Celebrate SJP's Birthday with Carrie Bradshaw's Best Hair Moments

If there's one woman who has inspired more than her fair share of hair envy, it's Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City. Her wild, curly tendrils have been mimicked time and time again, making her mane one of the most iconic ones out there. And since Sarah Jessica Parker, who brought Carrie to life on the small screen, is celebrating her birthday, what better time to look back at the show's best beauty moments?

Even in the earlier seasons it's plain to see that Carrie's voluminous, curly hair was a character of its own.

While we love Carrie's hair all wild and free, it looks polished and pretty pulled back into a half-updo here in season one.

A subtle smoky eye, nude lips, and a bombshell blowout make for a more overtly sexy look for Carrie.

When we meet up with Carrie at the start of the first Sex and the City movie, her bright blond hair and buxom curls make their return.

While out with the girls, she sweeps her hair into an oversize bun, which she pairs with bold brows and a subtle cat eye.

Carrie wasn't shy with the teasing comb to create this oversize (but incredibly chic) half-updo for the film.

"I put a bird on my head!" Carrie goes for a sophisticated and sleek bridal beauty look with a slick updo and a pop of red on her lips.
