Does Super-Hair run in families? We suspect it can - but it should be displayed in the mother first. Cindy Crawford and daughter Kaia Gerber come to mind; we've brought them together a few times here in recent years. Another example can be found in west Texas. Krista Escamilla is the Odessa City League champion and #1 in Top Ten Tresses as we post this. Her daughter, Alexandra, is our Best Mane on Campus this term at Lubbock Christian University. They have similar long styles - and that led us to wonder. What if mother and daughter somehow battled each other in a Super-Hair War?
We'll let you dream about how this "Family Fight" (not feud; that name is taken) might happen. But our week-long first-of-its-kind showdown found Hair Fans siding with mom. Krista crushed Alexandra by a two-thirds margin (4-2). No one left a comment about either woman, but we must assume that mother knows best - and she taught her child well, even about hair.

The unofficial "Brec Girl" of Super-Hair is Brec Bassinger. She's a Crown Award winner and seven-time nominee for her superhero role in Stargirl - all because of medium-long hair with adjustable waves that could stay strong during tough fights. With that CW series concluded, Bassinger did something confusing when she traveled to Las Vegas in October 2024. She posted Instagram photos with a shoulder-length bob - making no big deal of it, with later pictures indicating the length had returned.
If Bassinger is trying to look more mature at age 25, is this the right way to do it? Our voters say no: 83% of them in a one-week poll prefer the longer locks (5-1). "One of the most gorgeous heads of hair in Hollywood," one Hair Fan commented, "and she does that to it!" Hut as we said, Bsseinger apparently didn't do it for long. Maybe our superhero was attempting to disguise her true identity, for some reason?!

She was not a nominee. She didn't even take the stage to present an award. But Emma Stone has become one of those women who gets attention at a red-carpet event simply by showing up. Stone stepped out at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards with a look which surprised a lot of people. Instead of the mid-length red hair which has become her standard, Stone had a pixie cut. Online reports confirmed she shaved her head during the fall of 2024 in the U.S. for a role in the upcoming movie Bugonia.
Stone has changed her hair for films before - such as when she played tennis legend Billie Jean King. But her changes never have excited Hair Fans. And as we expected, the longer look had much more support - 88% in our one-week poll (7-1). "I’ve never thought of her as that attractive," one voter admitted, "and the short hair confirms it." But at least Stone kept the hair red; changing colors were voted down here several times in the past. And as for that movie role: do space aliens have red hair - or something else?

Had it been scheduled two days later, the show probably would have been postponed. But the 2025 Golden Globe Awards happened hours before parts of southern California started burning due to wildfires. So the party went on in Beverly Hills, with a few surprises. One of them was a "Best Female Actor" award for Demi Moore and her role in The Substance. Many Hair Fans say Moore's mane has been "substantial" for decades - so much so that she's a Crown Award winner and a Hall of Fame member. So it was probably no surprise that Moore was voted the best hairstyle of the night.
Moore's long brunette hair (which included a flip as she accepted her award) piled up 62% of the votes in one one-week post-awards poll. Then came a tie: 12% each for Jennifer Coolidge, emcee Nikki Glaser and "other." If "NOTA" left as a comment was the "other," we didn't understand it.
But we clearly understood another comment about two women who received no votes: "Did you really think Viola Davis and Catherine O'Hara had a chance to win here?" Well, we never know if we don't post them - but top-flight styles admittedly were hard to find at this show. Tiebacks and pindowns (see Ariana Grande) don't get women on our ballots.

A classic movie and song of the early 1980s spoke of Endless Love. For some women, it also was a time of seemingly endless layers in their hair - something many Hair Fans loved as well. So it was logical when one Hair Fan made that connection to a style change by Fox Sports and Westwood One reporter Laura Okmin. After years of long, mostly straight looks, Okmin broke the sideline mold for the 2024-25 National Football League season with a layered shoulder-length cut.
But the Hair Fan who made the connection with history did not seem thrilled by what we posted: "Did she just come from a party... in 1980?" Indeed, every voter in our week-long poll said Okmin overdid it and should have long hair again (6-0). "Looks awful now!" one remarked. Another blamed "illness perhaps," even though Okmin made the big cut in mid-2024. But we see no reason for Okmin to fire her stylist on "Black Monday." Layered looks from the 80s could be spectacular, if prepared well. The look above looks attractive to us. And if Okmin is starting a "retro" trend, we want to see it.
