When she burst onto the scene, Rihanna wore long, wavy, starlet hair. It didn't set her apart from the pack.

Then she chopped her locks off into an symmetrical, head-hugging bob... and that's when heads started to turn. With her hair hanging longer on one side than the other, it showed she would be playing by her rules.
