| When it comes to Cher, the regular rules don't apply. Born Cherilyn Sarkisian, she was a bride by 18, a number one pop star by 19 and a TV star by 25. It was during her stint on "The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour," that she developed her signature style with the aid of designer Bob Mackie and an ocean of faux locks. She has had "every color wig you can imagine," she once told InStyle. "You cannot do things with your hair because all that styling ruins it. And I love my hair." Cher may be outrageous, but the Hollywood veteran is certainly not reckless. (CREDIT: Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images/Kevin Mazur/WireImage) See More of Cher at InStyle.com |
