    Sure, the lob may still be going strong, but on the other end of the hair spectrum there's the ultra-long, navel-grazing style (and, ahem, extensions) donned by many a star in 2015. A revival of sorts, we're looking back on all the lengthy bohemian-meets-bombshell manes that give Rapunzel a run for her money/inspire us to skip a haircut, or like five.

    The French beauty was known to add length to her teased, platinum blonde mane.

    Joni Mitchell, 1968

    Hailed the girl with flowers in her hair by Led Zeppelin, Mitchell's long, pin-straight strands and fringe was/is the ultimate bohemian combination.

    Cher, 1972

    Cascading raven-black hair was as essential to Cher's '70s look as an embellished Bob Mackie dress.

    Even at extremely long lengths, Ross is *all* about the volume.

    Sofia Vergara, 2002

    She may be a natural blonde, but since the beginning of her career, Vergara has been known for her Rapunzel-like brunette lengths as much as her killer curves.

    Kim Kardashian, 2010

    In recent years Kim K has ditched her ultra-lengthy hair extensions in favor of her natural length, but it's only a matter of time before she goes back.

    Jennifer Lopez, 2011

    J. Lo's waterfall of caramel-hued strands screams diva. 'Nuff said.

    Rihanna, 2011

    RiRi has undergone more hair transformations than we can count on two hands, but her derrière-length, fire-engine-red hair will be forever ingrained in our brains.

    The R&B songstress ultra-dark, super-long hair evokes a '70s throwback for 2015.
