As the Queen celebrates 60 years on the throne, we look back at the changing celebrity hairstyles which have influenced hairdressing trends, clients and photographic collections since her reign began. Here we look at the stars that shaped the nineties.
The nineties was something of a mixed bag of styles, with the the rise of supermodels promoting hair that was big, glossy, groomed - but natural-looking. In contrast, grunge reigned supreme with street-style looks and no-fuss styles finding popularity.
Gary Taylor of Edward and Co, Brighouse gives his thoughts on the stars of the era.
Gwen Stefani
"In her days with No Doubt, the indie girl look was hot and Gwen was the leader of the pack. Everyone loved her girly dresses and bleached blonde locks. She was renowned for being different but knew exactly how to work her individuality and a nation fell in love with her 40s style waves and alternative updos."
Jennifer Aniston
"Following the rising popularity of her TV show, Friends, in the 90s, there was one do that everyone from teenagers to young professionals were asking for - 'The Rachel'. Jennifer Aniston's soft, textured shag screamed modern woman. Every woman seems to be reached for her hot-brush to get this look picture perfect."
Winona Ryder
"The revival of the pixie crop started in the 90s when Winona Ryder cropped her hair. The perfect style to suit her elfin features and her image for being a little bit of a livewire, Winona's look was followed by ladies everywhere. "
Kate Moss
"In the 90s a whole new wave of music was big as grunge emerged onto the scene. Bands like Nirvana, Garbage and Hole brought with them a whole new culture and style. One celeb who was known for the grunge look was supermodel of the moment Kate Moss who at the time was dating Johnny Depp. This look was matte, dishevelled but at the same time hip, youthful and uber cool."
