Kate’s Hair Shines Bright

February 16th, 2011

Kate Moss has never been one to shy away from headlines, and this week she has dominated the hair news with not just one show stopping ‘do but two!  Kate has always been renowned for her bold sense of style and her willingness to play with different looks and, if the latest pictures of her are anything to go by, she takes the same approach to her hair.

The model was snapped in Brazil earlier this week, where she was doing a photo shoot, sporting a hair style which was reminiscent of the eighties.  Kate’s generally straight hair had undergone somewhat of a transformation as it was backcombed, curled and teased into what can only be described as a style that an eighties rocker would wear.

Awards Glitz!

February 11th, 2011

Following the Golden Globes, and with the BAFTAs and the Oscars just around the corner, awards fever is sweeping the planet. People on both sides of the Atlantic are all raving about the King’s Speech and trying to guess who will sweep the board. So in keeping with all the goss, we thought we would give this week’s poll an awards theme!

If you are anything like us you’ll be dying to know not only what the lovely ladies in attendance will be wearing, but also what ‘do they will be sporting. So this week we asked you to tell us what would be your top hair style if you were lucky enough to attend an awards bash. And a staggering 50% of you said you would rock the red carpet with loose curls!

Clearly you are taking inspiration from the likes of Mila Kunis and Glee star Lea Michele who both looked absolutely stunning with curly hair at the recent SAG awards! We thought that more of you would have opted for an up-do but we can see why you chose curls, especially when Mila and Lea wear the style so well. What’s more, this style screams effortless chic and looks ultra natural.

Tell us what it is that you love about curls… is it their subtle appeal, or the fact they are easy to create?

Is The Perm Making A Comeback?

February 9th, 2011

Word has reached us that American chat show, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, has decided to celebrate all things hair this week by launching the first ever Perm Week! That’s right you read correctly, Jimmy Fallon and his team are indeed celebrating that eighties classic, the perm!

As part of the festivities five lucky (or unlucky, depending on which way you look at it) audience members will be given a hair makeover. Now we would love a bit of a hair revamp, but unfortunately for the chosen audience members there will be no golden highlights or beautifully crafted pixie crops, all five will be treated to a perm!

Brooke Shields was a guest on Jimmy’s show this week and in keeping with the perm theme the actress brought along a picture of her sporting the look back in the eighties. Now we here at Goody are all about experimenting with our hair and trying out new styles but we’re yet to be convinced about the perm revival. Over the years it has become synonymous with poodles, so can this style really make a comeback?

Let us know what you think is Jimmy right to celebrate the perm?  Or should this look stay in the eighties?

Jen Storms To Victory… Again

February 4th, 2011

Well it seems that Jennifer Aniston is queen of the polls as she once again tops our weekly survey.  Last week you voted her your number one celebrity blonde and this week she has continued to reign supreme as she was named the celebrity you would most like to receive a lock of hair from!

Following on from reports that chat show host Ellen DeGeneres asked for a lock of Justin Bieber’s hair as a birthday present, we had a little bit of fun with this week’s poll and asked you to tell us which celeb’s hair you would like as a gift.  With a whopping 66% of the vote, Jennifer stormed to victory.  It seems when it comes to hair there is no poll this woman can’t win!

We knew that Jen and her ‘do were liked but we had no idea they were this popular, especially given that she faced stiff competition from the likes of Cheryl Cole, who came in second place.  However, unlike Ellen, it seems that none of you lovely ladies want a lock of Justin’s hair as the pint-sized celeb came joint last in the poll alongside Hollywood hunk Brad Pitt!

What is it that you love so much about Jennifer’s hair?  Is it because she has sported some iconic styles?  We’d love to hear from you, so let us know!

Anne Oozes Forties Glamour!

February 2nd, 2011

Vanity Fair has once again dazzled the world with the unveiling of the cover for its 17th annual Hollywood edition. In true Hollywood style the cover was revealed in the run up to the Oscars and features a number of beautiful A-list actors and actresses.

However, we have to admit we were a bit overcome with jealousy when we saw Anne Hathaway on the cover. Not only was she wearing a stunning couture dress and just happened to be surrounded by a group of gorgeous men, including Ryan Reynolds and Jake Gyllenhaal, but she was also sporting a fabulous ‘do – some girls have all the luck!

In keeping with the Hollywood glamour theme, Anne opted to wear an ultra glam 1940s-inspired hair style. Her fabulous locks really created an impact and instantly caught our eye. However, what we really love about her look is how simple it is to achieve – all you need is a set of rollers, such as Goody’s Velcro rollers, and you will be looking as glam as Anne. What’s more, Ms Hathaway really rocks the style and looks like she should be sipping cocktails with forties’ stars Ginger Rogers and Rita Hayworth!

We love Anne’s retro look, she oozes old school glamour but let us know what you think. Will you be trying this style out for yourself?

Jen Reigns Supreme

January 28th, 2011

Last week we brought you news of a new trend sweeping the world of celebrity, which showed that blonde is back! So we thought we’d ask you to tell us exactly what you thought of this trend and who you thought rocked it best.

Now, we have previously said that we were a bit unsure about Katie Price’s new blonde hair and it seems that you were in agreement as you placed her last in the poll. Although it didn’t surprise us that Katie was in last place, it did shock us to see that she shared this spot with the lovely Kate Beckinsdale. We actually thought that Kate looks great as a blonde and had it spot on with her colour choice – it completed her skin tone beautifully.

Jennifer Aniston therefore claimed a landslide victory and was named as your new favourite celebrity blonde. We do love Jen’s new baby blonde look as it softens her chiselled features, and if you ask us her new ‘do makes her look even younger, if that’s possible! However, as much as we love her new hair we didn’t expect her to win this week’s poll by such a big lead.

Perhaps you prefer Jen’s hair because she has dabbled with blonde in the past or maybe you just think she is one of those lucky few women who can carry off any look, style or colour! As always, let us know…

Happy Birthday Ellen!

January 26th, 2011

It’s talk show host Ellen DeGeneres 54th birthday today – so happy birthday Ellen!  Now we don’t know about you, but when it’s our birthday we have a wish list as long as our arm.  What’s more somewhere on that list is generally a trip to the hairdressers for a new hair ‘do, and it seems that Ellen is no different to the rest of us.  However, Ellen hasn’t requested a new look, or to be treated at the salon, instead she has asked for… a lock of Justin Bieber’s hair! 

Ellen tweeted her unusual request yesterday saying ‘It’s my birthday tomorrow! All I want for my birthday is world peace, and a lock of @JustinBieber ’s hair.’  Seemingly Justin picked up on her request, and responded to say that he would make this happen.

We like baby-faced Justin as much as the next person, but we would be much happier if someone offered us a day of pampering at the hairdressers rather than a piece of the young heart throb’s hair as a birthday treat!  What’s more we thought it was only his teenage fans who would be vying for a lock of his golden hair! 

Well we hope Justin lived up to his promise and gave Ellen her birthday gift, but let us know what you think would you be happy with a piece of Bieber’s hair as a present?  Or would you rather have a lock from another celebrity’s head, if so who?

Brilliant Blondes

January 19th, 2011

They say that blondes have more fun and it seems that celebrities agree as January has seen a number undergo a colour transformation.  Certain celebs have apparently had enough of their usual hair colour and have reached for the hair dye, unveiling a blonder ‘do.

The first celebrity to unveil her new look was Jordan, aka Katie Price, whose transformation is arguably the most dramatic of all.  It seems its out with the old and in with the new for the star as she swapped her black locks for bright Barbie-blonde tresses.  We here at Goody are all for experimenting with our hair but we can’t help but think that Katie perhaps suited her darker hair better.

 Then there was Kate Beckinsdale who seemed to be following in Jordan’s footsteps when she revealed a striking new blonde look.  We have to say that we were a little shocked when we heard Kate had dyed her hair, as she has always had such beautiful locks but we were pleasantly surprised to see that she suits blonde just as much as her natural brunette colour.  Kate looks stunning with her new hair colour – in fact in some shots of the actress she bears a striking resemblance to Sienna Miller!

Finally Jennifer Aniston is the latest celebrity to show her love of blonde.  Our favourite Friend used a magazine shoot to show off her new look and we are loving it!   The star is no stranger to blonde hair as she often sports golden blonde highlights but this latest look is much different.  She has opted for all over coverage this time and the baby blonde colour totally transforms her and softens her look.

Let us know what you think… do these celebs suit their new blonde hair or do you prefer them as brunettes?  Have their new ‘dos convinced you to make the change to blonde too?

Noughtie but Nice Hair Styles

January 12th, 2011

We’ve already given you a rundown of the celebrity hair styles that made waves in 2010, but now Glamour magazine has done a round-up of the looks that shaped the noughties.  The styles have varied from one extreme to another, from the very short to the much too long, but one thing’s clear, it seems we took our hair inspiration from the hairdos of the past and put our own unique twist on them!

We’ve all had a bit of hair déjà vu, so why not check out our guide below to find out which era your fave style of the noughties first appeared!

1920s –The structured bob first came on the scene back in 1920 and has since been spotted on stars such as Katie Holmes and Dannii Minogue.  Both celebrities seem to have taken inspiration from the Charleston era and have experimented with chin length, highly structured bobs which help to frame their faces and, despite their short length, remain ultra feminine.

 1960s – Twiggy was the woman of the moment, and she created a style revolution when she chopped off her locks and unveiled a pixie crop.  It seems that Twiggy’s look still has the same appeal, even in the noughties, with celebs including Halle Berry, Emma Watson and Sienna Miller dabbling with the hair style at one time or another throughout the decade.  Halle Berry first unveiled her take on the look way back in 2000 but liked it so much that she has recently took the scissors to her long hair in favour of the crop once again.

The sixties were clearly a popular era when it came to hair styles, as yet another ‘do from the decade became popular again in the noughties.  The beehive, made famous by Amy Winehouse, became one of the most recognisable styles of the late noughties.  The dramatic look had women up and down the country dashing out to buy a backcombing brush and hair spray so that they could coiffe their hair in the same way.

1970s – The seventies brought the hippy era – with long, flowing, carefree locks as the look of choice.  Once again this bohemian look reared its head as the beach babe hair style became the must-have ‘do in Hollywood.  This style offers the upmost in femininity and has been carried off beautifully by stars such as Kate Hudson.

1980’s- The eighties saw the rise of punk and with it came a number of dramatic hair styles that only punks themselves were brave enough to experiment with.  However, the noughties changed all of this as the undercut became popular with celebrities and fashionistas alike.  This tough look was worn by even the most feminine women such as model Agyness Deyn and singer Amelle Berrabah.

So will this be the decade where we start to create or own styles?  Or do you think we will continue to look to the past for hair ideas?  What do you think will be the next big style?

Is Cheryl The Ultimate Hair Icon?

December 17th, 2010

There was a time when we all turned to Victoria Beckham for style inspiration. From make-up and clothes to hair styles, Posh was our ultimate icon.  However, if this week’s poll is anything to go by it seems that Victoria has let her style crown slip with none other than the lovely Cheryl Cole stepping into her designer shoes.

This week we asked you to tell who your hair icon of 2010 was and it should come as no surprise that Cheryl topped the poll.  Throughout the year Cheryl has continued to dominate our celebrity hair themed polls.  No matter what she does, whether she cuts it off, puts her extensions back in or dabbles with her hair colour, you just can’t enough of her, with an astonishing 66% of you naming her as your hair star.

Emma Watson came in second place with 25% of the overall vote, with her pixie crop, which she debuted earlier in the year, floating your boat but just not as much as Cheryl’s ever changing style. Let us know what your favourite ‘Cheryl style’ of the year was.
