Katy Perry has ever changing hairstyles and here are some favorites:

2011 MTV Video Music Awards - Press Room

She has a vintage wavy shoulder length bob in a pink shade here at the MTV Music Awards. She has a record accessory like a tam hat placed toward the front of her head. The style is reminiscent of a Lauren Bacall's 1940's hairstyle.

This is my grandmother although I never did meet her. Clearly she was a character as she is dressed here in a grass skirt and strapless bra.

There is story behind this crazy looking costume. The era was the 1940's and her oldest son had been shipped overseas to Hawaii to help with the aftermath of Pearl Harbor. He wanted to send home a gift to his mother and something that had the true flavor of tropical island life. The skirt is gathered around her waist and flows down past her knees. She is also sporting a flower lei around her neck that comes down past her waist. A flower on the side of her hair is the perfect accessory for this outfit.

Looking back at the 1970's, we can remember the days of hippies and flower children. Thin headbands were a popular hair accessory.

Hippie Girl with Headband

This woman has long straight medium brown hair that is parted off center and she is bang-less. This is typical of this decade when a no style was preferred. It was suppose to signify a minimalist attitude and no fluff or frills. The thin headband or forehead band kept the strands from falling into the face and also was a celebration of a Native American fashion trend that was common in the previous century. This headband is a macrame pattern with seed beads and a stretchy material makes it easy to fit over the head. What a fun look for summer or possibly for one who wants a costume from the decade of the 70's. I found a fun example here to check out.

Here's a style wave for ya if you want something a little edgy with a twist of 80's with currently trendy.

Let's start with the hairdo which is pulled back into a single braid that sits at the top of the crown. It sits high on the head and dangles down the back like a ponytail. All strands are pulled straight back for a slicked back appearance. The braid itself is narrow rather than bushy. You can tell this model has relatively fine hair and the end of the braid is quite thin.

This is a perfect look for the female looking for a fun and nerdy theme that showcases the retro colored telephone as a prop.

Redhead women with green telephone.

Back in the day it was cool to have a side part and pigtails just made it that much better. This model is wearing thick black framed glasses that give her the studious nerd persona. She does not have a ton of hair so this is just right for those with fine locks. The top portion is smooth and straight and the ponies are loosely curled. The phone is chartreuse and has the dial that gave the fingers a good workout.
