New Hairstyle for Jennifer Aniston?

“Jennifer Aniston Hairstyle Watch”I guess it’s blog-worthy news, on this site at least, when the woman with the most famous sought after hair style since the “Farrah Fawcet,” decides to break it off with her long standing relationship with her hairdresser. Whew . . . that’s a BIG break-up . . . dare  I say bigger than recent split from boyfriend, crooner, John Mayer?  Come on ladies . . . it’s her HAIR!!!

What’s a girl to do? Reportedly, she fired her hairdresser, Chris McMillan, of almost 15 years, who should most definately be credited with the “Rachel” cut.  But, it’s my guess the split was an amicable one, for two reasons; Jen is known pretty much for amicable splits, and Chris is said to have given instruction to a new hairdresser, on how to do Aniston’s hair. Yet earlier this month she reportedly paid a whopping $57,000 to Chris to accompany her on a one week promotional trip across Europe . . . not a bad job if you can get it!  So, not sure how this split came about, but I’m sure we will hearing more than we need to know soon!

Anyways, I think it will be interesting to see where Jennifer’s new hairdresser takes her. Jennifer Aniston is working in NYC in her most recent movie, The Baster.  I wonder if we will see a hairstyle change on Jen during the movie? Apparently, Aniston was quoted as saying she wants to “experiment” with her look, so it will be interesting seeing where a new visionary will take her.

As great a cut and color this hairstyle has been for her, But . . . after all it’s Spring!!

From Emo Hair Style to Elvis Pompadour on American Idol!

Last night on American Idol Adam Lambert morphed from his usual unusual, emo hair style, to an Elvis pompadour! For those of you scratching your heads wondering what an “emo hair style” is, Adam’s original hairstyle qualifies as an emo hair style.

Emo is a hairstyle with an attitude! The term emo emerged in the early 80′s on the hard core punk music scene and became associated with open displays of strong emotion. Emo, is short for emotional and the emotional punk movement is what defines emo.

Today the term “emo” is tied to both music and fashion as well as inspiration toward the emo subculture. The people of this movement are extraordinarily unique. They express their individuality by setting themselves apart from the mainstream trends. Their hairdo fashions are their artistic way of conveying their deepest emotions.

The classic emo hair style is black with asymmetrical bangs or fringe, covering one eye and has lots of razored texture to give wispy, defined edges, like Adam’s hairstyle. There is in fact a fine art to creating this haircut and a flat iron is used to straighten and define the edges. Adam also wears the emo look in a defining way by wearing black tight jeans, tee’s, black eyeliner and black nail polish. Other hair colors that you see the emo culture wearing now are the cool dark tones, like blue, red and purple.

Adam does have an eerie look about him that makes one wonder if Elvis lives! And wearing a new twist of the pompadour makes you kinda wonder doesn’t it? I think this season, we are going to see one of the men take the prize of “American Idol.” Adam? Danny? Matt? But, Allison may be a possibility!

What Do Natasha’s Hairstyles Tell?
“Natasha Richardson
Hair Styles”
Hair styles go around and come around, as all fashions do . . . that’s just the way of it. More often than not, a slight updating twist to an old look will bring it into vogue once again in it’s right time. Natasha Richardson wore various hairstyles which reflect this phenomenon.

I swore when first hearing the sad news of Natasha Richardson’s passing, I wasn’t going to get on the bandwagon and write about her.  I wasn’t looking to write anything about her as I wasn’t really familiar with much of what she had done. Then, the other night I saw old footage of a number of interviews she had with her friend, Charlie Rose, over the years and she impressed me with her natural beauty inside and out. The other thing I noticed about Natasha Richardson, was the variety of hair styles she wore over the years!

To a hairdresser, those people who change their hairstyles easily, reflect a very healthy sense of self assurance. (Surprisingly, in the interview with Charlie Rose, Natasha Richardson candidly admitted to feelings in earlier years of not feeling “pretty enough” to which Charlie just about fell off his chair.) But none the less, she did change her hair style often and here are just a few of the hairstyles she wore.  Now, she does have the advantage of having a beautiful oval face shape and a hair type that is easy to work with, but she didn’t appear to be shy about changing her hairstyle . . . which indicates an attitude of a beautiful, self assured woman!  RIP
