The Best Breakup Hairstyles
It seems every woman gets the urge to drastically change her locks after a breakup. And there's something kind of symbolic about it: out with the old (dead ends, deadweight dude), in with the new (flirty fringe, flirting freedom). After becoming suddenly single, these stars revamped their image and their attitude- and get the dirty truth about why guys dump girls they dig.
Jennifer Love Hewitt
Jennifer's super-poofy hair has always spoken, um, volumes about her bubbly personality. But when she and boyfriend Jamie Kennedy split a few weeks ago, she promptly set down the volumizer, reached for the scissors, and got herself a shiny new breakup bob. Survey says: The Ghost Whispererstar still looks fun, but infinitely more chic.
Anne Hathaway
In April 2008, Anne simultaneously shed her signature long brown locks and her shady businessman boyfriend, Raffaello Follieri, after he was arrested on fraud and money-laundering charges. The debacle proved that she's one of Hollywood's rare quadruple threats: She can act, sing, dance…and crack jokes to Letterman about her unfortunate taste in men. See how her hair has changed since she first entered into the spotlight.
Rihanna
RiRi's never been timid about experimenting with her hair-it's been long, supershort, asymmetrical, streaked, bobbed. And as the smoke from the Chris Brown firestorm started to clear in mid-2009, she emerged with a style that's usually reserved for punk dudes and assorted America's Next Top Model contestants: a Mohawk. Some said she was channeling Woody Woodpecker, but we think they're just jealous of her seriously badass do. Find out how to steal Rihanna's style.
