Halle Berry Takes It All Off!

Filed under: Hair Cut and Style

Just after we raved about Halle Berry's lightened locks, the 42-year-old beauty goes and chops 'em all off. Her new crop? Super short and super dark. But if anyone can pull off the all-face look, it's this foxy mama! Plus, short hair is nothing new to the Oscar-winning actress, she rocked a pixie for years.

We're thinking this is just a dress rehearsal for her most shocking cut yet -- the one involving shaving her head! Berry is set to go bald for the upcoming film "Nappily Ever After."

And while HB may go from short to long to short again without so much as a flinch, the star has a different attitude about her impending cue ball look, admitting in this month's Harper's Bazaar, "I'm scared to death. I just hope my reaction fits into the story. If it's uncontrollable screaming, it might be a different type of movie."

Stay tuned for pics of a bald Berry.

Leave a comment telling us what you think of Halle's new 'do. Plus, what should she do next? (She will be starting with a clean slate after she shaves it all off for her new movie role.)




Christo Dishes on Short Dos

    Gennifer Goodwin made a seemingly overnight tress-formation, appearing at the He's Just Not That Into You premiere on February 2 with long, wavy locks. Two days later, she rocked a straight, shoulder-grazing bob. We're loving the new do - how about you?

    Paris Hilton has joined the Katie & Posh Club, shrinking her long blonde locks into a chin-length crop. We say "shrinking" because it's hard keep tabs on the extension-fanatic's true lock length. But hey, when you have your own line of hair extensions (Hilton's line is called DreamCatchers), your chameleon-like hair length is your best advertisement. Before you follow Hilton's, lead check out what stylist to the stars Christo told StyleList about how to pull off a short do.

    Victoria Beckham: Before the Cut

    There was a time when Posh had long, flowing locks (well, extensions) before she went for her dramatic razor cut bob that kicked off the trend in Hollywood.

    Victoria Beckham: Short Do

    "Victoria has a great bob that works with her style," says Christo. "There are not too many hair textures that can pull off this look; it has to be fine and straight." One advantage of a shorter cut? "They are fun to play with and can be very versatile. Ask your stylist how to play around with styling tools to create different looks."

    Katie Holmes: Short Do

    "Katie Holmes can pull off a short cut," says Christo. "She went from a young pretty girl to a sexy woman who turns heads." But Christo warns, "Don't forget you need to be backat the salon 4-6 weeks after getting a short cut. Be prepared to put the money and time in."

    Anne Hathaway: Before the Cut

    Before she chopped her locks for her upcoming film Dancing With Shiva , Hathaway was known for her long, thick hair.

    Anne Hathaway: Short Don't

    "Anne's stylist played it safe and gave her a short bob cut. She's a very pretty girl but this look doesn't accentuate her beauty," explains Christo. "With her facial structure, I would go with a shorter cut like Selma Blair's."

Stylelist poll: Is the Pixie perky or played out?

Filed under: Hair Care, Celebrities with Style, Polls and Quizzes


Now that June is upon us, one of the best ways to fight the heat is with a shorter 'do. On the right type of face, we LOVE the Pixie cut. It is easy to maintain and looks sleek and sophisticated and can be a godsend in those summer months for people with extremely dark hair.

But if a pixie is too short, or if you don't have the type of face that supports short hair -- high cheekbones are a must -- the Pixie can be downright disastrous. Still, as more and more celebs start rocking the short hair (think Rhianna), to sheer or not to sheer becomes a big summer hair question.

So our friends at Stylelist want to know, would you get a pixie cut? Sound off by answering this week's poll and let us know in the comments what you think.
