Long before she was the world's most powerful woman Beyoncé was just a little girl in pigtails.
A few years later she opted for braids—a style that she will continue to return to through the years.
For her first appearance on Soul Train, the singer pulled back her ringlets with a spider comb headband. (Remember those?!)
In Destiny Child's first video "No, No, No Part 1" the singer sported twists and curls.
Back to braids! Bey topped her woven 'do with a cowboy hat (she is from Texas, after all!) in the "Bugaboo" music video.
There is no style Queen Bey can't pull off even this crimped effect in the "Bills Bills Bills" music video.
Golden Girl! The singer debuted her new fully blond tresses on TRL.

Then she moved on to this extra high ponytail.
She soon upgraded her updo to this, er, unique style.
For her "Bootylicious" video the pop star flaunted pink dipped ends.
You go, curl! The Austin Powers in Goldmember actress brought the 70's vibe off-screen with this voluminous 'do.
Peek-a-boo, we see you! The singer sported extra long bangs at the American Music Awards.
And speaking of extra long, later that same year the star rocked a Rapunzel look.
The star tried out a pouf-y half up, half down style at the MTV Video Music Awards.
The Grammy-winner rocked the world's sleekest braided bun of all time.
Short and sweet! The singer had beauty pageant curls at the Golden Globes.
The bangs are back but this time she could actually see through the fringe.
She looked elegant with this ultra polished ponytail at the Billboard Music Awards.
Beyoncé debuted her first undone updo (this touseled chignon) at the Grammys.
