SHARYN ALFONSI

Some preferred this CBS babe as a short hair...but I think the longer style wins all hands down!

The short style is OK but with her face shape the longer style is more flattering.

Duh, long hair doesn't look hot on everyone nor does short.

Long hair even on a long face can be worked into a good sytle. So I think that long face long hair should be thrown out. Hey Fat very nice. She looks great with long hair.

She could keep the sides short keep the bangs like they are and let the rest grow. I bet that would also work.

Here's a growing out photo.

Interesting!  I'm glad I saw this.  I have a face shape that is similar to hers and I'm considering growing my hair long but I'm scared that it may not be flattering.  But you know what - short hair isn't flattering either and I'm sick of being stuck with the mid-length styles! I was glad to read Mike46019's remark that even longer hair can be worked into a good style for someone with a long face.  I agree; while face shape is an important factor in considering a style, it's not the only factor to be considered.

I don't know how anyone could not like the first picture, I think she looks awesome with short hair. The longer style works too, but I think the short style really makes her eyes sparkle, flatters her face more and, to me, she looks like someone ready to have fun at a moments notice. She apparently had the short style to save on time when she had a morning news spot and had to be up super early in the mornings.

She's beautiful, but the short cut would work better if it didn't create an almost "square" frame around her face, emphasizing its long shape. The medium-and longer length styles add width to her face, making it appear more classically oval & less long. But a pixie cut with longer angled bangs (i.e. shortest at the part and longer near the temples, even long enough to graze her eyebrows) and wispier and fuller hair around her face and ears would look equally soft with her face shape.

Not only can your hairstyle change the appearance of your face shape, but so can camera angle.

Apparently she's leaving CBS.


MONDAY, JUN 11
Sharyn Alfonsi Leaving CBS News
Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi is leaving CBS News at the end of her contract, two tipsters tell TVNewser.

The network says it won't comment on contractual matters. Update: 3:45pm: But it will say that she is currently a CBS News correspondent.

The tipsters say news of Alfonsi's intended departure circulated on Friday. "Alfonsi was very well-liked and highly respected amont the ranks," one CBSer says. "CBS wanted her to stay and become the national correspondent," describing her as a "rising star."

She has been based in New York since 2004, and saw her airtime increase dramatically under Bob Schieffer. "She has been the lead correspondent on many domestic and international stories for the Network," her bio says.
