Over the past several decades, there have been plenty of trends when it comes to hair: bobs, lobs, bangs, perms, poufs, layers, shags and mullets, to name a few.

Take, for instance, Jane Birkin’s fringe, Stevie Nicks’ cascading blond waves or Grace Jones’ box cut. It’s been eons, and we’re all still referencing and attempting to replicate the art that is/was their hair. See? Iconic.
