Marilyn Monroe had fine, wavy hair which she bleached to a white or platinum blonde. This colour had been immortalised by 1930's screen actress Jean Harlow, whose hair eventually fell out because of it. But in Marilyn's grim, unhappy childhood and adolescence Jean Harlow was her idol, and she is the unmistakable inspiration for the iconic Monroe hair style. ![]() Marilyn Monroe Hair Styles Whether that's true or not, the hair styles of Marilyn Monroe highlighted her face shape beautifully, revealing here, softening there. To achieve her look she used pin curls - twisting strands over and holding them in place with hair pins until they had set. There's no doubting the importance of hair style in Marilyn's mind. In 1956 she insisted that Bus Stop co-star Hope Lange have her hair darkened so that it wouldn't compete with her own. Marilyn Monroe hair styles have never really gone away. Many celebrities have tried on Marilyn Monroe hair styles to see how they fit. Christina Aguilera recently adopted the Marilyn Monroe hair style, without the colour. Madonna, of course, once made it a pastime to look like Marilyn. ![]() Marilyn Monroe's Hair Styles One was offered as a prize by author Jack Webb. The strands, those that are authentic, originate with a hair stylist who removed them from Marilyn's body after her death in 1962. Marilyn's stylist could do nothing with the ruined, matted hair left after her autopsy. Her final hair style was a wig provided by Sydney Guillaroff, a celebrity hairdresser who fainted the moment he saw Marilyn's body. But he recovered and did the job. Guillaroff had to cut off sections of Marilyn's hair so that the wig would fit. He kept some for himself and friends, and these are the strands that appear for sale, now and then, on the internet and privately. Marilyn Monroe and her hair styles appeared in countless photographs and 29 movies. You can view larger versions of the pictures in this gallery by clicking on each thumbnail.
