Haircut Updates: If you have long, one-length, straight hair, try �

Adding bangs and long layers and "bring up the length to the collarbone," says Anderson to freshen up your style.

As seen on: Reese Witherspoon
Best for: Straight or wavy hair
How to ask for it: Keep in mind, longer hair typically looks best with longer fringe -- "No baby bangs," Anderson exclaims. Also, ask your stylist to cut the side layers "a bit shorter to hug the face."

I love Charlize Theron's hairstyle.

More curly hairstyles, please.

I would like a haircut update

by LittleBunny Thursday, January 10, 2013 at 09:34AM Report as inappropriate

Come on guys!! Could you plead assess try including some ethnic hairdos when you talk about hair? We don't need to see a separate article with ethnic women only, but include them when you are talking about anything. Hair, makeup, perfume, etc. you have a very diverse audience out here and we don't all have straight, blonde hair!!!!!!!

Milla has the best look. The shaved side is a bit too over the top for me.

by toddfan Sunday, August 5, 2012 at 03:17PM Report as inappropriate

I love Kristen Stewart's look... I may try that next time.

nothing that interested me here

A good read, but nothing new ...

and the new style is???

by alictasia Sunday, June 3, 2012 at 01:54PM Report as inappropriate

I love Kristen Stewart's cut! I would never cut my hair short, though, I love it long!

like to see celebrity hairstyles

Was hoping for more new ideas most of these hav been around for awhile

OH NO! Kristen Stewart brings back the "mullet"!!

by BabyKai Friday, June 1, 2012 at 09:04PM Report as inappropriate

Lots of cute options

by erica_mendez Friday, June 1, 2012 at 03:50PM Report as inappropriate

Sometime when you have a story on getting a new haircut, maybe you could feature a few more short haicut styles.

by dopey1947 Friday, June 1, 2012 at 03:14PM Report as inappropriate

I think I could do Reese Witherspoons hairdo.

by beautybody Wednesday, April 4, 2012 at 10:22PM Report as inappropriate

Pretty haircuts...all of their hair looks so stringy, though. Where's the volumizer???

by LittleBunny Wednesday, April 4, 2012 at 02:08PM Report as inappropriate

Definitely not my type of haircuts. They do look good on the models but they have all the people to pamper them and make them look good. Regular people don't. How about styles for the regular woman?

by goodgenes Tuesday, March 20, 2012 at 01:14PM Report as inappropriate

I'm not ballsy enough for any of these!! :)

by powerwoman033 Sunday, March 11, 2012 at 08:03PM Report as inappropriate

well none for me, I don like undercuts, except for one on a guy that in this band i love but he don't count, ugh.

by morganmascara Thursday, February 9, 2012 at 09:01PM Report as inappropriate

I laughed at Kristen Stewart's hair. That's a big no-no.

by PaigeG Tuesday, January 10, 2012 at 08:40PM Report as inappropriate

Some of these hair styles are not the most attractive.

by MissXu Saturday, December 10, 2011 at 01:26PM Report as inappropriate

I think I'll pass!

by sweettpea29 Saturday, December 10, 2011 at 12:23PM Report as inappropriate

Aw yea haphazard curls--my go-to look! And please, what is to "try" about plain straight hair?

by naughtnone Monday, November 14, 2011 at 12:59PM Report as inappropriate

the shaved sides cut is HORRIBLE. reminds me of that style that seemed to be popular among a few durring my middle school years in the late 80's. i only liked two. really liked Reese Witherspoon and Gweneth Paltrow's hairstyles.

by ColeyStrasz Wednesday, October 19, 2011 at 09:53AM Report as inappropriate

Great ideas for some of the in between stages.

by taryn.romero Friday, September 9, 2011 at 10:35AM Report as inappropriate

Charlize Theron's hair is my favorite out of these looks. Most of them are a bit too much for me :)

by vfalkow Tuesday, September 6, 2011 at 11:58AM Report as inappropriate

avoiding a good deal of these!

by Bon_Bon Monday, August 15, 2011 at 12:22AM Report as inappropriate

I truly dislike Chloë Sevigny,ugh....

by selma Wednesday, July 20, 2011 at 09:32AM Report as inappropriate

Like Vanessas hair. All the others are to short, or boring and straight.

by SpaceyStacie Wednesday, June 29, 2011 at 09:29AM Report as inappropriate

I agree with jenstar313 they didn't inspired me either.

by shell1375 Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 10:30PM Report as inappropriate

i've been dying to try a new hairstyle but none of these inspired me =(

by jenstar313 Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 12:14PM Report as inappropriate

I might try the vanessa hudgens look, I have thick curly and wavy hair so this might work.

by littlebeauty408 Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 12:12PM Report as inappropriate

some of these are really good, don't know why everyone wants to look like gwyneth tho!

by AKGALnIowa Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 11:49AM Report as inappropriate

Ahaha, a few of those are quite edgy indeed.

by bukiyounahito Saturday, June 18, 2011 at 08:07AM Report as inappropriate

I like the look of swept off to the side bangs or layered off the face, but when you wear glasses, it is a nuisance. Maybe, if my hair was not so straight. I also love the shorter blunt cuts, but can't stand it when it grows out and hits my neck -sometimes it itches. And, then there is the turn out, unless you can style it to stay. I like layered, but you need a good cut for it to follow your instructions, and styling supplies.

by evet Friday, June 17, 2011 at 06:34PM Report as inappropriate

I want to try getting bangs and layering my hair out from the bob cut I got earlier this year.

by MissXu Friday, June 17, 2011 at 12:19PM Report as inappropriate

Love all the different hairstyles. Great for inspiration! I'll need it soon when I decide to grow my bangs out again...

by ladyboarder9669 Wednesday, May 25, 2011 at 01:06PM Report as inappropriate

I don't know if I have the guts for alot of those. on second thought, I don't think I would want to have the guts to attemp some of those cuts.

by MissPurple Tuesday, May 24, 2011 at 11:59AM Report as inappropriate

These are absolutely hideous haircuts! I am unsubscribing because nothing on this site looks good to me. Sorry!

by Tawny_Cat Saturday, May 21, 2011 at 05:27AM Report as inappropriate

I liked some of the styles but there is just no way i am going to shave part of my head.

by voyager24 Friday, May 20, 2011 at 12:18PM Report as inappropriate

interesting styles but none would work for my curly hair, not even the attractive ones.

by benbri1 Friday, May 20, 2011 at 12:06PM Report as inappropriate

Some of these haircuts aren't cute at all...

by LipglossandSpandex Monday, April 11, 2011 at 08:26PM Report as inappropriate

Already did these in the 80's, 90's ... Looking for something new...

yes i hade long hair and yes i i did the breaid but now i do the short hair like in the picture

by yvette_jones Saturday, March 26, 2011 at 05:49AM Report as inappropriate

That was a lot of nothing! Most of the so-called styles look like a "before" style, not an "after" style! Forget it!

by barbcashmer Friday, March 25, 2011 at 04:22PM Report as inappropriate

veryyyyyy disapointed these all SUCK! nothing new here at all. :-( some of the info on here is not all that great really.

by sarbear86 Friday, March 25, 2011 at 12:29PM Report as inappropriate

Hey! I had one of your ballsy styles/shaved side head under long hair given to me unbeknownst as a result of brain surgery. So my neurgeon saved my life AND gave me cool hair.

ugh, i dont really see ANYTHING that is new in here...all have been done before

No thanks... all of these are disasters.

by starrkissed Tuesday, March 8, 2011 at 02:04PM Report as inappropriate

Alice Dellal's and Kristin Stewart's cuts are jokes. The others are nothing new. Yawn.

by Jewelrydesigner Saturday, February 26, 2011 at 07:54PM Report as inappropriate

Apparently everyone has bad judgment, and a bad cut, from time to time!

Lol "the Dent like Harvey"

Ew balls

by LittleBunny Thursday, February 17, 2011 at 01:46PM Report as inappropriate

ballsy? that is kind of an adjective that refers to men. ironic since this is a woman's article...

by kenya Tuesday, December 21, 2010 at 12:49PM Report as inappropriate

Only one of these styles is anywhere near "edgy" and that's Alice Dellal's - almost no one is going to go out and shave one side of their head. The rest of them are all rehashes of old cuts, and are not interesting. Bad article & worse advice.

by mini Monday, September 27, 2010 at 06:17AM Report as inappropriate

BAD STORY! there is not one thing new about these haircuts.

by deannsue Thursday, September 16, 2010 at 11:58AM Report as inappropriate

Ladies you should all know by now to get that hair do just wear your hair up all day while it's hot then take it down. It's called the Dent and not the good one like Harvey.
