Hair That's Hot!!!!
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 regularly, as new styles and women come our way!
NAME: Mallory Jansen
WHO IS SHE: Actress appearing from Hallmark Channel movies to TV series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.and The Big Leap
HER STYLE: Our photo shows a long center-part with rolls of waves (she's had other looks with a sidepart)
WHY WE LIKE IT: The Hair Fan who suggested her wrote: "Rich, dark color, great thickness and body." This photo, submitted to us, shows the waves play a vital role in keeping this look in line. She probably can shake it a little without it bouncing into her eyes - and we'd like to see how far she can do it.
SUPER-HAIR? We don't think so. Several "red carpet" photos show her sidepart leaning into an eye a bit too far. Yet we underatand why Hair Fans would want to give her a close look at every opportunity - even if it might mean watching another of those predictable "Hallmark Christmas" movies. [Updated 10.2.26]
NAME: Lara Vella
WHO IS SHE: News anchor for Nine Network in Perth, Australia
HER STYLE: Medium-long, with adjustable part (normally a bit off-center) and wave
WHY WE LIKE IT: This is her longest look in her 10 years at Nine News, and it's a classic and perfect style: solid round-brushed lines around the face, loose waves below them. She clearly knows how to use some strong spray for control - as she does to guard against ocean breezes when outside.
SUPER-HAIR? Close. VERY close. But not quite, in our view. Deep in her Instagram feed is the day she dropped her "mic flag" on a street, and a shorter style seemed to sneak into her left eye. But when you lie on your side on the ground and try to interview a dog - and your unpinned hair still looks unmussed - she clearly tries hard to be Super. [Updated 9.18.26]
NAME: Katie Kennedy (not to be confused with Crown Award winner Kathleen)
WHO IS SHE: Graduate student in history at Oxford University; "The History Gossip" in books, on TikTok and Instagram; host of History Crush on Sky UK
HER STYLE: Mid-length with bangs and occasional added curls
WHY WE LIKE IT: A Hair Fan praised her for having "great body and cute bangs." The bangs stay relatively loose and can get dangerously lengthy around the eyes. But they somehow stay around them at key moments, letting the rest of the style stay bouncy yet out of danger.
SUPER-HAIR? We found one clip where she's in a salon experimenting with "wasp nest" styles of the 1960s. A few strands are in her eye there. But otherwise, she knows how to keep them out. So she's a borderline no - even though she takes a very different approach from those other British history buffs we've mentioned here this year. Apparently blonde curls are not mandatory after all.

NAME: Brianne Howey
WHO IS SHE: Actress currently in the Netflix series Ginny and Georgia
HER STYLE: Medium-long center-part with adjustable wave
WHY WE LIKE IT: She stopped us (very late, we know) with this look in a Macy*s commercial. With a light wave, this style is very close to her eyes and very delicately balanced. What would a sudden wind gust do to it? We think it would show off this style's hidden hold - either that, or her skill in manuevering the hair out of trouble, which she's done often in her roles.
SUPER-HAIR? These days, we could argue for a yes. Except she played a vampire in the series The Passage in 2019, where the hair dropped at least a few times. So we reluctantly must say no - but we can understand why some Hair Fans would have this "Georgia" on their minds. [Updated 8.21.26]
NAME: Taryn Hatcher
WHO IS SHE: Sports reporter based in Philadelphia, most recently covering PBA bowling for The CW; Draft Kings spokesperson
HER STYLE: Long, center-parted with adjustable wave
WHY WE LIKE IT: Thickness. Incredible thickness. We came across her on a PBA Sunday and were stunned by it. She's not afraid to let her style bounce around - and she doesn't need to be afraid, because the strength of her hair absorbs it all. Perhaps she uses some light spray. But if she does, she does so brilliantly because it's not noticable. Headbands and tuckbacks are rare with her.
SUPER-HAIR? Awwwww... we wish. Several Instagram photos show her mass of hair drooping in an eye (especially at home). But it's easy to see why she became a fan favorite in Philly. For Hair Fans, this is an "all-day sucker" style to admire and strategize. Surely some football crew somewhere will put her on the sidelines this fall - won't they? Please?? [Updated 8.7.26]
NAME: Chey'Anne Harris
WHO IS SHE: Actress appearing in commercials, short films and Los Angeles theatre
HER STYLE: Medium-long sidepart with sweeping teasing to cascade on her right side; natural light wave
WHY WE LIKE IT: The Hair Fan who suggested her gave no explanation, but this sort of styling offers plenty of drama. She understandably uses the ear for protection and hold, but not all the time. She's not afraid to let the right-side hair rest there, almost waiting for someone to take it on. Yet it may be thick enough to absorb light winds.
SUPER-HAIR? Not at all. Her Wix profile page has several photos where the hair droops into an eye and she almost relishes in it. One of her roles was in the film Super Secret, but we don't sense any secrets to Super-hold here. [Updated 7.24.26]
NAME: Pien Meulensteen
WHO IS SHE: Soccer/football host on various sports channels, including Fox U.S. coverage of FIFA World Cup and Sky Sports for Premier League season
HER STYLE: Medium-long, parted slightly off-center with added wave
WHY WE LIKE IT: The wave isn't that sizeable around the eyes, but it's critical for her hair to hold. It's probably sprayed into position, which is sufficient for studio work. A windy stadium may be another matter. Hair Fans would want to head for the "touch line" and meet this woman, although touching the hair probably would bring a counter-attack.
SUPER-HAIR? She kept it tied back a lot during the 2026 Cup. But photos we checked online indicate it currently is. There's one Instagram photo from 2013 (in her teens) with hair in her right eye. But that's the perhaps-experimental exception, not her rule. Fox Sports keeps finding fine hairstyles overseas, and this native of the Netherlands is the latest example. Her X/Twitter profile says she's "mostly heard, sometimes seen". Can we change that, please? [Updated 7.10.26]
NAME: Melanie Zanona
WHO IS SHE: Capitol Hill Correspondent for NBC News; formerly with CNN, Politico and The Hill
HER STYLE: Mid-length and straight with full bangs
WHY WE LIKE IT: If you couldn't guess, it's because of her bangs. They're quite well developed, cover the forehead completely and look like they can handle any kind of challenge. Our outdoor vidcap from Miami also shows slight angling of the bang length around her eyes. That implies there isn't much room for error; if she tries to move her main bangs away from a wind threat, the sides could be in trouble. So this hair has to hold to be at its best - and she seems to take care so it does exactly that.
SUPER-HAIR? From what we've seen, yes. It's a very rare day with something overpowers these strong bangs enough to expose even part of the forehead. The long hair might come forward, but it doesn't collapse the style because the bangs are that well cut. That sort of perfection can be dramatic - and she impresses, because she makes it work. She's not on the main network enough for us. [Updated 6.26.26]
