Hair That's Hot!!!!

#HotList

This section examines the best celebrity styles Hair Fans have seen lately - posted here even before they hit the Top Ten or enter a Super-Hair War. We update our Hot List often, as new styles and women come our way!

NAME: Georgia Salpa

WHO IS SHE: As defined by Wikipedia, "Ireland's premier glamour model" (but actually born in Greece)

HER STYLE: Center-parted and long, usually with a hint of waviness

WHY WE LIKE IT: "Her richly dark, lush, thick hair is ALL good," declared the Hair Fan who suggested her. In fact, some have compared her to Kim Kardashian when it comes to hair and facial appearance. But we think the added bit of wave gives this woman a slight advantage when it comes to style control. (And she's a model first, so she probably knows some hair-holding secrets.)

SUPER-HAIR? We don't think so, since a quick search found a few pictures where she brushed her hair to practically cover one eye. But hair this attractive from a Greek native reminds us 2012 is a Super-Hair EuroCup year, and Greece is the defending champion. Should she be in the field -- and who can top her? [Posted 1/27/12]

NAME: Anna Gilligan

WHO IS SHE: Host at the instructional business channel "Meet the Boss," but probably better known as a former host on Fox Business Network

HER STYLE: We were drawn to a photo from Fox News's Red Eye showing long arching straight hair, which apparently is her current look; she's had wavier and slightly shorter styles as well.

WHY WE LIKE IT: She was an after-the-deadline submission for our 2011 Crown Awards, from a Hair Fan who we think was drawn by several things. The perfect lines in her long hair are undeniable. But the key is how well the style holds from the nose up....

....and when she tilted her head to make a point, the hold seemed very strong. We conclude she must use some kind of spray to keep this style in line. If not, there's a hair mystery simply waiting to be uncovered.

SUPER-HAIR? Our online check found no real flaws, not even with seemingly weaker preparation in outdoor appearances. So as far as we know, this is a Super-style - but it's too bad she left a hosting position at Fox. Her current job leaves Gilligan on an island which is hard for Hair Fans to find. [Posted 1/13/12]

NAME: Alice Greczyn

WHO IS SHE: Actress seen most recently in the cable TV series The Lying Game

HER STYLE: Long center-part -- appearing sleek and straight in her latest series; sometimes displaying wave and curl

WHY WE LIKE IT: "Check out the amazing body and waves," a Hair Fan wrote. Amazing, indeed -- and she adds to our amazement by seeming to realize her hair is a tremendous asset. We found several pictures where she posed holding it at the very brink of an eye. Yet she cares enough about hair control that straight styles always seem to have something added for "try to beat this" hold - whether it's all placed behind her shoulders, teased or heat-straightened.

SUPER-HAIR? We would love to say yes -- but we'd be playing our own "lying game" if we did. One steamy photo shoot showed her thick long hair covering her left eye. Seductive for some -- the end of hair drama and excitement for us. But her hair absolutely is worth watching. [Posted 12/28/11]

NAME: Joy Mangano

WHO IS SHE: Salesperson/entrepreneur on Home Shopping Network, offering everything from "Miracle Mops" to sneakers; inventor claiming dozens of patents; restaurant owner in metro New York

HER STYLE: Rounded sidepart stopping a bit below the shoulders; currently without bangs, although she's shown them at times

WHY WE LIKE IT: "She has awesome hair in anyone's opinion," wrote the Hair Fan who suggested her. The critical right side (from her view) certainly seems to defy gravity, holding strongly while very close to her right eye. We don't see any hairspray on her list of inventions, but we think she's found a good one.

SUPER-HAIR? It might get weak at times outside, but we haven't found any evidence her style has collapsed. We thank this Hair Fan for reminding us outstanding styles pop up from time to time on shopping channels -- and looking through the window is absolutely free. [Posted 12/14/11]

NAME: Carly Foulkes

WHO IS SHE: Canadian model, best known for appearing in T-Mobile ads in the U.S.

HER STYLE: A bit below shoulder-length, always loose and seemingly with a bit of natural wave

WHY WE LIKE IT: Her hair is thick and inviting enough to earn not "4-G" from us, but four stars. And she seems to know it....

....because we found one public appearance where she pulled all that hair in front of her shoulders. It stayed in line beautifully, as it always seems to do. And she makes sure there's space around her face, in case something tries to move her style around.

SUPER-HAIR? If all you've seen is her T-Mobile work, you'd probably say yes. But we found a Spanish-language edition of Elle magazine where a bit of her long thick hair appeared to droop inside her left eye. That's too bad - but Hair Fans still have much to admire here. And they're probably quietly happy T-Mobile's proposed merger with AT&T didn't go through. [Posted 12/2/11]

NAME: Lauren Gibbemeyer

WHO IS SHE: Pro volleyball player for "Toyota Auto Body Club" in Kariya, Japan; middle blocker for the U.S. women's team, named best blocker at the 2011 Pan American Games

HER STYLE: Sleek straight long off-center part, reaching the bustline last time we checked (the length has varied over the years)

WHY WE LIKE IT: We first noticed this woman when she was a collegiate All-American at Minnesota; in fact, she was second in a BMOC vote in 2009 and passed the first round in a 2007 City League contest. In every case, her hair had perfect line and daring position near her right eye. She's kept that attractive style on inviting display for years. But reaching for it wouldn't be easy -- not only because she's athletic, but her height of six-foot-two and her eight-foot reach could block any approach.

SUPER-HAIR? Until we see proof this style has dropped for a "kill," we're believing it is. There are a lot of good things going for this hair - stunning to see, high risk in its approach, yet on a woman with size (and probably brainpower) advantages. This is why U.S. pro volleyball needs to make a quick comeback, and the London Olympics can't come soon enough. [Posted 11/17/11]

NAME: Shannon Pettypiece

WHO IS SHE: Reporter with Bloomberg News

HER STYLE: Chin-length like a bob, but with round-brushing (and we think spray) used to design the look and provide plenty of space around her face.

WHY WE LIKE IT: A Hair Fan offered her as "beautiful hair.... worthy of inclusion." No reason was given beyond that, but the key to our interest (and her success or failure style-wise) is in her right side of the cut. She's used several approaches to securing that side - and round and lifted in our photo to pageboy style and close to the eye. From what we've seen, every approach she tries seems to work solidly.

SUPER-HAIR? Our online search found no flaws in her styles on the set, so for now the answer is yes. She faces stiff hair competition at her own channel from Carol Massar (Top Ten Tresses member) and the oft-gorgeous Gigi Stone. You tell us - is it time for this business reporter's stock to rise in value? [Posted 11/4/11]

NAME: Victoria Justice

WHO IS SHE: Teenage singer starring in the Nickelodeon series Victorious

HER STYLE: Long and moderately thick; usually straight with a center part, but often adjusted (even with bangs at times)

WHY WE LIKE IT: We saw her photo on a product being sold at Wal-Mart with a look similar to our photo - rolls of curl from the chin down. We swooned, as many teenage guys probably have. Many Hair Fans of all ages would want to reach for a soft look like this, then try to play with those curls all day - perhaps distracted to the point that they wouldn't think about aiming higher, to flick her hair into her eyes.

SUPER-HAIR? Without added curl, you'd think Victorious hair like this would be doomed to defeat. But we had to go through a lot of pictures -- and happily we went through a lot -- before we found one with a strip of sideparted hair drooping across her left eye. (And that strip apparently was set there on purpose for a photo shoot.) We're delighted to see teenagers like her working hard to display great styles, to delight the next generation of Hair Fans.
