Top Ten Tresses

Our Top Ten styles in the world were ranked by Hair Fans for the fifth time in a Cutting-Edge Hair News poll 12-19 August. Current as of 6 May 08:

#1 -- LISA SYLVESTER. We once declared her the "mid-length master" in a Style Profile, and this CNN correspondent has done nothing to change our opinion. Her shoulder-length style looks so natural and so perfect.

#2 - ALEXANDRA STEELE. The Weather Channel meteorologist streamlines her look a bit at times, but the "feathers of Steele" are at their best when they're unfurled and on display. She won a 2006 Crown Award.

#3 - KELLY TILGHMAN. The Golf Channel veteran is a Crown Award winner, and has a Triple Platinum Award for more than four full years on our list. Breezes which could do in other styles get stopped by her amazing long hair. (Courtesy YouTube)

#4 -- STEPHANIE DHUE. This correspondent for Nightly Business Report has impressed us for years with her pageboy variations, while finding great ways to escape close calls. She went through a Hair Watch unscathed, and has a Triple Platinum Award for more than four years on our list.

#5 - LISA JONES. This can't possibly be right - great long hair on a judge?! And she's on a Southwest Georgia juvenile court?!?! We'd want her in a TV courtroom ahead of Judge Judy any day. (Was #6; courtesy Americus, GA Times-Recorder)

#6 - SHARON VERSYP. The Purdue women's basketball team fought hard to win the Big Ten tournament, and the coach's hairstyle fights for position every bit as much. Knocking it out of line (especially those bangs) seems almost impossible. (Was #5)

#7 - CYNDI EDWARDS. Her talk show Daytime only appears in the Southeast U.S., but her strong hold and well-cut thick bangs (a look she's growing out) deserve a wider audience. (Was #9)

#8 - MARIA ELVIRA SALAZAR. A Miami TV talk show host who has impressed us for 20 years -- and now she's doing the seemingly impossible, by making her hair even more awe-striking with age. No wonder she's an Ultimate 50 member.

#9 - AMANDA DRURY. The CNBC World host is daring to grow out a shoulder-length cut which was both loose and precise. It has potential -- but like investments, it also has some risk. (Was #7; courtesy Reporter Caps)

#10 - MONICA DAY. A traffic reporter in Columbus, Ohio, who was named "Miss Congeniality" at the Miss USA pageant. Her voluminous look never seems to miss with us.

WHO'S NEW: No changes.

Top Five Men's Styles: (Alphabetical order)

JIMMY ELDER. This pastor of a large Baptist church in Georgia has such a solid style, a strong late-winter wind couldn't budge it. The hymn is "I Shall Not Be Moved."

MAX HODGES. To borrow from his description of Danny Moder at Malibu, this TMZ producer/spokesman looks like a "surfer.... who doesn't suck." He even inspired newsroom lookalikes on New Year's Day.

JOHN KERRY. He's safely in the Senate through 2008, and his hair should stay safely in line as well - as long as he doesn't botch his head the way he does some jokes.

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 five years, and you might match the style of this Pittsburgh Steeler. But the National Football League is considering hair restrictions - and our Cutting Edge Hair News voters seem ready to rule him out of bounds.

WHO'S NEW: No changes.
