A history of Bradley Cooper's hair
Bradley Cooper has had a perm, long locks, short locks and everything in-between. Be it for film roles or in his personal life, he's certainly utilised his hairstylist to the max.
We chart the rise, fall, and rise (again) of the actor's infamous mane. Take a look here...
Rex FeaturesThere’s no denying that Bradley Cooper is one helluva good looking guy; with piercing blue eyes, a chiselled jaw akin to that of Michaelangelo's David, and a lupine grin that borders on the indecent. Coops is so friggin' perfect, we reckon if we ever actually clapped eyes on him in person, we'd probably combust.

After recovering from the initial shock of it, we decided to do a little research on the subject, convincing ourselves that this was surely one ill-advised ‘do on an otherwise spotless beauty record... Right? Wrong. Turns out B. Coops’ follicles have had one hairy past. [Pun intended]. So let us take you on a trip through time for a brief history in the life of Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper’s hair.
Rex FeaturesAnd yet, looking back at photos from last year, I almost feel like we should've seen Bradley’s hairmageddon coming. Just look at this crispy, slicked-back style at the premiere of The Word; the writing was on the wall, people. It really was.
Rex FeaturesAnd as we dig through the archives, it gets worse: Remember those cresshead things that you used to have as a kid? Looks like Brad was a fan of them in adulthood, too.

Rex FeaturesHey, Bradley... Victoria Beckham-circa-pixie-crop-2008 just called and she wants her hairdo back. Hangs up imaginary phone with VB on the line
Rex FeaturesIt's 2005 and Bradders has gotten his big screen breakthrough in Wedding Crashers – yeah, did you even know that Coops plays Rachel McAdams douchebag fiancé? No, you probably totally forgot that because you were trying to blot this shaved head look out of your mind's eye. Well, good luck with that. Good. Luck. Coopy has the same length of hair across his entire head. Not entirely dissimilar to a tennis ball.

Barcroft MediaThey say, “to really know a man, is to look at his changing hairstyles”* – and not even the super-cute tiger cub is managing to claw this one back for Bradley. [Pun absolutely intended.]
*I don't believe anyone has ever said this, ever.*
Okay, okay... We know this one was for a film role.
Rex FeaturesSo Bradley, if you're reading this (we know you're not), we speak as your super fans; please just keep the shexy swept-back hair as it was. The time for experimentation is over and you've had your fun; the Oscars are next week for crying out loud and you're up for Best Actor, so lets stop with this tomfoolery and get you back to your best. Kind regards and good luck next Sunday, love GLAMOUR.com x
INFphoto.comOh cripes. It turns out the Oscars were a red herring. Pictured two weeks after, Bradley stepped out with a head full of pink curlers. Aside from the fact that there are almost, almost no words for this, we are, in fact, possibly more concerned about the look that he is going for here; because if one thing is certain, it’s that Coopy’s ‘do ain’t gonna look much better when those things are finally removed. In fact, he is probably going to look like a 30-something, male Shirley Temple.
Flynet...W.T.F.
PA PhotosA year on from Silver Linings Playbook-mania and Mr. Cooper’s ill-timed hair-mare during Awards Season, things are finally on the straight and narrow for Bradley’s barnet. Nice to have you back, Coops.
Getty ImagesBradley looked seriously dapper at a Gala in LA. He had his hair slicked back in a very sophisticated style...
