Rihanna ditched her long 'Raggedy Ann' locks, and at this year's 46th Academy of Country Music Awards, she sported a neat, flaming pixie.

During her performance this Sunday, she wore a white fringed dress and belted out her next single, 'California King Bed,' off of 'LOUD' with Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles.

If you're wondering what's been coming between you and healthy, lush hair, it may be the products you use. Let's be real - when we meander the hair product aisle, more often than not we are looking to see what a product does and not what's in it. But not paying close attention to ingredients can wreak major havoc on our locks.

As the green movement picks up, an increasing number of brands are swapping out harmful chemicals for powerful, eco-friendly alternatives that work just as well to achieve desired results.

We all can't be as bold as celebrities like Cassie, who completely shave off the sides of their hair without a second thought. However, Tichina Arnold came up with a cool way to fake the look: tiny cornrows!

With the weave and wig industry making more money than ever, it's hard to keep in mind that bald can still be beautiful. However, the new Mrs. Black North Carolina, Sandra Dubose-Gibson, has recently reminded us all that beauty doesn't always come in a Yaki Pony bag.

The mega-billionaire that is Oprah Winfrey has been gracing our televisions for the last 25 years, and with each year came a more interesting hairstyle. As she says goodbye to her insanely successful talk show, let's take a gander at the many different looks she's given us over her run.

As one of the greatest voices of our time, Ms. Erykah Badu has impacted both music and style in a way most artists wish they could. While the level of her talent has remained the same over time, her hair certainly has not. Here, we take a look back at the many looks of this unorthodox diva.

If you're going to relaunch a hair-care product, there's no better city to do it in than Atlanta.

To kick off their latest national campaign 'My Pride. My Way,' African Pride, the olive oil-infused hair-care product line, headed to the King Plow Arts Center in Atlanta to host a star-studded evening of fun. The star of TV One's upcoming show 'The Ultimate Merger' and former 'America's Next Top Model' contestant Toccara Jones teamed with 'House of Payne' actor Lance Gross to host the evening of festivities.

'Cosby Show' actress Keisha Knight Pulliam, who just wrapped filming the 200th episode of TBS' 'House of Payne,' came out to support her co-star.

"Honestly, I just came to support. I think it's definitely important for women to embrace whatever hair they have that God has given you," Pulliam told BlackVoices.com.

"As black women, we are so diverse and have all different types of hair, whether it is curly or kinky, short or long, it's yours -- and a reflection of your style. I think it's fine to do it all. Hair is an accessory. I have natural hair, but I may throw in a clip-in piece in a minute, and there's nothing wrong with it. The versatility is what's so fun."

Round, square or heart, whatever the shape of your face, you should not be deterred from trying the latest and greatest in celebrity hair trends and styles. From an asymmetrical bob to a bevvy of curls, these celebrities know how to embrace and own their look from head to toe. Take a look at these showstoppers, and you can walk away with a style tip or two for your apple head or strawberry face! It's all love.

HEART-SHAPED

KERI HILSON

Not afraid of taking hair risks, we've seen Ms. Hilson in too many hair styles to name. This asymmetrical bob defines the angles in Keri's face and really puts emphasis on her fantastic jawline. The longer side with the bang adds a little playful touch and softens up the rest of her face.

KELLY ROWLAND

Kelly is truly a hair chameleon, but this is, by far, her most daring look to date - at least in my opinion. The low tapered sides and sharpness of her side swoop draws the eye straight to her profound facial features. If I had a face shaped like hers, I'd want everyone to notice its beauty as well.

Heart-shaped dolls don't be afraid to show it all off. Take your next hair cue from the stars and go get your pretty girl rock on and let all the fellas know - yea, it's done like this!

OVAL
SOLANGE

Solange's mane has expressed itself in multiple forms: afro wigs, braids, no hair, long hair, blonde, red, highlights - the list goes on and on. My favorite, however, would have to be this au naturel twist look. The upward and outward twist adds character, and her face looks healthy and full. Don't be afraid to go for the chop. There is no rule anywhere that prevents oval beauties from trying their hand at something other than a bob.
