A Haircut So Special Only Rich People Understand It
How is it possible to read two thousand words describing a haircut and come away with no idea what the hell Vogue's Plum Sykes is talking about? Is this some kind of weird, fashionista code? More » -

Tress Tests
Animators have always had problems with creating realistic-looking hair, but now new techniques are making computer-generated hair just as shiny and bouncy as biological locks. It's hard to explain why watching technically reproduced hairdos is so engaging, but it is. See the clip by clicking on the pic at left. [New Scientist] -

Oprah: Celine Dion Explains Her Son's Impressive Head Of Hair
Celine Dion was on Oprah today to talk about "special kids" who overcame adversity in their lives. Of course, the most special kid to Celine is her 7-year-old son René Charles. René has a very long mane of hair that goes all the way down his back. When I first noticed how long it was a few years ago, I thought that maybe he was going for a surfer dude look, even though at the time, the family lived in the desert city of Las Vegas. But now his hair is straight-up girlie, and Oprah noticed it, too and asked Celine about it. Celine said that René has never had a haircut and that he'll cut his hair when he's ready. Clip above. -

Should You Compromise Your Pube Length To Satisfy Your Partner?
On last night's episode of The Sarah Silverman Program, Sarah got a look at her sister Laura's wildly overgrown pubes in a locker room (which led Sarah to call her "Laura Bush"). Laura asked her boyfriend if her pubes bothered him, and while he tried to be supportive, he admitted that it was a bit much. She said she didn't want to shave them down, because her pubes remind her of her mom, who died in the '70s. But she eventually did, to make her boyfriend happy, but ultimately felt like a sell out.

6 Reasons Mustaches Are Not Sexy
Everywhere we look, we're seeing men with mustaches. Eugene Hutz, the singer from Gogol Bordello, who stars in Madonna's new movie, has an elaborate gypsy stache. There's My Name Is Earl's Jason Lee, who rocks a scraggly stache. Fey Friends, the blog that gave us the worst hairdos from old issues of Playgirl, has just posted (NSFW!) Worst Of Playgirl: Trash Staches. We also got an email today from the American Mustache Institute, asking us to vote for "The Goulet," an award that recognizes the most impactful Mustached American of the past year. But seriously? I questioned the other ladies and almost all of us agree: We're anti-mustache.

Posh Spice Talks About Why She'll Never Shave Her Head
This morning, Victoria Beckham was on Regis and Kelly — with Nick Lachey filling in for Reedge — to discuss her clothing line. (The dress she's wearing is part of her collection.) Kelly mostly talked to Posh about how hot her husband David Beckham is and how iconic Posh's hairstyles have become. Apparently (probs in the British press), when she had that bob it was known as "The Pob" and now that she has a cute pixie cut, it's known as "The Poxie" which actually sounds more like a euphemism for a social disease than a hairdo. Posh's dry humor is really endearing, and she even made a witty crack about about Britney Spears. Clip above. -

Yesterday I Dried My Hair With A Towel: Confessions Of A Curly-Haired Traitor
Yesterday I cheated on my hairdresser. The circs were thus: in an ill-judged fit of economy I cut my own hair last month and have been way too ashamed to face my normal hairdresser's justified wrath. So instead I slipped incognito into a nearby salon and asked only for "someone who will be kind about my lapse in judgment" (which has been looking like something halfway between a coonskin cap and a rock mullet — and that's an improvement over its original incarnation). Upshot is, I came away looking semi-normal, but it was a shock — a shock! — to be back in a regular "straight-haired" place after three years of indoctrination in the world of the specialty Curly Salon. They used shampoo! They dried my hair with a towel — and without just blotting up from the bottom, too! Then they detangled it with a brush! And they didn't cut from the "C" of the curl! And afterwards they didn't twist it and clip it! Heresy! And you know what? It was liberating!

GMA Investigates: Could Straightening Your Hair Change Your Life?
Thanks to the reader who tipped us off to this segment from today's GMA. In the clip above, ABC News' Taryn Winter Brill sets out to answer the question "does my hair look better curly or straight?" in the most unscientific, sexist, and racist way possible. Brill asks an expert panel of five random white guys to rank her hotness with curly hair vs. straightened hair, and goes on job interviews with the two styles. (She also polls a group of children, but this was omitted from the clip for reasons of time and preservation of sanity.) GMA devoted 8 minutes, twice the length of most segments, to analyzing Brill's hair with no mention of societal pressures or an acknowledgment of how subjective attractiveness is. Whether you have "frazzled" curly hair or "pretty" straight hair, you're likely to be pulling it out by the end of this clip. -

Lucia Moses of MediaWeek had a "60 second interview" with Cindi Leive, editor-in-chief of Glamour. Ms. Leive talked about hiring and training staff as magazines become multiplatform brands; product placement versus regular advertising pages; and the 2007 Glamour Woman of The Year Lifetime Achievement Award winner, Toni Morrison. Ms. Leive says Ms. Morrison is a "personal hero" of hers. "I remember reading The Bluest Eye in high school and being totally blown away by it. I've been trying to get her for the past six or seven years and her schedule was finally cleared," she says. Interesting choice, since a Glamour editor recently pronounced dreadlocks as inappropriate! [MediaWeek]
