Popular Modern Celebrity Hairstyles Pictures from 2003 to 2010

Celebrity hair styles photo directory of 100+ popular female stars from teen girls to women over 40 and their best modern haircuts...
Wish Upon a Star

Hair salons everywhere find women showing up for their next haircut with celebrity hairstyles pictures of haircut styles they want. Some of the pics are from magazines; others are printouts off the internet.

Celebrity hairstyles are so popular because female celebrities are by default the leading hairstyles models. In fact, celebs are the most visible hair models anywhere--even more visible than the fashion models or "hair models" who do hair modeling as part of their living. Stars just have so much exposure--we see them often in magazines, on TV shows, in movies--or all of the above.

Some celebrities, of course, also become official hair models, and we view them in commercials on TV and in print, including Andie MacDowell, who has been a L'Oreal hair model for ten years, and, most recently, Katharine McPhee, who represents Sexy Hair products.

The reasons we want hairstyles of the stars are primarily because as fans we want to look like our idols or simply because the popular girls do in fact have great hair and excellent hairstyles.
Best Haircuts

Most big stars in Hollywood are millionaires who have access to the best hairstylists in the country if not the world. Their image is very important to them and their careers, and their hair can be a significant part of their image, so they get the best haircuts. They also know that getting a hot new style will put them on the covers of women's magazines, and not just celebrity hair magazines.

Famous women also set hairstyles trends--they aren't still wearing the same hairdo they had ten years ago--so copying them can keep your look current and give you one of the very best latest hairstyles.
Picture This!

One hairstylist said that when a girl shows up at her hair salon with a picture from a celebrity magazine for her new haircut, saying, "I want this!" she will cover over the celeb's face, and then ask, "Is this really what you want?" The answer often is "No."

So as you look around this website at the many different women's hair galleries of modern hairstyles photos from 2008 and the last few years, first find a style you love, and then ask yourself if you're most interested in the star or the cut. Block out the face and focus on just the hair style. Is this me?
Hairstyle Maintenance

Another thing you have to remember is maintenance. A top hairstyle may look amazing--but will you only see it one day--the day you get your hair cut? You need to know how much time it is going to take every day to maintain a new style.

If you have three jobs, are a busy mom, or a full-time student chasing high grades--or you're simply not a morning person--you may not have an extra hour every morning and the luxury of a high-maintenance hairstyle.

Even the celebs themselves wouldn't normally have some of the gorgeous hairstyles you see if they had to do all the work themselves.

Girls like Jessica Simpson can call up a colorist at a moment's notice at virtually any hour of the day or night to get their roots done. Ken Paves is at her beck and call.

Others have a celebrity hairstylist as part of their entourage travelling with them around the world to keep their tresses terrific. Point being you need to be realistic about expectations; some of these looks are fantasy hairstyles.
Formal Hair

Most of the young women visiting Beautiful Hairstyles are seeking a new haircut for their every-day look, but many are also looking for a special hairstyle to wear on a special occasion; it's for when they have a lot of extra time to fix their hair and look their best.

Hot Hair Color

Hair color is now about as important to women as the haircut itself. A very high percentage of ladies, according to an online poll, color their hair.

Three sections of this hair website offer pictures of celeb hair color ideas. There's a red hair gallery with different attractive tones or shades. There's a popular series of hair highlights pics. And there's a blonde celebrity hairstyles gallery.

If you are bored with your haircut, but don't want to bother with another style, color may be the solution to your hair problem.
Black Hairstyles

Did you know that black women spend three times more than white women on hair care products? If you are an African American girl, you can review many top quality shots of black celebrity hairstyles in a special zone on this site.

Black girls get their own hair magazines like Hype Hair and Sophisticate's Black Hair Styles and Hair Guide, and this site offers a similar approach with black-only haircuts of all your favorite stars. It's now organized by date, so you can start with the latest and greatest, then work back in time.
Haircut Style According to Face Shape

When you see a celebrity hairstyle photo you like, and think, That could be my next hairstyle, make sure it's going to flatter your face shape. If the star showcasing the style has a different face shape than yours, it may not work so well for you. From the leading hairstylists to those stylists just starting out, they always consider a woman's face shape before getting out the scissors.
Age-Appropriate Haircuts

Most of us want to look our age, so this hair site has a section of teen hairstyles and another section for mature women over 40.
