With her versatility and brave experimentation in music, Christina Aguilera was hailed as one of the world’s best-selling music artists in the industry. She has an estimated sales of 75 million records. She has also claimed five Grammy Awards, one Latin Grammy Award, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2010.
The multi-Grammy award-winning singer started her career as a member of Disney Channel’s “The New Mickey Mouse Club” in 1993. Among her co-stars were Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, and Ryan Gosling. She spent two years in the show gaining invaluable acting, dancing, and singing experience.
However, upon returning school, she suffered from bullying that was urged by classmates who were jealous of her fame. Christina was then forced to transfer to a new junior high school in Pittsburgh but she experienced the same during high school. With these incidents, her mother decided to homeschool her. She was able to complete her secondary education while recording her debut album, Christina Aguilera, in 1998.
After her exposure on “The New Mickey Mouse Club”, the former child actor had an unusual opportunity – a duet with Japanese singer Keizo Nakanishi entitled “All I Wanna Do”. Christina was brought to Japan for the making of the video and to join Nakanishi on tour. In 1997, she returned to the US and worked on a demo tape to help her find a recording contract. Fortunately, the producers of the soundtrack for the studio’s “Mulan” were looking for someone to record a pop version of the song “Reflection”. Christina got the job and secured a recording contract with RCA Records in early 1998.
Her rise to fame soon began after recording the song “Reflection” which was nominated for a “Best Original Song” Golden Globe. Her self-titled album was released the following year and reached the top of the Billboard 200 and Canadian album charts. Its singles “Genie in a Bottle”, “What a Girl Wants” and “Come on Over Baby” all topped the Billboard Hot 100.
In 2000, she proudly represented her Latin heritage in her second album, Mi Reflejo. The album contained a Spanish version of her songs along with new Spanish tracks. It also earned her a Latin Grammy for “Best Female Pop Vocal Album” in 2001. Just a month after Mi Reflejo, she released a new holiday-themed album, My Kind of Christmas.
In 2002, Christina decided to go in a different artistic direction. She released the album, Stripped, alongside her new image that expressed her sexuality and independence through her appearance and songs. It was the start of her fashion and hairstyle transformations.
She began wearing braids for her “Dirrty” and “Beautiful” videos. Since then, the multi-talented singer-songwriter had drastic hair changes that are paired with eye-catching outfits. To give you a clearer picture (literally), here are Christina Aguilera’s hairstyles over the years.
