CARRIE BRADSHAW HAIR LEXICON

The classic Carrie look: naked dress, wild curls and a pair of mules.

Few characters are as synonymous with their hair as Carrie Bradshaw, with her signature messy curls as much a part of her identity as her Manolos.

Wild and voluminous, her "c-c-c-c-curly" hair in the early seasons of Sex and the City were a love letter to late-90s, early 2000s texture; imperfect and iconic.

As the series evolved, so did Carrie's look: from the divisive curly bob to poker-straight length, brushed out glam to low buns, peroxide blonde to controversial brunette, her look shifted with the storyline. But those famous curls always came back.

In And Just Like That… Carrie embraced a looser, more lived-in curl pattern, reflecting both her age and evolution: paired with grey streaks and a touch more softness.

With the news that And Just Like That… is ending, and Carrie's story will finally come to a close, what better time to revisit her hair lexicon: a history of TV's most stylish character told through twists, waves and iconic frizz.

Real ones know that Carrie's hair was originally short, and a mousy blonde (this is from the pilot).

Carrie's wild curls were often presented as a symbol of her carefree personality and life.
