Rihanna’s edgier hairstyles are not for the faint hearted. They are dramatic, experimental and audacious but very flattering on this Barbadian singer. Here are three of Rihanna’s edgier hairstyles:
Bowl cut – Rihanna’s bowl cut is reminiscent of a choir boy’s haircut of the past. Her blond tresses were cut with long bluntly cut bangs with the back and side sections cut very short with black highlights on the left side of the hair. She also wore a bowl cut with her signature red tresses. Rihanna’s hair colors enhance the cut of a retro-style bowl cut hairstyle.
Mohawk cut – Rihanna’s Mohawk is maybe the edgiest hairstyle she has ever tried. The sides and back are cut very short, almost shaved while the middle and top sections are left with long. choppy layers.
Asymmetric bob – Another one of Rihanna’s edgier hairstyle is an asymmetric bob that confounded everyone. It is as bold as daring as most of her hairstyles but this one suits her facial features flawlessly. This is actually a classic bob that is given an upgrade with the longer layers on the side.

Rihanna, the Barbadian R&B singer whose frequent fabulous hairstyle and hair color changes are as popular as her music is now blonde Rihanna. She took the plunge of going blonde for her cover photo for Elle magazine. The hair is blonde, sleek, cut with long layers and paired with long piece-y bangs that reach beyond the eyes. Rihanna is not new to blonde hair. Last year she also rocked golden tresses but for most of last year she had a fiery red hair color in several styles from long and curly, sleek and straight or mid-length bouncy.
Blonde Rihanna was also seen in her new hairstyle when she watched the Denver Nuggets-LA Clippers game in LA. She even shared a candid photo from her Elle photo shoot where she seems to be wearing nothing but strings of gold necklace and her sexy edgy long layered blonde hairstyle. Other places and events where Rihanna flaunted her super sexy straight blonde hair was in a Hollywood nightclub, Roxbury and while she shopped at the Christian Louboutin boutique.
At the Grammy Awards night, blonde Rihanna again wowed her public when she arrived with beachy wavy golden tresses. Although the wavy layered hairstyle looks casual and laidback, it was the perfect foil for the simple yet sexy Armani gown that showed off her curvaceous form. Photo Copyright of PR PHOTOS
