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: Paige Drummond
WHO IS SHE: Ranch hand in Oklahoma, though she claims Dallas is home; daughter of "Pioneer Woman"/entrepreneur Ree Drummond
HER STYLE: Currently very long, center-parted (or close to it) with added waves
WHY WE LIKE IT: This woman is sure to get Hair Fans' attention at the county fair or rodeo, and not only because her shade is bright blonde. It might be in a ponytail while she's doing chores, but when it's let loose she almost dares onlookers to give it a close look (if not more). She must do something to the left side of the style, because she tilts her head to her right for photos often without a collapse. (Is it oil, or something else?)
SUPER-HAIR? It's close, but we're saying no. A couple of social media photos seem to show the left side dropping an inch too far into her eye. But she's proof great hair can run in families - even if Mom's style seems to be stronger. [Posted 9.6.24]
NAME: Debra Alfarone
WHO IS SHE: Anchor for Gray Television's "Local News Now" streaming service; speaking coach and podcast host
HER STYLE: Medium-long sidepart swept over the crown with added waves
WHY WE LIKE IT: This style beautifully makes Hair Fans change their focus. Our vidcap from a preview of the April 2024 solar eclipse shows a tempting S-curl near her right eye. But to do something to that curl, you'll probably have to break through the combed-over crown (likely supported with spray). The curl-crown combination results in a right side that can bounce when touched, but strongly stops there.
SUPER-HAIR? While this style is tough, we must say no. An Instagram post from April 2023 shows no S-curl at all with hair covering an eye. It probably was taken at home. We'd be thrilled to see her hair at its best, back at her old stomping ground of The White House with a breeze blowing. [Posted 8.23.24]
NAME: Jasmine Tookes
WHO IS SHE: Fashion model based in California; former "angel" for Victoria's Secret
HER STYLE: Medium-long, parted slightly off-center, normally straight but perhaps naturally curly
WHY WE LIKE IT: This head of hair can be styled many ways, and on her many of the styles look great. An InStyle photo spread for the Paris Olympics showed the hair mostly sleek and elegant, but leaving you wishing for a breeze to push it off her ears and shoulders. Yet if that happened, the thickness of her hair would take over so it still looks tremendous even if slightly messy.
SUPER-HAIR? Unlike some supermodels of the past, we must say no. She's openly posed with a strip of hair in an eye, and even posted a video playfully throwing her curls around. Yet she's become this generation's version of Ultimate 50 member Naomi Campbell - a Black model with hair we want to see unleashed often. [Posted 8.9.24]
NAME: Lily O'Shea Becker
WHO IS SHE: TV news reporter in Kansas City
HER STYLE: Mid-length straight center-part; she seems to prefer the look in our vidcap, with sections tucked behind the ears
WHY WE LIKE IT: This looks so complex that it calls for analysis. Tiny strips closest to the forehead frame her face. Then wider segments go behind the ears, with long hair both outside and inside them. The result is a tuck-back nestled in protection (as in ears well-hidden), yet looking like the slightest touch will bring disaster. At its best, this is a soft-looking, beauty-before-business style that probably holds better than you'd expect.
SUPER-HAIR? We haven't seen her much, but we doubt it. She's had evenings when hair has fallen off an ear (peraps revealing it's sprayed) and the closest strands almost have blown into her eyes. But the Kansas City area has a history of impressive strong styles, from Anne Peterson and Laurie Everett to Meredith Hoenes. So we give her credit for trying to break the "TV mold" with something Hair Fans really would want to watch. [Posted 7.26.24]
NAME: Ella Purnell
WHO IS SHE: Actress appearing in TV series such as Fallout and TV movies such as Sweetpea
HER STYLE: She changes it often, but we were struck by this promotional photo for Fallout with mid-length straight hair and what appears to be "curtain bangs"
WHY WE LIKE IT: The bangs were shorter in other roles she's played. Here, they're cut at angles on either side so the shortest ones don't dip below her eyebrows. But the tension here comes in trying to bring the longer strands in for a collapse. The bangs don't seem to be sprayed, so they're very vulnerable.
SUPER-HAIR? Spoiler alert... no. Vidcaps of Fallout posted online show a breeze bringing the long bangs and even her longer hair to the front, practically flipping the hair into her face. We can't imagine the eyes (our standard for a fall) escaped that. But if she's looking for a battle from this photo, many Hair Fans probably are ready to provide one. [Posted 7.12.24]
NAME: Jules Breach
WHO IS SHE: Studio host for Fox Sports at the "Euro2024" soccer tournament (please do not confuse it with the Super-Hair EuroCup); formerly with Channel 4 and TNT Sports in Britain
HER STYLE: Bust-length with natural or added light waves
WHY WE LIKE IT: This hair can be as well-conditioned as any soccer star. In a thick mode like this studio pose, she seems ready to take on all challengers for as long as 90 minutes. Tuckbacks behind the ears can bail her out, but she doesn't seem to do that with her hair a lot.
SUPER-HAIR? Officially, yes; we found no signs of a drop in a photo search. But we give her a yellow card, because she's clearly had some narrow escapes in Britain. She's so high-risk that we think the woman she replaced, Kate Abdo (see below), could beat her in a Super-Hair War. Can Netflix schedule something like that for us, the way it's doing for hot dog eating? [Posted 6.28.24]
NAME: Victoria Monet
WHO IS SHE: R&B singer of songs such as Alright
HER STYLE: Her real length could be debated, but we think it's the one in our photo from Naturally Curly - teased back into a long pseudo-sidepart with curls
WHY WE LIKE IT: The more you look at these curls, the closer you want to get to them. Some strands have three full curly twists to savor. She has good reason to put them on display in videos and photo shoots. But the teasing at the crown (and perhaps added mousse?) is critical for control; with so much hair, the forehead has to stay as clear as possible. But Hair Fans who are too easily distrcted by curls won't think to challenge that area of the style.
SUPER-HAIR? We were hoping - but then we watched the steamy video for her song Party Girls. Her long hair flipped into her eyes more than once. That leaves her... well, you know... "out of the Monet" with us. [Posted 6.14.24]
NAME: Masih Alinejad
WHO IS SHE: Iranian-born journalist and frequent critic of the Muslim government; World Liberty Congress President; author of book The Wind in My Hair
HER STYLE: Big natural ccrls, currently trimmed at the shoulders; straight looks on rare occasions (we'll overlook the flower pin, which she wears a lot)
WHY WE LIKE IT: One program called her "the woman whose hair frightens Iran." But she brought in a Hair Fan on X/Twitter with a lot of teasing on top (perhaps with a pick, 1970s-style) and well-hidden bangs at times. That wind can blow at it, but the strands always seem to either stop short of her eyes or go around them.
SUPER-HAIR? That's what our Hair Fan asked us. Our answer: from what we could find, yes - but she's had a few very close escapes. To be honest, she might not care if the hair falls in her eyes or not. Yet anyone who supports women removing hijabs and showing their hairstyles in public is bound to get Hair Fan support.
