Hairstyles are transient for even us mere mortals, who naturally like to change-up our signature look from time to time.
However, when it comes to celebrities, there is no such thing as aesthetic permanence thanks to a variety of roles and a bunch of red carpet events, each with its own unique hairdo requirements.
Of course, sometimes Hollywood stars switch things up themselves, with Harry Styles opting for a complete hair makeover to mark the start of his solo career after he left One Direction, and Kate Hudson vowing to keep her shaved head because she finds it "liberating ".
