WHO'S YOUR HAIR ICON?

WHO'S YOUR HAIR ICON?

Our picks might surprise you!


Let's face it: I usually don't look to Jessica Biel for beauty tips.

But in addition to her newfound fashion cred (she's been sporting brands like Versace, 3.1 Phillip Lim, and Giambattista Valli within the past week), she's also been taking beauty risks with her ombre hair-color.

This unexpected idol made me wonder whose hairstyles other NYLON girls are currently coveting. Turns out, they're all across the board.

Ali loves Sienna Miller's long, shaggy bangs in the mod movie 'Alfie.'

Faran's obsessed with the 'My Little Pony' pastel pink and blue streaks from the fall '09 NYLON "It Girl" issue.

And, like me, Joelle is dying for dark roots and lighter tips (she credits Rachel Bilson for her inspiration).

But instead of just lusting after these styles from afar, I'm going to take the plunge and attempt it for myself. Jessica Biel's faded ombre locks, here I come.

Stay tuned to see how it goes!

Mary-Kate Olsen for her unbrushed locks and Nicole Richie's boho braids. Apparently, I like hair a little untidy...

I love Abbey Lee Kershaw's hair, I liked it before when it was long but it also looks great with short hair too. It's mainly because of the bangs, I love straight across bangs that are a little feathered and messy.

Chelsea

08/05/2010


Kristen Stewart, Emma Watson and Emma Roberts. I love how they dare to go from one end of the colour chart, to the other with their hair colours.

Emily

I absolutely love Vanessa Hudgens hair. The length is lovely and can go from sleek and professional to messy and sexy so quickly. She may have made some stupid mistakes in her life that people dislike her for, but you have to admit she's gorgeous and has the perseverance of a fearless girl.

I dig Angie Harmon's long ombre look (black to redbrown) and I am completely devoted to Hannah Spearritt's platinum pixie look.

Devon

There's an English pop star by the name of Frankie Sandford -- I LOVE her hair! I'm actually planning on getting my hair cut like hers tonight.

I have a whole folder of hairspiration! Ashley Olsen for the summer time and my fallback for fall Zooey Deschanel. Funny, I was thinking about doing this ombre thing too but more like Juliette Lewis' Iron Maven in Whip It.

Taylor Momsen when she had a shaggy look. I swear by that haircut!

Ines

I absolutely love Emma Watson's hair! She's such a darling person. Although her hair wasn't quite pleasant in the beginning of Harry Potter, once she's grown up a bit the locks are just perfect! Even now after the hair cut, she can rock it!

Ange

Maggie Gyllenhaal. Drew Barrymore. Ginnifer Goodwin.

Eva

Gisele Bundchen's hair is the most beautiful color evarr. She also has lighter tips but they look so California. I also will always stand by Kurt Cobain but am not gutsy enough to pull off short hair (yet). http://thatsjustmybag.onsugar.com

Jessie

08/06/2010


Oh gosh, I just love Blake Lively's hair! The whole beach look does it for me-- tousled, dirty blonde, wavy locks of gorgeous hair paired with a gorgeous girl!

Love Alexa Chung's hair when it is short. No fuss, wash and go, the way I like it.

Catey

I love Hayley William's from Paramore for hair color and for cut I am loving (and i mean loving) Ke$ha's hair in her "Take it Off" Video. I also love Taylor Momsen's cut. Other people I like are: Amy Adams (her hair color is fabulous!), Scarlet Johansson, and Keira Knightley. But that's just to name a few. The Ombre hair sounds awesome. I am sure it'll look fabulous!

Iffah

08/06/2010


Oh yes, Sienna in Alfie. I'm actually lusting after her entire look! Anyway, hair inspo has got to be Alexa Chung, hands down. Her frosted tips are amazing. And I'm always so terribly jealous of girls with hair that look like they didn't care. I have to care alot to make mine look like I don't care. Bother.

Savannah

Mia Farrow! I've got the same haircut she had in Rosemary's Baby and I love it! Super cute and easy to handle :)

Ketti

Sky Ferreira and Blake Lively. You'd be surprised how hard it it is to style long blond hair in an awesome way.

Well.. I can honestly say that Rachel Bilson's hair lately look amazing!!!! I live in LA and I found out who her colorist is... his name is Denis De Souza and he works at the Andy Lecompte salon... not only my hair looks the best it's ever looked but Denis is an amazing guy. Thought I'd share it with all of you...

Lexi

08/11/2010


Hands down for me is Zoe Saldana! I absolutely love her hair! I have the exact same texture as her(extremely small,crazy curls)! I based my hair cut from her April issue! It's sooo cute!! Also Yaya Decosta! Sometimes I just go natural and she's the one I thank! I just love curly hair!:D

Carisa
