5 Types Of Troubled Hair, 5 Easy Solutions
When you and your hair have a domestic dispute and you're stuck leaving the house looking less than your best, it can be a mega confidence killer. Sure, we all have to accept certain beauty woes, but when it comes to the head, the right product and some hot tips should really be able to cure whatever ails you.
Enter Shin An and her new Santa Monica salon, Shin, a zen space that's the equivalent to a whiskey on the rocks after a long week (she actually might even offer you one!). Thanks to a cult following so hard core they've been dubbed "Shinheads," you know this stylist is the real deal. We recently visited Shin, chopped off six inches, and just when we thought we'd cry (as per usual), ended up over the moon! So, we've asked the coiff queen to offer her insights on every plait predicament from the frizzies to uncontrollable curls, and we swear, she really gets to the root of every problem.

Haute Holiday Headband! Evan Rachel Wood's Seasonal Accessory
We love us some Evan Rachel Wood around here. Whether her locks are long and flowy, deep red, or short and swept to the side, this kick-ass True Blood-er can usually do no wrong (knock on wood, pun intended). Case in point, Ms. Wood recently stepped out in Preen's pretty spring '12 "Sonya" dress. When you're that pale and rocking black, with a lacy floral print and a heavy black shoe, you're already verging into teen goth territory. But rather than go the vampire route (and not Sophie-Anne style), she did good and opted for a fresh face and a swept-back updo, kept in place by a thin black headband with a leather-like finish that's way more glam than our ninth grade bra strap lookalike. We love how this holiday-appropriate accessory makes her face look and, ugh, that skin! Try this mane accoutrement to add an easy touch of festivity into any ensemble—you can even make your own.
OMB! What Do You Think Of Justin Bieber's New Haircut?
Helen of Troy was the face that launched a thousand ships; Justin Bieber has the hair that launched a thousand screaming fans. Or a million. Which is why we don't exactly want to be around any teeny boppers when they see JB's newest 'do, a spiked up, faux-hawk-but-not-quite affair that's quite a dramatic departure from his original side-parted flow. On last night's Tonight Show with Jay Leno, the 17-year-old superstar debuted the new locks with diamond studs and a question leather tie-and-shirt combo, and the reaction has been particularly (and acrimoniously) divided. Which begs the question—do you belieb in the cut, or is this not something to love? (Daily Mail UK)

Emma Stone’s Gorgeous Tied-And-Twisted…
Emma Stone may have stunned at the Zurich Film Festival in a strapless Dolce & Gabanna gown, but what really stole the show IMHO is her twisted, braided updo. We love the way her ‘do is messy and sexy while still feeling sophisticated and dressed-up. It’s the perfect balance to her simply beautiful makeup—done and done!

Loving Evan Rachel Wood's Tux, But Would You Rock That Funky 'Do?
We’ll always have a corner of our hearts reserved for a woman in a white suit: Bianca Jagger or Celine Dion’s backwards Oscar outfit come to mind. But last night, when Evan Rachel Wood showed up to the Ides Of March premiere rocking a snow-white YSL gal tux (and those two-tone shoes, oh wow!), our sartorial joy was put on hold by her questionable curly pompadour. She’s a beautiful woman to be sure, but we just can’t quite make up our mind, re: that funky, fussy ‘do. Tell us: Would you ever rock Ms. Wood’s side-swept, curly faux-hawk, or should she have hidden that pretend pompadour under a hat?

Snag It: The Perfect Hairbrush To Combat Tangles And Fly-Aways

3 Cool Fall Hairstyles And Where To Get Them In L.A.
As September begins to wind down, even we Angelenos have to think about tossing aside our favorite Eres bikinis and gearing up for fall. Thankfully, our mild winters mean Isabel Marant denim shirts and suede booties instead of Moncler puffer jackets. But that doesn’t mean we don’t want to change our hair dramatically for fall to match our cool-weather wardrobes. Even the most ardent sun-worshippers in SoCal are ready to ditch the loose buns and hippie braids for something fresher and more sophisticated. And since beachy waves are as ubiquitous as reality-television stars here in the Southland, we’ve asked our favorite L.A. mane maestros to help you step up your hair game by dishing on the season’s hottest ‘dos. We got the experts at Byron and Tracey, Andy LeCompte, and Warren Tricomi to dish on their favorite fall trends. Not only did we snap them crafting their top tress trends on three real L.A. ladies (with insanely enviable fall manes!), but we also got tips for snagging these need-‘em-now sexy styles. Being a hot head never looked so good!
Katy Perry Goes Very Pink For Her Latest Cover
While we’re all but immune to getting shocked by Katy Perry’s hairstyles, her pink period seems to be here to stay. She debuted her hot head hue a few days before the VMAs, and now she’s covering InStyle rocking her rose locks. We’ve seen her with black, blue, purple, and tie-dyed tresses, but we’re still on the fence about her current color—does it feel like she’s copying Gwen Stefani from her Return Of Saturn era, or do you think Katy’s pink phase is a bright spot in her hair history?

Rihanna Goes Blonde For Her Latest Armani Ad
Rihanna rocked the red locks for quite some time, and while she had a brief brunette interlude, it looks like she’s arrived at her new hair hue: Blonde! The songstress debuted her new blonde mop in her latest ad for Armani, and we’re a bit on the fence about the cut and color. Tell us—do you love her latest hair adventure are you secretly hoping Riri is sporting a wig? (E)

Rooney Mara’s Short And Anything-But-Sweet…
It’s always interesting to see actresses transform for a role and completely switch up their looks: Think Natalie Portman in V For Vendetta or Gwyneth Paltrow in Sliding Doors. Rooney Mara went to the extreme with her in-character look for The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, but it seems she’s keeping her Lisbeth locks intact—at least when it comes to her super-short, dark hairdo. Seen last night at a Los Angeles screening for her newest flick, Tanner Hall, the stunning starlet showed off her short-shorn locks in a dark hue. We think the punky ‘do offsets her gorgeous doe eyes and crystal-clear skin, but tell us, what do you think of Rooney’s super-short hairstyle: Rad or bad?
