Julia Roberts - We Want Her Hair!

Filed under: Hair Cut and Style

Julia's still making waves! Photo: Ray Tamarra, Getty Images

The StyleList office was buzzing when this picture of Julia Roberts surfaced. The star looked absolutely stunning (especially her hair) as she paid a visit to the "Late Show with David Letterman" yesterday.

Seriously, does this woman age?


To achieve loose and natural waves a la Roberts, Rodney Cutler of NYC's Cutler Salon offers the following tips:

  • First, spray a heat protectant onto damp hair and comb through.
  • Next, use a product like Redken Spray Starch for hold and blow-dry hair, using your fingers to loosen curls or waves (you can blow-dry hair straight if it's very curly). Once hair is dry, part it in the center.
  • Then, starting in the back, use a medium to large barrel curling iron and wrap sections of hair while holding iron vertically. When you reach the sides and front of hair, roll the iron away from your face so curls sweep outward.
  • To finish, gently comb through curls with your fingers to loosen.

Scalp a Celebrity and Wear Her Hair!

Celebrity hair: Are there two less innocent words in the English language?

Think of Drew Barrymore's crazy Angie Dickinson-'do at the Golden Globes. Taking into account not only all the product which went into that thing, but also the ink and the trees and bloggers' server hours that were devoted to writing about it, that single coif probably had a carbon footprint the size of Duluth.

But admit it, you wondered what you'd look like under all that Aqua Net, didn't you?

Now, through the miracle of the Internet, you can scalp a celebrity (figuratively) and try on some of those Hollywood locks yourself. Daily Makeover is a web site that allows you to upload your own picture and transport the hair styles of stars like Rihanna, Halle Berry and of course Miss Barrymore right onto your head. And you can also try on virtual make-up.

It's the perfect place for a bit of girly fun, and also your husband's drag queen fantasies. I hope he looks better in Drew's hair than I did.

Kate's Spikey Hair - A 'Do or Don't?

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Hair Cut and Style

Out of nowhere, it seems like everybody is obsessed with the Gosselins. Kate Gosselin from TLC's wildly successful Jon & Kate Plus 8 is rapidly approaching cultural icon status. And as it goes with most celebs du jour, her personal style, particularly her hair, is creating a lot of buzz (pun intended). At a signing for her new book Eight Little Faces, Kate showed up with a bold new style that's sure to get people talking -- but do we like it?

The cut reminds us of two things right off the bat: Victoria Beckham's hair circa 2007 and the kind of playfully rebellious, business in the front and party in the back attitude of a mullet (but a little more tasteful). We even think there's a little bit of Suze Orman in there.

Whatever it is, it's definitely on the opposite end of the spectrum from the wildly popular Palin hairdo. According to what Kate told Entertainment Weekly, her feisty new 'do is a major success:

Is Kate's do wacky and weird or hip and cool?

Most women have learned certain beauty tricks that keep them from looking older than they are (or looking their age, as the case may be).

However, that's not always the case.
