04.11.12Anne’s New Super Short HairYou know it has to be a good celebrity hair makeover to get me to post on Hair On The Brain! I just couldn't ignore Anne Hathaway's major chop. As I'm sure you already know, the super crop is for a role. Anne is playing Fantine in the new version of Les Miserables. She probably wouldn't have gone this short if it wasn't for work, but she definitely has the face for it. And how awesome must it be to have so little hair for a while? I was musing yesterday how stunning Michelle Williams looks with her (still) short ...

03.11.11Katherine Goes ShortSpeaking of new platinum pixies, Katherine Heigl followed Kate Winslet's lead by ditching her longish blonde locks and going for a new cropped style. Katherine was photographed yesterday with the new look, while taking her dog to the vet. I like this new look on Katherine! Also, does anyone know the brand of those boots she's wearing? It's really bugging me because for about a year now I've been seeing people with those same boots occasionally and I really like them. They are brown suede, have a wedge heel, a zipper in the back, and can be worn up or ...

03.11.11Yay Or Nay: Kate Winslet’s PixieKate Winslet ditched her mid-length, wavy, caramel blonde locks for a bold platinum blonde pixie for the April cover of British Vogue. At first I thought this was a wig, but other sources are reporting this as a haircut, so guess it is. I'm curious to see Kate's new hair "in action". She's gorgeous and I'm sure it will look amazing. I think the color is a little too cool for her skin tone, but maybe her stylist will tone it a bit post-editorial. What do you think of Kate's new hair?

02.03.11Ashlee Super Platinum PixieI'm not a fan of Ashlee Simpson, but I love watching her hairstyle changes. If I was a super rich celeb, that's what I'd do too. Mile long red extensions one week, platinum pixie the next. Why not. Ashleeeeeeee was recently spotted leaving Andy Lecompte Salon in West Hollywood with a fresh cut and hair color taking her previous style, which she did this fall, even shorter and lighter. I really love this pixie cut--it's well executed and the proportions are totally right. And the so-blonde-it's-almost-white color really works with this cut. I kind of love it! But what do ...

01.22.11The New ShagThe February issue of Allure says the shag is the new “it” hairstyle. You know, that choppy, layered hairstyle that was big on rock stars of the '60s, Carol Brady in the '70s, Joan Jett in the '80s, and (thanks to Sally Hershberger) Meg Ryan in the '90s. Freja Beha Erichsen made the shag relevant again in 2009 (above) by strutting down runways with a supermodely version of the messy 'do. And now Freja's grown out shag is a symbol of the new, revamped shag. It's an edgier, sexed-up version of the cut--kind of like a severely layered bob with ...

12.28.10This Or That: Celebrity HairBellaSugar is breaking down which celebs are making the right (and wrong) hair changes this winter season... First up, Lily Allen had a super smooth collarbone-length bob with side-swept bangs, but then she transitioned to a piecey, shorter 'do. Which do you prefer? (I think they're both adorable.) Carey Mulligan took her classic pixie to mega heights with a pompadour. Which style do you like better on Carey? Anne Heche has almost always been an icy blonde, but she recently transitioned to strawberry. Yay or Nay? Ashley Greene is a sometimes-fan of extensions, as seen here. Which style do you think flatters the ...

12.21.10Gwyneth Then & NowRemember back when Gwyneth Paltrow and then-boyfriend Brad Pitt had matching pixie cuts? They were seriously the best hair couple of all time. Aw, the 90s. Le sigh... Aaaaannnnd now. Gwyneth arrived to the screening of her new movie Country Strong in Beverly Hills last week looking very blonde and very gorgeous. Gwyneth did a lot of this look in 2010--the long blonde hair + neutral lip + white. But it works well on her. Gwyneth's white, floor-length Emilio Pucci gown was cut very simple in the front, but plunges dramatically in the back. Do you like this look on Gwyneth? Would ...

12.03.10Natalie Portman’s HairstylesMy vote as one of the most beautiful actresses alive, Black Swan star Natalie Portman has had many hairstyles--and roles--over the years. ELLE.com highlights some of her best looks since her Hollywood debut in 1994. Which style do you like best on Natalie? Long and straight in 2008 or long with volume and layers in 2010. Gorgeous with a buzzed head in 2005 or with a pixie cut in 2006. Retro curls in medium brown in 2007 or soft side curls in honey blonde in 2008. I'm also loving the side bun Natalie wore to the IFP 20th Annual Gotham Independent Film Awards on ...

11.15.10Love & Other DrugsHow incredibly gorgeous does Anne Hathaway look at the Love & Other Drugs opening night gala? It's crazy. (And better than the pixie wig, I have to say.) I love the center part on her, the loose waves, the hair color, the makeup. It's all perfect! And you know you're doing something right if you look that sensational in a white dress with extra fabric poofs at the hips! Anne's dress is Antonio Berardi and the nude platform pumps are Sergio Rossi. Are you going to see Anne Hathaway's new movie Love & Other Drugs when it comes out November 24th?
