie stars look in her glory days. Even seeing little girls now with the same hairdo will always make us smile.

Twiggy: Prior to Twiggy, women never dreamed of trying to look like 10 year old boys. Then they saw her adorable little pixie cut and things were never the same.

Carly Simon and Stevie Nicks: Long, somewhat scraggly hippie hair with bangs that we see on girls like MKO and Nicole Richie today was done first by songbirds Carly Simon and Stevie Nicks in the 70s.

Marlon Brando and James Dean: Bad boys never looked so good!
