Yes, this is Shakira! She wore these bright red, crimped locks to the 1999 Alma Awards.

At the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards, Shakira accessorized her long locks with a Wonder Woman-esque headband.

In 2002, Shakira attended the MuchMusic Video Awards with chocolate lowlights that starkly contrasted against her blond hair.

Backstage during rehearsal for her Tour of the Mongoose, Shakira sported this gorgeous head of curls.

As she was announced the new UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, Shakira wore a beret on top of her waves (and a bindi, too.)

Shakira also looks awesome in bangs, proven here at the 2004 MTV Latin American Video Music Awards.
