Bajan Barbie
Few recall that Rihanna was actually a redhead long before this most recent hair venture of hers - when she hit the scene in 2005 with her debut album Music of the Sun, her long hair was a striking, yet innocent auburn shade.

Riding the Waves of Success
With the rapid success of her first album, Rihanna made sure we wouldn't forget her, dropping a new look and new album (A Girl Like Me) less than eight months later. Here she is with loose waves and a demure brown shade at the Hope Rocks benefit concert in 2005.

The success of "Umbrella," her new cut and her brand-new wardrobe showed us that Rihanna was truly embracing her inner rocker, but this cute curly 'do at the 2007 World Music Awards reminded us all that she could still glam it up at the drop of a hat!

On Fire!
Never satisfied with one look for long, Rihanna trades in the blonde for fiery, cherry-red curls. In a weird way, it really fits her!
