Another month forward in time shows Sigourney Weaver's hair again styled via a blown-straight look and slightly-off-center side parting. Large-barreled hot rollers or perhaps Velcro rollers were probably used to create added volume at the ends of the hair. This look is at once stylish, soft, and more romantic, and again works well to soften the angular features of Ms. Weaver's face.

In January 2005, five months later, we see Ms. Weaver's hairstyle has again evolved. Cut into a blunt bob, the hair is styled using the natural wave of Sigourney Weaver's hair. Styled straight, the hair would fall below the shoulders, but with the natural curl intact, the length obviously becomes shorter. The curls are smoothed with anti-frizz serum, and the hairstyle is at once carefree and casual.

Fast forward to January 2006: here we see Ms. Weaver's hair once more styled smooth, and the cut returned to the razor-textured bob she seems to favor most. This time, her hair is parted in the center in a short parting, is past her shoulders in length, and has likely been styled with a flat iron to create the gentle curves you see.

Finally, we see the most recent version of Sigourney Weaver's signature style—cropped once more to neck length, blunted, and with significantly shorter fringe. The style itself is barely changed. It is perhaps less textured, but is still styled smooth and straight. Yet, by losing just a little of the hair's length, the look is made fresh and new, but still undeniably a traditional "Sigourney Weaver" look.

So, you see, the subtle changes made over the course of months and years provide a nearly endless variety of "looks," all of which serve to flatter and refine Ms. Weaver's appearance. If you keep in mind the different styling methods available—those that are not chemically based and "permanent"—you can achieve a new look without sacrificing a style you truly enjoy.

She has also been known for her intensely varied hairstyles. From the gamine short crop that caused such a sensation at the 2002 Academy Awards to her style of long curly tresses, Halle Berry has had several looks that are all equally attractive and flattering.
