Top Ten Tresses

Our Top Ten styles in the world were ranked by Hair Fans in a Cutting-Edge Hair News poll in August 2011. Current as of 17 Jan 12:

#1 - HEATHER COX. Natural and flowing, light and bouncy, this ESPN sideline reporter is brilliant at using well-disguised holding tricks to keep a long sidepart in line. She was on top in August - so where are the Crown Award nominations?

#2 - ALYSON FOOTER. The Social Media Director of the Houston Astros enjoyed a far better 2011 than her baseball team. Her medium-long curls tied for a Crown Award (and now are up for three more), came in second in the Cup of the Americas and earned a Gold Award for one year in the Top Ten. Read our interview! (Was #3)

#3 - MARA SCHIAVOCAMPO. Promoted from "digital reporter" to full-fledged NBC News correspondent, this new mom has medium hair has adjustably firm curl and delightful perfection. (Was #4)

#4 - LISA LaFLAMME. The new anchor of Canada's CTV National News seems to have figured out something Katie Couric and Diane Sawyer did not: perfect "anchor hair" still matters. A solidly enticing right-side flip earned her a Crown Award nomination. (Was #5)

#5 - CAROL MASSAR. The Bloomberg business news veteran seems to have ended her tryout with hair below the collarbone -- a test which nearly brought her flexing style down a couple of times. This more-controlled length earned her a Gold Award. (Was #6)

#6 - CRYSTAL EGGER. We're finally ready to admit it: the Weather Channel found an evening meteorologist with hair on a par with Alexandra Steele. It's long, often steamy and nearly always precise. (Was #9)

#7 - SUE BIRD. Seattle Storm teammates say this all-star is popular primarily because her long hair is so straight and shiny. That plus skill and athleticism earn her a Gold Award -- and her quickness in hair protection even survived a few weeks on crutches. (Was #8; courtesy Northwest Cable News)

#8 - DEBORAH HERSMAN. The chair of the National Transportation Safety Board is on a campaign to stop "distracted driving." Her short shapely style can distract Hair Fans easily - and now she seems to have added bangs. For hair safety, of course. (Was #10)

#9 - TERESA TOMLINSON. The mayor of Columbus, Georgia has thick and loose shoulder-length hair which seems to hold amazingly well in all conditions. It's held long enough to gain a Gold Award - but it was crushed in a Super-Hair War, with scarcely any support. (Was #7)

#10 - GERRI WILLIS. The Fox Business Network host has impressive layers which often are in great shape. But despite a Gold Award for one year in the Top Ten, her style came within millimeters of dropping while appearing on another Fox News program. Her Crown Award nomination saves her here for now. (Was #2)

WHO'S NEW: No changes.

Top Five Men's Styles: (Alphabetical order)

RUSSELL BRAND. If you saw this comic actor's strong curls at the 2011 Oscars, you understand why he's here. So did he get in too brutal a Super-Hair War with Katy Perry? (Courtesy Zimbio)

JOHN KERRY. The U.S. Senator in Massachusetts has a seat secured through 2014. Can any opponent knock his well-secured hair out of line?

SHAHRUKH KHAN. Some call him the "King of Bollywood," from his appearances in Indian movies and game shows. His hair is the stuff that probably drives women wild -- especially when bangs drop within millimeters of his eyes.

BELLO NOCK. Gel plus hairspray plus blowdrying equals a seven-inch high style that holds through stunt after stunt with the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey circus. We challenge any woman on this list to outlast him -- and we want to be there to see it.

TROY POLAMALU. Don't cut your hair for more than seven years, and you might match the style of this Pittsburgh Steeler all-star. There's a million-dollar insurance contract on his hair, while the ladies above him don't have one.

WHO'S NEW: No changes.
