It's amazing the different styles we can now do with our own hair, and quickly!

A great case-in-point was Rihanna at the recent MTV music awards with her four much-talked-about looks that included changes in hairstyles throughout the show.

Right, she's got a team of professional hairstylists just off stage, ready to make the next style change like a race car pit crew. They are experts, trained, practiced. But "guess what?" you can pull off some pretty fast style changes, too, in the bathroom or in your car before heading to happy hour after work.

In one performance she wore her hair slicked back and pulled up into a ponytail that sat high on top of her head. You don't need to have long hair to do this! Go with a hair extension. Clip it in and move.

Her second style with a veil shows what you can do to change a look with the huge variety of hats, bandanas and other accessories. Try stuff! These things are not expensive.

Hair extensions and hats aren't the only accessories. Think about wigs. Rihanna went from a style that reminded me of an 80s mullet suddenly to a subdued, polished slick-back straight look. You can make these sorts of quick changes with a wig and hair pieces. Rihanna has stepped out recently for the paparazzi with some pretty long hair, but we can suppose that at the MTV awards she was working with a few hair pieces to make her fast changes. The quality of wigs and hair extensions has gotten so strong that it looks totally real but remains fun because your people know.

Wow need I say more about Rihanna? She is absolutely beautiful and looks amazing in virtually every hairstyle she has worn. She inspires us to embrace change. Don't be afraid to change up your hairstyle. It keeps us from getting into a rut, and there are so many hair accessories we can use to give us nice change temporarily!

Love change!
