NAME: Amy Yasbeck
WHO IS SHE: Actress, but perhaps better known recently as the widow of John Ritter
HER STYLE: Usually straight, shoulder to armpit length, parted in various spots around the center; waviness can be added for variety
WHY WE LIKE IT: The Hair Fan who nominated her didn't give an explanation - but we admit admiring her looks for some time. The red color and sleekness remind us quite a bit of Marcia Cross. Yet her hair seems to have more thickness, which works in her favor for control. She also knows how to use her ears and shoulders to put the hair well back from her eyes, when conditions call for it - and the occasional added waves help with that as well.
SUPER-HAIR? We watched her closely in the news in recent years, and thought about making her a Top Ten contender. But we recall seeing an outdoor moment or two when a breeze shoved a strip of hair across her face. From what we can tell, she tries to guard against that. And she succeeds most of the time - just simply not quite all. [Courtesy Filmmagic; posted 3/28/8]
NAME: Victoria Warren
WHO IS SHE: TV news reporter in Boston
HER STYLE: Rounded, neck-length, parted slightly off-center
WHY WE LIKE IT: A Hair Fan found several cuts he/she called "fantastic" at this TV station -- and included this woman with Sorboni Banerjee (see below). We actually think this style has improved since she moved from Jacksonville and trimmed several inches. A formerly limp look now seems easier to handle and maintain.
SUPER-HAIR? We personally doubt it, unless she pulls the left side behind her ear on a regular basis. Otherwise, she'd need to pour on the spray for hold. But what is it about the hairstyles in Boston? We've come to see the cuts there are as competitive as the sports teams - and we thank you for tipping us off to another contender. [Posted 3/13/8]
NAME: Erin Ovalle
WHO IS SHE: TV news reporter in Pensacola, FL
HER STYLE: A chin-length sidepart, with hair tucked behind the right ear for safety
WHY WE LIKE IT: A Gulf Coast Hair Fan asked us what we thought of this style. We said it had potential - and after seeing a couple of video clips at her station's web site, we think that even more. The obvious key to success or failure here is how well she can keep hair behind that ear.
When a "Gulf Breeze" comes up (check a map for why that's in quotes), the
pressure is on. Yet this style seems to hold well, despite blowing back a bit. We're assuming there's
no hidden pin to keep that right side in place. And if a dangerous crosswind develops, the shortness
of the cut and the wideness of the tuck might not allow hair on that side to come up in her face.
SUPER-HAIR? From what we saw online, it is - and we wish her station would make it easier for us to find her reports, so we can give a more definitive answer. A sidepart this short can be hard to keep on the ear and out of trouble. If she's found a secret to success, we'd want to see it in action. It looks like Pensacola short-style queen Mollye Barrows might have some competition. [Posted 2/21/8]
NAME: Jane King
WHO IS SHE: Financial reporter for Bloomberg News (formerly with CNN)
HER STYLE: Shoulder-length, with waviness all around - and especially on her left side
WHY WE LIKE IT: She's never been afraid of placing her hair very close to the left eye, because she's been skilled at keeping it in position. If she used bangs to do that once upon a time, she doesn't seem to do that now - and the natural thickness of her hair allows her to turn it away from the face with attractive softness, yet strong hold.
SUPER-HAIR? From what we've seen of her, yes. She shows up at the New York Stock Exchange before 5:00 a.m. with her hair in place and ready to go -- and it seems to hold over the long haul. Bloomberg put her in the chair Nicole Petallides (a 2007 Hot List member) used to have, and the bosses seem to know what Hair Fans like. [Photo courtesy XETV; posted 2/8/8]
NAME: Sorboni Banerjee
WHO IS SHE: TV news reporter in Boston
HER STYLE: Shoulder-length with a bit of layering close to the face; can be round-brushed or tucked behind the ears for safety (our picture actually shows a bit of both)
WHY WE LIKE IT: A Hair Fan who noticed Frances Rivera on this list thought this co-worker has a "fantastic 'do" as well. Our quick online search found it's actually been grown out since her days at Boston University -- but she's always seemed to keep it on the softly attractive side.
SUPER-HAIR? This is a tough call, since we haven't seen her on the air at all. If she sprays the right side of her style on windy days, it has the potential -- but that spray probably would be a must, to keep it out of her face. Thanks for another good head of hair, from an area which has proven to have many! [Posted 1/24/8]
NAME: Cyndi Edwards
WHO IS SHE: Co-host of Tampa-based talk show Daytime
HER STYLE: Neck-to-shoulder length, sideparted with bangs and occasionally added waves at the tips
WHY WE LIKE IT: It's a well-cut style with plenty of maneuverability. Her hair is at it's best when it's thick and full, because that allows for some flexing movement. We say "some" because this style really doesn't show much, unless it has to. And bang-lovers can admire how she can sweep them aside, or drop them dangerously near her eyes across the forehead.
SUPER-HAIR? There may have been a morning or two when the long hair on the sides crept in too close to an eye -- but overall, she keeps this hair in position and sharp-looking very well. Not many cities show her program -- and if yours doesn't, it's a Hair Fan's loss. [Posted 1/11/8]
