Kelly Ripa

Kelly will have her hair cut for the show on Thursday.  She is letting the audience decide how to cut it.  There are five styles to chose from on the website.  They're all basically similar versions of the just below the chin bob that she's had in the past.

I also love Kelly's current haircut and wish she wouldn't go through with this.  I was hoping it was just the "virtual" gag.

But if she does, can someone find out if it'll be recorded for the internet users, like Ann's cut?

Thanks.

The funny thing is, the day after- on Friday, they have a guest who specializes in extensions. Maybe she booked that guest just in case the haircut goes bad! Wouldn't that be funny!

I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, it seems like she's had the
same length and cut forever, and would look great in any one of a
bunch of new and shorter and/or layered styles that have become
popular in the last few years. And I say that even though she's been
wearing it curly quite a bit the past few weeks! I'd vote for bangs too,
as the front section always seems to hang very heavy and fall in her
face.

Still, I watched the segment yesterday where they showed about a
dozen potential styles, and they were pretty much universally panned
by Kelly, Regis, and the entire audience. And I'd agree - all the styles
seemed completely out of left field, all some combination of not right
for Kelly, not in style, ratty, or all of the above. No bangs, no layers,
no flips, nothing that would (IMHO) really compliment her face in a
new and different way. Everyone seemed stunned at how bad the
choices were (the audience kept booing, and Kelly kept saying
"They're speaking for me too!")

Still, Kelly seems to have culled it down to her "top" 5. I picked #3
because to me it seemed the best of a bad bunch an offered the
most possible styling options. I would've gone for #2, which I thought
looked the best, but which I know will last 4 seconds with that shape
before the ear tucks begin.

If I were her, I'd ask for a postponement until someone can create a
style she actually likes! How hard can that be? But since that likely
won't happen, I'll just keep my fingers crossed and watch with one
eye closed.

By the way, on tomorrow's (Wednesday's) show they're having Oscar
Blondi on to show some other "hot" styles, might be worth tuning in.

They show some hair models and Kelly said she wanted to keep it in a ponytail. but then a girl came out with a short type of bob with a heavy bang and shorter back. Kelly said she loved that cut. i think she might have gone it but have to wait and see.

interesting gimmick, ratings must be sliding.....

She cut her hair so that it's just brushing against her shoulders, with sideswept bangs. A semi-significant cut (in an office people might notice, but not react a whole lot), but I'm not sure it's worth 4 days of build-up.

Kind of disappointing, because I thought she looked really cute with the short bobs. And seriously... 3 days of build up for basically a healthy trim? Sheesh.

I haven't seen it yet but that would have to be a good 10 or 12 inches right?  Thats a pretty major cut in my book!

 

She basically cut the damaged, very thin, layers off. I'd agree that it was not worth all the build up. Her hair needed to be trimmed up. She probably could have kept a couple more inches in length if she wanted to. The end result is nice but not worth all the hoopla. She looks great with long and mid length styles but if you're going to make a big deal about it go for something new and different. She could pull off a chin length or shorter style.

Nice cut, she's pretty, anticlimactic result for all the media hoopla.

     I haven't seen it yet, but Kelly has had her hair layered at her shoulders several times in the past. She always has the same look, sometimes shorter, sometimes longer, but NEVER spectacular. The before pics were possibly the best I've ever seen of her, but IMO it was too layered to really look smashing. So, a mild disappointment.

     But Kel, if you really wanted long hair, you should have demanded that the producers back off. You're big enough to tell subordinates to stick it where the sun cannot shine! (lol) How these stars allow themselves to be bullied into mediocre or horrible haircuts I'll never understand.
