You’ve got the finest kicks that money can buy, a beautiful new outfit, and even the right ride to turn heads. But what is going on with that hair? Are you just hoping to cover your head up with a hat and make it through? As if celebrities weren’t bringing in enough attention with their fancy clothes and cars, the celebrity hair cut is taking shape as one of the defining measurements of “cool” in American society. Of course, everyone remembers the craze over “The Rachel,” the hair cut made popular by Jennifer Aniston, back when she was known mostly for her recurring role on Friends. But modeling your hair after your favorite actor, actress, or celebrity could pay big dividends in your own popularity.

Though many guys might not admit it, they pay attention to the trends and hair cuts going on within the celebrity worlds. Growing Up Gotti has shot the Gotti name into celebrity status. But most people associate the Gotti name these days with the wild hairstyles employed by the Gotti boys. Thousands of look-alikes have popped up around the country with guys trying to model their hair after the Gotti look. On another extreme, actors from Brad Pitt to Orlando Bloom have gone with the short-haired look. Guys have likewise copied these styles and used the celebrity hair cut to their advantage.

Actors and actresses aren’t the only ones influencing how people style their hair cuts though. Ever since Allen Iverson, corn rows have become immensely popular in America. Hair braiding in general has become popular and a great way for people to show off their heritage or culture while imitating their favorite celebrity hair cut. Recent, Paris Hilton cut her flowing blond hair short and turned heads on red carpets everywhere. A sudden change like that in a celebrity haircut can cause thousands of girls out there to change their styles as well. Celebrity hair cuts tops off the list of ways to change fashion trends in the country.
