Hairstyles of the Rich and Famous do not only serve to be their identity signatures. These may also signal cultural shifts and trends. A celebritys hairstyle is a statement to the world. And when that hairstyle is copied and becomes popular, it just might have affected peoples inter-relationships. Thus, we can say the possibility exists for a hairstyle to set a social trend.
Hairstyles of celebrities symbolize each generation, era. From a hairstyle we can say what decade it was. In the 50s, the hairstyles were held firmly in place; that was the era of reconstruction in the US. The 60s was a transition from the reconstruction to the boom. There was relative prosperity and it could be seen in the entry of the twiggy and the page boy. The 70s was the Age of Aquarius, a radical era of the hippies, the Black Panthers, anti-Vietnam War, LSD, Woodstock. Adults had taken on a laid back attitude to life and the youth were speaking out against decades-old or century-old traditions. This was the age of nonconformism where boys and men sported hair as long as or longer than womens. The general hairstyle of that era was long, free-flowing, just the way they wanted their world to be. It was more open rebellion in the 80s where hair was now wild curls or drastic harsh cuts.
The end of the millennium to the present new millennium shows hairstyles mixing decades in various manner. This bespeaks the current life attitude which is looking at the past and getting from it what can be used to combine with each other to create something completely new.
