Check Out Chris Brown's Wild Hair Evolution

Since his memorable debut in 2005, we’ve watched Chris Brown's unique fashion sense (and hair) evolve from one unapologetic style to the next. Regardless of public opinion, the 27-year-old has confidently rocked everything from a bleach blonde Caesar in 2011 to turquoise hair last year. CB’s latest transformation—Kriss Kross-esque braids—remind us that for this style chameleon, hair is just another outlet for self-expression.  Click through to see how many twists and turns Chris Brown's hair evolution has made.
