Today marks the 55th birthday of a legend that once lived among us, Whitney Houston.

Throughout the changing scenes of her career, she had a different hairstyle on, making her fans and the world in general anticipation and wonder as to which style she would don next.
Below is a timeline of all the hairstyles of Whitney Houston from the beginning to the sad and abrupt end of her career.

In 2000, it was the dawn of a new era of hair for Whitney. Her black, straight, short bob at the Grammy Awards very unlike her but then again, so much like her unstable style choices
In 2001, she shocked again with a much different cinnamon-hued layered bob
2006 was the honey blonde year for Whitney with another banged bob look
