At TheHairstyler.com we like debate- you know, going head to head with someone when you don't quite agree with their opinion. Recently Sue and Roger went head to head talking about short hair, and today two of our most respected consultants, Serah and Roy, are going head to head about the hairstyles at this year's Emmys.
They've each chosen what they think are the most interesting Emmy hairstyles, and then they've commented on each other's choices. Read what they say about the hairstyles and how to achieve them yourself, and most importantly, see if you agree with their styling criticisms.
Heidi Klum
Roy says: Come off it Serah, you actually rate this as good? I agree with some of your points: it is "simple" and "head turning," but too simple for my liking and I reckon it's turning heads in the opposite direction. This "Nape Knot" style (as I call it) seemed to be the signature look at the 2008 Emmys, and Heidi's just jumped on the band wagon. And something else I thought is that she looked just a little masculine (some are even saying that Heidi had a drag queen look about her). Finally, I think her color was too light and washed-out looking. It needed more honey tones to brighten her peaches and cream complexion.
America Ferrera
Serah says: I think America was trying to go for a more classic hairstyle which, from the roots to mid-lengths looked fantastic. But I agree with Roy: anything below that looked "collapsed." A traditional roller set would've held her waves a lot tighter than what she ended up with (maybe she ran out of strong hair lacquer too). At least we can say her makeup looked great...
Kate Walsh
Roy says: You know I can't believe I'm seeing another boring hairstyle for what is supposed to be a major event. Perhaps next year the organizers should write down "black tie and formal hairstyles a must" on their invitations. Kate's layered front area works for me, but her sides are about 3 inches too long, making her hair look fine and flat, and making the overall shape look too long for her face. I think some shorter angled bangs would have helped here... Lastly, the color is plain but okay: at least it's the right tone for her complexion.
Jennifer Love Hewitt
Roy says: Yes I'd have to agree with you again Serah. Here we go again: natural frizzy hair and no styling products in sight! What's going on? If anything this hairstyle really demonstrates how bad anybody can look, even celebrities who pay thousands of dollars for their hairstyles. The back looks a little better than the front... it was more organized, but the entire look was high, hairy, and hideous. Maybe Jennifer just saw a ghost.
There you have it: Roy and Serah's head to head debate about what they think are the most interesting Emmy's hairstyles and why. My advice to you is this: read their opinions, think about their styling criticisms, and use this knowledge yourself when you're thinking about getting your own hairstyle change.
