The Stars Love the Top Knot

The top knot or high bun is here to stay, well at least for now.  It seems as though the celebrities love throwing their hair up into a high bun and going on their merry way.  

It's this photo of Christina Milan and daughter Violet just the cutest?  Christina is rocking her top knot while Violet rocks baby puffs.  

Nicole Richie sports her top knot while working out!  

Looks like Kourtney Kardashian and Kim Kardashian both sport matching top knots after workouts too!  


So ladies, do you rock a top knot? 

Number 1 Hair Style in America

Quick guess what hairstyle is the most popular style in America?  If you guessed the Ponytail then you are correct.  According to a study done by Goody 56 percent—say that the ponytail is their favorite hairstyle when wearing hair pulled back. Sixty percent say quickness is the main reason to resort to ponytails so often.  


I must admit, while the ponytail is not my favorite hairstyle it's probably one that I wear often.  The ponytail has got to be the easiest hairstyle to do, plus it's simple to do.  

Vanessa Simmons Braided 'Do

Yesterday, Vanessa Simmons attended the Give Back Hollywood Foundation's benefit for VH1 Save the Music Foundation.  Vanessa looked awesome with the bob she's been recently sporting, but she changed it up by adding two loose braids in the front that were pinned back off the face.  The rest of her hair had a slight wave to it and overall the look seems easy to recreate.

I'll be trying it, how about you?

Selita Ebanks Red Cropped Bob

Selita Ebanks stepped out at the Carol's Daughters big event for their new Monoi Hair Care Collection sporting a cropped red bob. I've waited and waited to post my thoughts about her new 'do because I thought I'd give the new style time to grow on me and alas it hasn't. I know a lot of people think she has a strange look, but I think she's beautiful and should keep her hair off of her face. This face does not need bangs!

Do you see the image of her in the background on the billboard with the loose flowing wavy texture? Well, that is the exact hair style that I love her with. The new look is edgy and daring, but I'm not a fan.

Cassie, on the other hand, shaved the other half of her head and I just love the look. Her entire face looked amazing at the event. She really has the perfect canvas for a look, right? Who would have thought the shaved sides would look great for this long?

I read online somewhere that Cassie said she usually wears her hair in it's natural state (curly) when she's just hanging out but doesn't like for people to see it. I couldn't help but think to myself, Girl Please! We've seen it before, back in the day when you used to model for Delia's.... Ladies, do you remember that?

I think Solange stole the show in her laid back yellow pants suit and big afro. She just kills anything she wears, I love this chick!

AHS asks: What do you guys think about the new 'do?
