If I added up all the time I’ve spent washing, drying, curling, styling, spraying, cutting, coloring, discussing, obsessing, loving, hating, and debating my hair, surely it would add up to . . . more time than I care to admit. I’ve had all lengths (mostly long) and all colors (mostly blonde) over the years. Each style tells a story.
December 2007 (long, blonde). Just married and oh, so in love!
May 2008 (short, blonde). Ready for a “change” and chopped it to my shoulders.
June 2009 (medium, brunette). Getting tired of appointments with the colorist and decided it would be better to just do a solid brunette to avoid all that maintenance.
May 2010 (pony tail always, blondish). Bummed to discover that the brunette also required maintenance, and faded so quickly, so . . . going back to blonde- but in the Houston heat, pony tails work best.
“Hair” Academy Awards
In my Academy Awards of hair, those shown below would be my winners. I often wonder if it’s the hair or the gorgeous face that makes the women look so beautiful. I’m sure it’s a combination of both.
Best Short- Halle Berry. This is how I like her best. She rocks it like nobody’s business.
Best Long- Olivia Palermo. Looks shiny and healthy and perfectly sunkissed.

Best Bald- Natalie Portman. Are you serious? She looks fabulous!
Best Super Blonde- Jessica Simpson. A blonde bombshell.
Best Red- Julianne Moore. Super sexy.
Best Brunette- Jessica Alba. She’s done a lot of colors, but rich brown is my favorite on her.
Best Bang- Reece Witherspoon. A classic beauty.
Best Waves- Gisele Bundchen
Best Curls- Kim Kardashian
Best All Around- Jennifer Aniston. Just looks effortless and gorgeous always. Beautiful color always. I don’t know how she gets it so super-straight. Remember the really early days of Friends- naturally curly??
Who’s got your favorite hair?
Hands down Nancy O'Dell. Have always envied her hair. I took her picture to my stylist and said I want the brunette version of THIS!
ReplyDeleteWow you look great as a brunette too! You could pull off many looks very easily. I do love Jen Aniston of course and Reese's bangs. Reese always has great hair. I tried to have bangs like that and yea, it didn't work. I look stupid with them.
ReplyDeleteMy hair is in a clippy. Every single day. :)
Had the super blond with bangs like Reese for a long time. Now it's grown out, wavy, and dark blondish... going for the Giselle look. I love ALL of your picks. I agree that Jen Aniston's hair always looks great. Such a natural "California girl" beauty.
ReplyDeleteI feel ya about the ponytail. I think it's a mom in the summertime thang. ;)
I change my hair all the time too. I was blonde for two years and for my wedding, then went brunette shortly after; now, a year later I'm blonde again! :)
ReplyDeleteI used to change my color a lot too. The past 2 years I've kinda settled on the idea that brown is best on me and why fix what's not broken?! Now I just mess with the style (bangs, curls, braids, etc.).
ReplyDeleteI love Olivia's hair too! It always looks so perfect! I'd like to be a fly on the wall while she dries and styles it!

If you took Reese Witherspoon and compared her hair styles to mine you'd find that...well, she looks awesome and I just try to copy her!
ReplyDeleteOh I definitely have to agree with Jennifer Aniston. She has THE BEST HAIR all the time. She always looks gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI'd give my right arm to have her hair. LOL
I agree with all you "best of..." hair awards!! I covet Gisele's waves!! :)

ReplyDeleteOk, you are so supermodel. I love you blonde...but I'm a blonde, it's what I know! Jessica is THE definition of bombshell blonde.

ReplyDeleteEvery hairdo you've sported was awesome! Mines been blonde... blonde... oh! and the same ol' blonde! It's naturally this light and I would love to play brunette for a while but blonde roots would look like I were going bald. And that's no bueno :)
