Wow she just keeps on getting more beautiful. On this evidence, she'd be nuts to go back to that old pixie style. That was OK...sexy even..but this is just...greeeaaaat!!!
Wow... she does look amazing. A different sort of beautiful than with her short hair, I think. Here, she's an elegant sort... with the short hair, she was a little more frisky and playful.
Well, yes it does look beautiful, but here's the thing. As you probably remember from previous threads Halle has the rights to and plans to star in "Nappily Ever After". In the book, the heroine has long, chemically straightened hair which, upon breaking up with her boyfriend, she shears off into a short, natural 'do.
I wasn't sure where production of this stood, but since it appears that Halle has gone from curly to straight in her last couple of appearances, I fear that her long locks may not reside on her lovely noggin much longer.
Disappointing, but c'est la vie. Well, with a healthy dose of frustration.
As usual, JF
3 pm is simultaneously too late and too early to start anything.

The question I had was is she using hair extensions now? When she was wearing it curly she was definitely using extensions and then it looked like back in the fall she had taken them out. But in these latest pictures with her hair straight, it seems her hair looks awfully long for it to be real. Perhaps I'm forgetting how much extra length could've been wrapped up in the curls?
I think we're seeing proof that Halle is simply one of the most beautiful women on the planet. She was fabulous with short hair. She was fabulous with long curly hair, she is fabulous with long straight hair...
I have to say that even as a short hair fan she is just stunning in these pictures. Most women don't get that much length with such healthy looking hair. She looks like a cartoon godess come to life.
Given the same dress, makeup, and incredible skin I think she would have been equally stunning with her pixie and neck exposed, but I'm going to give the long hair proponents credit where credit is due and just say this is as close to perfect as long hair could be...
Her long hair has to be a wig or extensions. Yet all of you are right, Halle is gorgeous in short or long hair. I still prefer her though in her short pixie.
I would be interested in what she will look like in that new movie with the ultra short afro. I'm sure she will be stunning!

I think these movies where famous ladies get shorn are becoming awfully passe'...didn't do anything for Demi Moore, Cate Blanchett or Bai Ling. I fear a similar HalleBerry movie will just be rather boring.
Anyway, I agree that she is gorgeous with any look.
Actually there are very few movies where women get their heads shaved.
It seems to me that it is passe or boring only if shaving the woman's head has nothing to do with the plot of the film, or if the women doesn't look good bald.
Some women don't look all that good bald, however some look gorgeous bald. Bai Ling looked very good bald. My guess is that HalleBerry will look good bald as well.

Unhappiness :-( . It went from huge and overwhelming to flat and boring. I don't care to see her completely bald, but shorter works best for her, anything from the pixie she's famous for to the curly bob in those ads. She's still a beautiful woman no matter what, but why settle for just being beautiful when she can look like a goddess?
Probably true. But I just think that good long hair is a good starting point for most beautiful women. As someone once said, hair is a woman's ultimate accessory and a beautiful woman has more things she can do with long hair than short hair. She can pull it back, have it up, wear it down, have a pony tail...in general have fun with her hair and enjoy it. As a change, it's great to see short hair on a woman (like Raschel Weisz now), but I think it's better when you know the general tendency is for it to be long. Just my opinion of course!
As for the 'bald ladies in film' thing (not that I think HalleBerry has any intention of going bald), I believe it is mostly unnecessary and is just really playing on the emotional sensibilities of the star's fan base: a way to get gossip moving about a movie or project. After all, nobody has their arm chopped off, if they need to portray a disabled person.
I've gotta add my vote for her old short spiky look. This long straight look is pretty and elegant, and Heaven knows Halle looks gorgeous in any style. But to me, the short spiky style was the most unique, had the most personality, and really made her stand out. Hope she returns to it someday.

I think Halle has never looked better than in her latest pics. The long straight hair is breathtaking. Also, her latest pics for Revlon where it is long and curly are stunning. I prefer Halle 100 times more with long hair. The short hair was cute for sure, but imo, not sexy, not elegant, and basically, pretty common. I hope she keeps this look for a long time!
According to Yahoo Movies 'Nappily Ever After' is still in some limbo pre-production stage and HalleBerry is currently involved with filming another project.
Rardman, I could not disagree with you more. Halle looked much sexier and more elegant with her short pixie. It is long straight hair on women that is common. It is very ordinary, a dime a dozen. Having stated that, Halle obviously is beautiful in any hair length or style.

Wow! As a die-hard short hair fan, I was totally prepared to hate it as I clicked on the link (remember the wavy extensions she had for Gothika - ugh), but it actually looks good on her!
I think deep down I still crave the punky pixie on her, but this looks great!
