Rihanna does what she wants, when she wants it and no one can tell her otherwise. The singer says she discovered herself only after chopping off her long locks and sporting a funkier short do. She insists the change in style helped her establish a sense of independence.

She says, "I felt like the whole world had long, curly, flowy blonde hair. Ciara, Beyonce, Mariah, Christina Milian. Everybody wanted to be like everybody else. So I cut my hair and they (Def Jam) made me put my long hair back in (as extensions).

"The second time, I didn't have any discussions, nothing. I just cut it, I dyed it black, I went into the studio making music my way. I found myself all at once. I like things strong, edgy, a little to the left. I don't like things that are expected - nothing cliched."

Rihanna can work any do because she has such a great sense of style, and most importantly, she works it with confidence!
