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 try to update this "Hot List" often, as new styles and women come our way!

NAME: Cheryl Cole

WHO IS SHE: Singer in the British group Girls Aloud; judge on ITV talent show The X Factor

HER STYLE: Medium-long, parted a bit off-center and often on the loose. (We've seen pictures of her with bangs, but don't think that's her current look.)

WHY WE LIKE IT: Her strength seems to be thickness, and she's not afraid to display it. And when she adds a bit of curl to the ends, we can imagine how much flexing and bounce this hair has.

SUPER-HAIR? We spotted her before we learned FHM magazine had declared her the "sexiest woman" in the world. Her hair certainly had to help her win that title. But we didn't have to look too hard online to find pictures with her style mussed and covering an eye. She's certainly dreamy, but not quite flawless. [Posted 6/24/9]

NAME: Michelle Bachmann

WHO IS SHE: U.S. Representative from Minnesota

HER STYLE: Shoulder-length and sideparted; teasing and round-brushing used for control

WHY WE LIKE IT: At its best, the style looks quite natural. The turning of hair on the left side probably is kept in line with spray; she's not afraid to put it behind her ear in extreme situations.

SUPER-HAIR? From the pictures we've reviewed, it is. But her House web site includes several outdoor pictures where wind comes very close to ripping her well-groomed style across her face. Now that we've mentioned that, Democrats probably will be waiting to take pictures of that fatal moment. [Posted 6/9/9]

NAME: Rola Dashti

WHO IS SHE: Newly-elected member of the Kuwaiti Parliament

HER STYLE: We were linked to this picture of a shoulder-length sidepart, apparently round-brushed (and we think sprayed) to surround the face. We found other photos online with her hair a couple of inches longer.

WHY WE LIKE IT: The Hair Fan who suggested her didn't give a reason. But there's good thickness here, possibly helped with hold by a touch of teasing at the crown. We suspect this style could bounce and flex a bit, without going out of line.

SUPER-HAIR? We didn't find any photos with her hair in her eyes, not even with a longer style. So she has it at this point -- and we'd better stop our words of praise there, because she's an advocate for women's rights and might get upset. [Photo courtesy CNN/Getty Images; posted 5/27/9]

NAME: Vanessa Rousso

WHO IS SHE: Professional poker player

HER STYLE: Medium-long sidepart, usually with a waviness we think is natural for her

WHY WE LIKE IT: It's usually thick and almost always gorgeous in public. While she admittedly wears a lot of hats during tournaments, she shows good ability to keep her hair in line at other times (such as this picture from a commercial for Super-Hair's domain name registrar). The fact that she graduated from Duke University in 2 ½ years adds another key to success -- brains to prepare hair beauty.

SUPER-HAIR? Check her web site for yourself. It has dozens of pictures, practically all of them with flawless hair and none with hair in her eyes. Watch enough poker on TV and you'll learn "position" is important. That matters with us as well -- and you might say she "has it in spades." [Posted 5/13/9]

NAME: Charity Shea

WHO IS SHE: A "little-known actress," admits the Hair Fan who nominated her; currently appearing in the Canadian TV series The Best Years

HER STYLE: Straight from the jawline up, with bangs almost filling the forehead; waves from that point down below the shoulders.

WHY WE LIKE IT: Our nominator likes the mix of bangs and waves - and indeed, she gives Hair Fans of various interests something to analyze. While she may be little known, a makeover site has spotted her and suggested she uses an iron to create the curls. The result is weighty long hair that's relatively hard to jostle out of place, combined with bangs to keep the eyes clear.

SUPER-HAIR? This look appears tough enough to hold firmly under challenging conditions. But an online search found one carefree scene where she's lying on grass, and loose strands swirl into her eyes. It wasn't her regular style, though -- and if you put the hair in our picture on the ground, you might have to fight for any movement at all. [Posted 4/29/9]

NAME: Charli Turner Thorne

WHO IS SHE: Arizona State women's basketball coach

HER STYLE: Our search found several variations, but the Hair Fan who recommended her seems to prefer this look, with chunks of layers close to her eyes and shoulder-length hair around the back

WHY WE LIKE IT: The nomination didn't give a reason, except that this look seems more interesting than what another college basketball coach on our Top Ten Tresses list shows. It's certainly a higher-risk style, with hair appearing ready to drop in her right eye at any moment. How she keeps it in place is a mystery to us -- but we're guessing it's some combination of flat-ironing, round-brushing and spraying.

SUPER-HAIR? We thought sure we'd find a picture with this style in her eyes. It might have collapsed once, as a player hugged her during a center-court ceremony in 2007 -- but the hair fought very hard to avoid bending a decisive half-inch. This style certainly has a great mix of drama and hold. And we especially like a courtside fan club's hair-minded name: "Charli's Angels." [Photo courtesy East Valley Tribune; posted 4/13/9]

NAME: Wayna Wondwossen (she performs by the first name only)

WHO IS SHE: Soul singer, recently in the news for an arrest which was thrown out of court

HER STYLE: Most recently loose shoulder-length, using round-brush waves for support

WHY WE LIKE IT: The style looks very natural and carefree, yet we think that's deceptive. The round-brushing gives the strips closest to the eyes enough heaviness to hold in place, yet flexibility to bounce and move. We also think we've caught glimpses of hidden bangs here.

SUPER-HAIR? We reviewed her music video My Love which contained a couple of aggressive moments, but the hair fought well to hold and stay off her eyes. The pictures we've seen online indicate she's made a nice transition from tight short curls to this longer look, and without the style dropping at all. She's unbeaten so far, and certainly worth watching. [Photo courtesy AP/KOMO-TV; posted 4/1/9]
