What is bigger than Carrie Underwood’s voice, you ask? Her 2005 American Idol hair. With a rocker-chic vibe making a debut in one of her most famous performances, perhaps this hair should stay in 2005.

Carrie’s hair can both be cute and glamorous – and dare I say, it compliments that shimmer purple eyeshadow like no other. Name a more dynamic duo, I’ll wait.

Carrie Underwood Hair 2015

As we dove into 2015 it was easy to see that Carrie’s Hair was going to just keep on getting better and better, and no one is going to be able to stop it. Carrie Underwood’s hair doesn’t have a peak, ok people, it is THE peak — always will be.

She kept a look of long layers with grown out bangs until she later cut it into a long bob.

For the 2017 CMAs she kept it simple, a crazy comparison when looking back at her 2007 look.

Did I also mention that she can totally rock an up-do? Try and give Carrie a hairstyle that she can’t rock, I dare you (let’s just forget 2005 ok, we all have to go through a rough patch to humble ourselves).

Carrie Underwood Hair 2019 – watch below as Carrie returns to American Idol in 2019 sporting her longer hair style.

Alright, let’s wrap it up— I think we can all agree when I say: CARRIE. GIRL. YA LOOK GOOD. Like seriously guys, look at those blonde locks that have not only survived every hair trend throughout the 2000s but have come out on top. Bow down to Carrie Underwood’s locks, a truly proper heir to a throne– Or dare I say, a truly proper “hair” to a throne. Wow that joke was almost as bad as 2005… almost. Prayers to your hairs ya’ll, thank you for traveling through time with me— may you and your hairdos be as spectacular as Carrie’s.
