It looks like Charisma Carpenter has gone blonder and shorter (jaw-length) with her bob. Check out the trailer for the new Angel Episode at www.thewb.com or at www.vidiot.com. She`s only on for a sec. but the episode airs this coming Monday.

UGH.

I really liked her better before she started playing with the blonde and the shorter lengths. I thought she looked so much better on Buffy when her hair was darker. Just my opinion though. :-)

Best wishes,
Karen

I agree with Karen. She looked great on Buffy - even with the thick heavy bangs she sported for awhile.

I think she looks great both ways, I even got the short straight bob. I`m also thinking of blonde highlights, although very subtle.

I saw her in a preview for a micro second last night. To me, her hair looked like Jennie Garth`s on 90210 during her whole drug problem thing, on the show. (It`s on FX at 2 here now).
I`m not sure if I like it. Maybe it was just pulled back.

Totally off the suject but I just watched
that 90210 yesterday! Total coincidence,
Ifound that episode on a old tape.
But anyway I just love Claires(cant think of her real name) hair color.
Do you remember what it looked like?
Do you know how I could explain these highligh with dark underneath to my hairdresser?
thanks if you know

She looks amazing! Just saw her on Angel a little earlier tonight. Her hair is really short. Its a really short crop, which appears to be longer in front & on top then in the back. Also her hair only looks blond from the front. It seemed to me that her hair was its natural brunette in the back. I know some people aren`t going to like it but I hope she keeps this look for a while. Short hair really suits her well.

It`s ok. I don`t really like how the back it cut. The color is nice though.

To respectfully disagree and to quote Mr. Horse from the old "Ren&Stimpy" show, "No sir, I don`t like it."

The cut isn`t terrible, since Charisma is attractive enough to pull it off, though she does look better with the length below her chin. However, the extra-blonde color, combined with the unfortunate two-tone effect of the naturally dark back has GOT TO GO. She looks SO much better with dark hair at any length, as evidence just by the quick shots of her in the opening credits. And that isn`t just my preference for brunettes talking.

Oh, and I read somewhere (maybe even here on this board) that the producers wanted her to go blonder to make her character seem less dark (figuratively and, I guess, literally) than the rest of the cast. My only question is why poor Charisma has to suffer just so Amy Acker (Fred) can keep her long dark locks. Yeah, I know it`s more appropriate for Fred`s character than Cordelia`s, but I can rant anyway, can`t I? =)

Hm, that`s very nice, I think. But I seem to be a minority here.

Saw her on Angel last night - mixed feelings. I actually like the blonde color quite a bit (surprisingly) and kind of like the cut IF it`s styled just right and viewed from the front at the precise right angle. But like most "angular" cuts, ultimately it looks awkward and not very flattering IMHO, especially the two-tone dealie in the back. What happens when she walks outside and the wind lifts up that piece on the right side of her face?

One other thing, Charisma - if you`re going to keep an angular cut like that, which demands the hair fall a certain way close to your face, could you please, PLEASE not tuck it behind your ear for just a little while???

Sorry, personal grievance there....
