10 rihanna hairstyles you forgot she had

On her 27th birthday, we take a look back at some of (the less outlandish) Rihanna hairstyles that you might have forgotten about... Red-Carpet Retro in 2011 This unstoppable red shade was copied by just about everyone in the summer of 2011. We love how Ri combined a statement shade with a sophisticated colour for a romantic look. Starting Out Sleek in 2006 This girl-next-door look is Rihanna at her most subtle, but she still looks sensational. Going Long in 2006 Extensions were Rihanna's BFF for this 2006 look, which saw her going for extreme length and a poker-straight finish. Short and Sweet in 2008 This pixie crop from 2008 is super wearable but still retains a RiRi edge thanks to the shattered layers. Bold and Blunt in 2007 This classic bob from 2007 is a great look for Rihanna, with that blunt fringe adding a fashion-forward edge. Awesome Asymmetric in 2007 This asymmetric cut rivalled the Pob for driving women into salons to get their hair cut off.  Retro Rolls in 2011 While rocking this red shade in 2011, Rihanna opted for a dash of vintage styling - these retro rolls are a change from her usual style, but as usual are carried off with aplomb. Curly Girly in 2006 Sheer romance oozes from this feminine look, dating back to 2006. Updo Elegance in 2006 Rihanna is more about cuts and colours than updos usually, but this elegant look from back in 2006 proves that she should take a risk with hair ups more often. Going Grey in 2008 Rihanna's colour changes aren't always dramatic. This flash of grey through the fringe is directional but still utterly wearable.     [Images: Rex Features]
