    My first ever hair crush was Topanga on Boy Meets World. Now that was some damn good hair.

    Edited to add: AFTER the famous "Topanga gets a real haircut" episode.

    If she lets her hair dry in a chignon, it must not be very thick. If I braid my hair or put it in a bun while it's wet, it will take over 24 hours to dry naturally and by then, it will smell mildewy.

    As for the assertion that all she does is let it dry and then it turns out that way, I call bullshit. For one thing, as she stated, she dyes her hair. Guaranteed, she spends a ton of time and money to make her hair look like it is all natural--which, is totally fine, though. Secondly, that show is styled to the hilt. Are we really to believe that prior to filming, a makeup crew does her face, while the hairstylist doesn't touch her hair? Finally, there was a NY Mag story about Gossip Girl not too long ago and they indicated that she was an absolute diva and wouldn't let anyone see her before her hair and makeup were complete. I'm just not buying it.

    @Tchotchke: That is very true. My hair takes forever to dry and I always have to leave it down whilst in the process, otherwise it gets that dreaded smell.

    As for the way it turns out - I think bullshit just because I can't imagine hair is *that* consistent. I get tons of compliments on my hair and I do nothing to it, and oftentimes it looks styled. However there are many times when I let it dry and it looks meh. For someone who is shooting everyday, I have to imagine a lot of times they need to do something to it. #hair

    Also, Im rocking this hair today, and all it took was a curling iron, wrapping the hair around it away from the face, and do NOT clamp it.

    And I am hardly a tall, thin, blonde. #hair

    @ElleL: That's my trick too! Never clamp, and away from the face. And to get volume: rub in some babypowder. And then hang your head upside down and spray a little Elnett (the best and almost cheapest hairspray around) and you're so rocking your hair for not that much money at all.

    @ElleL: I've also been loving pin curls lately. Use a curling iron then twist around your finger up to your head and pin. If you sleep on it and brush it out, it gives you Veronica Lake waves! #hair

    Wait, long hair is for tall, slim women only? Since when?

    Whatever, Britney Spears had the same haircut way before Gossip Girl and she is not really tall. #hair

    Uhm, you have got to be kidding me! While I will admit Blake's hair is very lovely the style isn't exactly trend setting, from what I can tell she lets it dry natural. #hair

    I have good hair, people sometimes ask if it's a wig (um....not sure if this is bad or good). I didn't have hair until 3.

    In any case, I am not "short," per se. I'm 5'5", and whenever I decide to grow out my hair, I always feel swallowed by it. So, I might agree that short women can't pull it off quite as well.

    The only woman I've seen who can rock it is Penelope Cruz, who is the same height as me.

    I will also recommend Lively's recommendation for curls, if you have naturally straight or wavy hair, that is. In the morning sometimes I will grab two large sections on either side of my head and twist them up, clipping them at the top. I look like Princess Leia but the results after drying are awesome. #hair

    @Penny: I'm short (5'3"), but I have never had issues with having long hair. I think the only times long hair doesn't work on short girls is when it's super-long and pulls the spectator's eye downward, or if it's very thick because it can be overwhelming. I have the latter problem. But also, that's usually remedied by a good haircut, not necessarily altering the length. #hair

    Letting it dry in a chignon? What fool can't do that?! Who knew that all this time, my innate laziness was the secret to getting hair I'm too fat and short to be wearing? #hair
