From Frida Khalo to Farrah Fawcett, hair that made history with a signature hairstyle,
such a strong feature in a woman's appearance announces to the world that she is sure of herself,
but also ready for any challenge.
This is exactly what the following dynamic women prove, who have managed, among other things, to
and with their hairstyle make history.
Jane Birkin
Her long, filleted hair with bangs was her trademark in the 1970s.
Whether they were caught in a messy top knot or left loose on stage, the singer/actress managed to establish herself
like the fresh face that was missing from showbiz, the one that is achieved not thanks to some invasive treatment,
but thanks to her genuine smile and unpretentious beauty.
Twiggy
The year was 1966 and being a mere 16-year-old girl, Twiggy first visited Leonard Lewis' hairdressing salon
to comb her hair.
She then allowed him, without necessarily meaning to, to create her iconic pixie, which then launched her career.
"It was a big step for Twiggs, because like many girls, she loved long hair
and at one point he seemed to have gone numb.
But I knew this haircut would bring out her boyish features - and no boy had her eyes or neck."
remembers the hairstylist.
Farrah Fawcett
Farrah Fawcett's intensely filleted haircut, aside from becoming synonymous with the 1970s,
is still so popular that it is still in demand in salons.
The bangs, layers, volume and movement were the key features of her hair look, which eventually earned her the title of beauty legend.
Frida Khalo
Frida Khalo is undoubtedly one of the most widely recognized women in the world.
In addition to her feminist art, Khalo has also managed to become known for her beauty choices,
including her unibrow and braided updo.
Braids, "entangled" with colorful ribbons and flowers are a hair staple for many Mexican women,
including those in the Coyoacán region, where Khalo is from.
Angela Davis
Angela Davis is one of the most legendary activists of all time, and to this day she is still one of the most
to be a force to be reckoned with on both social justice and beauty issues.
She may be known for her efforts to dismantle many of the racist and misogynistic social structures,
but it was her signature afro that helped inspire many other African-American women to embrace their roots.
