For the April cover of W, Jennifer Aniston took a step away from her girl-next-door image for one seriously sultry shoot.
Jennifer's famous locks were coiffed by her long-time stylist Chris McMillan, who told W that the secret behind the actress's tousled tresses was dirt—literally. "It's not her typical blown-out hairstyle," he said. "It's a little rougher. We liked seeing the flyaways." After the first day of the shoot, McMillan allowed Jennifer's hair to dry naturally curly, refining it from there. For day two, photographer Steven Klein asked that Jennifer come prepared with unwashed hair. "We left her hair dirty. It just created a nice chunky texture," McMillan said.
What do you think of the result? Personally I think she looks HOT so 'scuse me if I arrive sans the shampoo tomorrow . . .
I have NO idea why Taylor Swift doesn't bust out the straighteners more often. I think she nails the straight, dishevelled hair look. Especially with the fringe benefits that she had going on for US Elle's latest shoot. I know the ringlets are her signature style but she looks less curly cutesy, more straight up sexbomb after some one-on-one time with the ghd's, don't you think?
As Pop would say, it's all over red rover for Lara Bingle and Michael Clarke. The nation's been waiting with baited breath to see if the Aussie Posh and Becks would split after a crazy fortnight of nude photo scandals, old affairs and some seriously public airing of dirty laundry. We called it in the office as soon as Michael flew back from NZ. Mess with the cricket, mess with the country. Not the wisest move. But, me, I'm most interested in how it's going to affect Lara's hair. No longer safe in the WAG domain, will she ditch her tousled beach waves for a blunt bob à la Abbie Cornish? Or handle humiliation with a lob like Anne Hathaway? Perhaps mixing up her colour like Lily Allen may be in order? Or she could follow in Reese Witherspoon's footsteps and get some breakup bangs? Here's hoping it's not a shaved head like Brit. But then again, she might surprise us all and go for the dignified Team Aniston approach and refuse to get a breakup makeover. Spoilsport. Which do you think it'll be?
Models loved the sexy, loose tousled hair they wore for Chloé Spring 2010 so it was a tough act for head stylist Guido Palau to follow this season. But the “gorgeous, bouncy hair” that he sent down the runways certainly left me coveting. It screamed luxurious, almost-unobtainable glamour, ensuring that it'll top the list of lusted-after FW looks. The don't-touch-what-you-can't-afford hair needed two rounds of blow-drying for that movement, according to WWD. The style needed a “very finished” makeup look, according to head artist Charlotte Tilbury, which consisted of slate-grey eyes and an apricot-hued lip. I love the rich-girl look; what do you think?

That's the question I've been asking myself recently. Because, in your eyes, Kristen Stewart’s the best thing since sliced bread.
I get it. I mean, Twilight, right. I've seen the movie. I've wanted to be Bella. (The other one.) But is her overwhelming popularity simply a by-product of us struggling to separate Miss Swan from Miss Stewart? Or is it a whole lot more?
On paper she's a young, attractive actress who has the world at her feet. She's part of the biggest franchise since Harry Potter; she's dating the world's most-lusted after man; designers are vying to dress her; makeup gurus are on-hand to primp her; yet still she's kept herself to herself, seemingly awkward with the spotlight shining so brightly on her.
Here you have a girl who wears Cons to an awards show, who has no issue with sporting a mullet, who has become the poster girl for pale. So is that it? Is it her refusal to bow down to Hollywood pressure, to be like everyone else, to be predictable; is this what makes us love her? You tell me, what is it about Kristen Stewart...
I really don't know how Karl Lagerfeld does it. As well as being Creative Director for both Chanel and Fendi, he has his own label and he's a photographer. Not to mention an A-list bestie. Lindsay Lohan, Alexa Chung, Vanessa Paradis and Beth Ditto showed up to his Paris shows. The Karl Lagerfeld collection, which debuted first, featured giant, teased up 'dos, crafted in the style of Brigitte Bardot (again?), pvc-style headbands and Fab's favourite lip shade, MAC Lady Danger, which was given a glossy finish with Clear Lipglass. Chanel A/W '10 also featured high-drama hair, but it was styled into a mushroom shape. Against the glacial backdrop, the models' dark eyes captured your attention. The Chanel smoky eye featured smudged, almost haphazard application of black/grey shadows that were extended up and out towards the brow bone and temple and liner in adjacent angles of the eye. It certainly looked eerily stunning. Which look do you prefer: Karl Lagereld or Chanel?
The ebony wigs that graced the A/W '10 Lanvin catwalks reminded me of Selma Blair's hair from back in the day. I guess they're also like Cleopatra-meets-Leigh-Lezark-meets-Mr-Shine. I like them. Which is bad. I'm meant to be embracing my Alexa/Kate Beckinsale hair, not coveting my long-lost fringe. Luckily I don't have nearly as much desire to turn myself into a "mannequin," the term that Pat McGrath used to describe the makeup look. Personally I'd say goth smoky eye summed it up better. Do you like it? How about the wigs? Do tell . . .

Kate Winslet's being quite the darling of 2010 Awards season so far, turning up to all four of the major events (L-R: the Globes, the SAGs, the BAFTAs and the Oscars). And while I loved her BAFTAs curls, there is simply no getting away from how awesome she looked at yesterday's Oscars. She could've actually passed for an Old Hollywood screen siren, don't you think? Absolute stunning. Is it your best look? Or not?
Before she stepped out for the Vanity Fair Oscars Afterparty, Nexxus Creative Director, Kevin Mancuso, gave Nat this pretty up 'do with face-framing curl.
While Natalie's hair was wet, Mancuso worked a volumising spray gel from roots to ends. He then blew her hair dry with a paddle brush, lifting at the roots. While her hair was still warm, he transferred one-inch sections onto Velcro rollers. He let the rollers cool completely, then took them out and tousled her hair with a bit of smoothing lotion.
Next, Mancuso took out a one-inch front section of hair, pulled the rest back into a ponytail, and used bobby pins to create a soft chignon. To polish the look, he used a flat iron to smooth the front curl and help position hair around Natalie's face. Finally, he set the style with a light misting of hairspray.
The Vanity Fair afterparty is known for being the hot ticket in town post-ceremony so no wonder many-a-celeb chose to head straight there.
Stars including Natalie Portman, Abbie Cornish and Katy Perry wowed us with their gowns and gorgeous hair and makeup styles.
