Fun Poll! It's a toughy, I know. I'd have to say (in no particular order):
1. Veronica Lake
2. Farrah Fawcett
3. Jennifer Aniston
4. Jackie Kennedy
5. Dorthy Hamill
6. Cher
7. Jean Harlow
8. Theda Bara
9. Brooke Shields
10. Mia Farrow

I'll have to make a couple of changes,
remove Theda Bara and replace with Louise Brooks,
remove Brooke Shields and replace with Crystal Gayle ,
Jackie O is a though one, known more for style in general than for hair, I would think that Audrey Hepburn was more influential. Can't argue with no's 1,2,3,5,6,7,10

Definitely Audrey Hepburn, and most of the rest of the women on the list, but I'd also add Bettie Page to the list. Maybe her hair wasn't influential to most women but I think it looked so cool.

I'm not sure if there was a single person to credit with the "Gibson girl" look but if there was she should be on the list.

I know she is controversial (and fictional) but I'd have to put "Barbie" on the list as well.

Wonderful pole . . . great suggestions . . . I agree with all of them.

I guess I'm entering the realm of Honorable Mentions beyond the top ten. I would have to include Twiggy, also. How about Diana Ross?

Hi!
Just out of interest, who IS Theda Bara?
I'd have to add Siouxsie Sioux to that list.
Influence only in the Goth community, but Influence none the less!

"Lily"

P.S. Thanks for mentioning Cher, I've been waiting forever for someone to do that!

If you were talking about the most influential wig wearers of all time, Diana Ross would be in the top 10, along with Dolly Parton, Tina Turner and Donna Summer. Anyone want to add to my new list?

I'm not sure who cut their hair first, Twiggy or Mia Farrow, one deserves a credit. Diana Ross is to me, more just overall great style, not necessarily with the hair, IMO.

Good choices! I was thinking of Louise Brooks when I mentioned Theda Bara. I probably should have added Princess Diana in there somewhere though.

What about Whitney Houston ? One only has to look at the videos from her latest album. Most are real natural looking but there are also one or two flamboyant ones a la Diana Ross or Tina Turner

What about Demi Moore's pixie on "GHOST"? :-)

Great topic and plenty of great lists.
Here's mine:

Louise Brookes (that bob!)
Dorothy Hammill (Every girl on my block had the wedge)
Angela Davis (the Afro became very hip, very quickly)
Bo Derek (those darn braids!)
Farah Fawcett (Everyone old enough to remember her influence does.)
Madonna (Her hair and her style are often copied)
Jennifer Aniston (Let's see a show of hands, who had "The Rachel 'do"?)
Demi Moore (The pixie 'do from "Ghost" was huge)
Princess Diana (I recall her hairstyle being in among massive sections of the populaus)
Audrey Hepburn (Well, she was more of a fashion thing than a hair thing, but the hair and capri pants went together)

The above is just my humble opinion. What are your thoughts?
Peace to all

HeadBoy, you wrote exactly what I would have.
