Unbeweaveable celebrity hairstyles, extensions, interviews | (0)
Friend of the Blog and fellow extension-obsessed writer, Katrina Spencer just published her second novel, Unbeweaveable. The name of which totally cracks me up and I try to fit into everyday conversation as much as possible. It's about a tough New York woman whose life takes a turn, forcing her to move back home to Texas... and remove her weave. It's funny and lighthearted, just like Katrina. Check out our interview where we discuss her new book, celeb hair, and of course, extensions! Hair On The Brain: A hot topic of conversation on HOTB is extensions. Obviously, that’s something you love ...

Pay Up celebrity hairstyles, extensions, gossip | (0)
Hmm. Just yesterday I said it's your hair if you pay for it (or if you win it on Hair On The Brain). But what if you skip out on your weave bill? Whose hair is it then? Just ask Kelis, who ditched on her $5,000 weave tab in Santa Monica, California, according to TMZ. The whole hairy ordeal went to trial, and Kelis didn't even bother to show up, although the stylist did! The judge entered a default judgment for the full amount, so Kelis owes the entire $5,000. That's a lot of weave...

Workin' The Weave celebrity hairstyles, movies | (0)
Eva Longoria Parker showed off some mega fine fake hair at the Hollywood Reporter's Annual Women in Entertainment Breakfast at the Beverly Hills Hotel this morning (Dec. 4). Here's the thing. I take one look at Eva's hair and I know it's fake as hell. Yet it looks amazing! So much soft, glorious, real hair. Hair that was probably snatched off some girl's head in India less than 48 hours ago while she was at the movies or during a prayer service or at the doctor or something. Yo, I caught the re-run of Chris Rock talking about Good Hair on ...

I Heart Tyra's Hair celebrity hairstyles, extensions, Natural, television, wigs | (0)
I know I kind of made fun of the season opener of The Tyra Show, where Tyra Banks showed her natural hair. I guess I was just expecting a bigger reveal, but she came out with her hair wet. I just watched this video of the first episode, and Tyra's stylist does her hair on the show. The finished product looks incredible. I love Tyra's real hair! In my opinion, it looks better than those super straight, flat wigs she usually wears. Tyra said she felt like Vanessa Williams in 1989, but I'm thinking more Jody Watley. Check it out:

Tyra's Big Reveal celebrity hairstyles, extensions, Natural, television, wigs | (0)
Today, in the fifth-season opener of The Tyra Show, Tyra revealed her natural hair, saying, “I felt like I needed to solve this mystery.” Well, um. Mystery solved! Tyra cracks me up... She takes herself so seriously. Remember when Tyra did a show on her fear of dolphins? She's the gift that keeps on giving.

Nicole at The Match celebrity hairstylist, extensions, plastic surgery, red hair | (0)
Nicole Kidman has a case of VOE. But like Ashlee Simpson's, they look pretty good, so I don't care. The strawberry blonde color is a tad bland, but Nicole's skin tone does not look washed out, so I like the color on her. I think what makes it look too monochromatic in this picture is that she's wearing so much beige. Maybe a touch more red to her hair, and it would be perfect. I know people diss Nic for having too much botox or whatever, but I have always had a soft spot for her. She's an amazing actress. Weirdly, when ...

Ashlee Has VOE. But Do We Care? celebrity hairstyles, extensions, television | (0)
Ashlee Simpson has a case of VOE (Very Obvious Extensions.) And there's nothing we like better at HOTB than bad celebrity extensions! However, you can't see where Ashlee's extensions are clipped in, ala Paris Hilton, or the track rows, ala Britney Spears, or the extension "shelf", ala Jessica Szohr. So why are Ashlee's extensions bad? Actually, now that I wrote about all the other bad celebrity extension, I'm realizing that Ashlee's extensions aren't that awful. Maybe she should only receive a minor penalty. The only issue I have with her hair is that the second I see it I know it's fake. But maybe ...

Tyra to Ditch Her Weave celebrity hairstyles, extensions, television, wigs | (0)
I watched like two seconds of the celebs arriving on the red carpet to the 2009 Daytime Emmy Awards. I caught Tyra Banks being interviewed, and I have to say, she looked pretty great! I liked her choice of a shorter dress, and I thought the coral color looked fantastic on her. The interviewer asked Tyra if that was her real hair--since she's always talking about being cool with your natural hair on her show. Tyra laughed and was like, girl, this is fake, fake, fake. (Pretty good for fake hair though, right?) Tyra mentioned that she's going to ditch her weave ...

Jessica's Bad Extensions celebrity hairstyles, extensions, television | (0)
Look who got extensions? That other chick on Gossip Girl. Beauty Counter is saying they’re awesome, but I disagree. They’re too long and straggly and you can totally see the ends of her real hair! What do you think of Jessica Szohr new extensions?
