OK if we're going to count things-that-are-essentially-the-same, I make it nine hairstyles in the past 20 years:
Hair completely loose Hair loose but with a couple of clips Ponytail Pigtail (ponytail with the 'tail' plaited) Proper plait, not tied like a ponytail at the top Ponytail twisted up into a bun & held with a scrunchie Pigtail twisted up into a bun & held with a scrunchie Ironic bunches Ironic plaits
I also once tried to do a plaited-at-the-sides-and-then-into-a-bun thing for the May Ball in my first year at Oxford, it looked a bit rubbish but since I wasn't one of the Beautiful People nobody cared, & I still had fun and didn't have to spend £100+ on my hairdo like everybody else seemed to be doing. :-) Anyway I'm not going to count that one because it was a one-off and it didn't really work!
