Long before the days of hair oils and frizz fighters, Patti Smith made fuzzy hair the height of cool. The next time humidity gets your hair raising, think: WWPSD?

The Velvet Underground singer had long, center fringe that hung down into her eyes, making her appear aloof — yet still insanely cool — on stage.

Before the Beyoncé hair flip, there was the Tina hair flip. Aside from texture to go crazy for, Tina worked her hairstyle on stage like it was another limb.

Sinead O'Connor made the woman-with-a-shaved-head look a thing way before Natalie Portman in V for Vendetta (and indelible thanks to that photo-ripping incident on Saturday Night Live).

Say hello to the mother of that bedhead hair you've always wanted. Janis even incorporated her envy-inducing mane into her act, whipping it around as she wailed on stage.
