Robin Meade went darker

I like it, and especially liked the styling - off her face, lots of volume, and some nice soft waves to boot. Best style she's had in a while, methinks.

Robin goes in cycles. Click on this link and scroll down to see my ideal Robin Meade. I entered this three days ago. I jinxed it.

Robin Meade didn't look darker today. She looked fantastic.

I've been torn the last couple weeks. That's when Robin Meade when shorter several noticible inches.

I'm not convinced those are extensions. A couple of weeks of growth, plus having it blown out straight and flat, plus a different sitting posture could account for the couple of inches difference in length.

For my view, I think Robin's hair, though always wonderful, has been on the bland side recently, and hope she spices it up by adding some volume, flipping it out, curling it, etc.

It doesn't make sense to me that a woman with long hair would add minor extensions to make her hair slightly longer. But then again, that appears to be what Kieran Chetry is doing....

Well maybe she wants to see what is better for her. Adding lenght might be her way in testing the water she if she likes it to be longer. Or might be test to see if they comments on what Robin is better longer or shorter.

I sometimes worry that when a newsbabe goes on vacation, she's going to come back to work with a haircut that is not an improvement. Katie Couric used to do that all the time. So this week, I loved it when Robin Meade returned frin vacation and somehow looked better than when she left. Her hair is a few shades lighter, but it's still long. Robin, you were missed!

It's unusual to see anchor type people with long hair (where i am, anyway) but she has gorgeous locks.

Some of the folks commenting on www.reportercaps.com say Robin Meade got her hair cut. I haven't seen any clear cut evidence of this, but she often hides her hair after getting it cut and she's had it behind her back or pinned up this week.

I don't think it's an improvement. I remember a year or two ago, when I thought Robin's hair looked consistently fantastic. It was a sassy auburn color, had nice bangs to set off her eyes, looked full every day, and often had waves, flips, and curls to give it personality. Now it's 1) thinner-looking; 2) flatter; 3) doing that thing where the long pieces angle in toward the neck, which only TV newswomen still do; 4) darker; 5) bereft of any interesting movement, such as flippy layers, curls, waves, etc; 6) missing bangs to set off her eyes.

I'm sorry, but I don't get how a blander color and a flatter, blander style constitute an improvement. However, I admit that's my bias, so if you do think it looks better now, speak up!
