While it would be unnoticeable when she had long hair, Alyssa Milano's locks at the "Last Samurai" premiere last week were maybe an inch longer than the September "Tonight Show" premiere.

BTW, I wrote out the name of the movie Alyssa was in and this server rewrote it with symbols. The software is way too sensitive. |

She looks incredibly feminine with either cut, she's just so beautiful. I actually like her better with the ultra short cut, it brings out her features so well, and it... well... reminds me of how my love Tina wears her hair.

But when has she ever once looked like a man? *laughs* You must know some pretty convincing drag queens!

| Be kind. If he can't tell the difference between Alyssa Milano and a man, dating must be awfully, awfully hard for growler. |

Agree with the above posts. If Alyssa Milano looks like a man, I've been gay all these years and didn't realize. Thanks for pointing that out. ------------- Peace to all |

| I know I shouldn''t be greedy, but I can''t help wishing she had experimented with different styles and even shorter cuts before deciding to grow it out again. Or maybe she did, but chose not to share the results with us. Or maybe she still has surprises in store for us... |

Yeah. Wow. Me too. It's one thing to say you don't like short hair, don't think short hair looks attractive on women, or prefer long hair, but how you can look at Alyssa's body and think she looks like a man, I have no idea. ------------- |

Speaking of Alyssa, she seems to be sticking with her super short style although in the past she has changed her hair so quickly. Did anyone see her on the UNICEF Goodwill Gala Celebrating 50 Years of Celebrity Goodwill Ambassadors - Red Carpet 12/3/2003 at WireImage? She appears to be wearing a blue headband or flower or barrette or something in her hair. Can anyone figure out what it is? |

Hi, Wow. I see what you mean. I just tried to look and can see the blue thingy but can't figure out if it is a barrette or a headband or what. Anyone have any ideas? Karen ------------- That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger or drives you totally insane. :-) |

Hair accessories! Yippee! I can only see the thumbnails, but it looked like a couple of little blue flowers, to me. Probably a hair clippie, but I'm not sure. Looks good, though. I really like short hair with cute accessories :-) . ------------- More awesome than a manatee! |

Uhhh.... just how many different styles could she try with 1-inch long hair? And... you wanted to see even shorter cuts? (puzzled) Regarding the InStyle article... I see the use of trite myths used to sell short haircuts -- such as "This cut was very liberating," "She's not hiding behind a lot of hair," "It lifts cheekbones," and "brings out the eyes" -- has not yet gone out of style. Pity. ------------- |

It does not make a girl feel liberated to cut her hair super short, long hair does not hide features, shorthair does not bring out there eyes? Wow how intresting that you tell us that because I fell for there lies to. I thought it brought out Alyssa eyes and I thought she was Very pretty in short hair, but if your right she is just a victim of long hair haters, shame on them for cutting Alyssas hair like she wanted and shame one them for saying nice things about it to. Not every one looks sexy with super long hair or do everyone want long hair, Just as not everyone looks good in short hair. I love short hair but I don't say that its a waste to have long hair or that they look bad in long hair, its one thing to love long hair but another to say that a hair stylist who has been cutting hair fore a long time and goes to seminars and classes to learn new ways of styling hair does not know what they are talking about. If theyt said that long hair brought out her eyes and check bones would you agree with him then? |

Inch-long hair won't hold much in the way of fancy hair clippies and things, but it is good for playing with various hair products, like trying different spiked, tousled, or punkish styles, playing with texture, putting on temporary blue streaks or glitter or whatever, or you could make it femme with scarves, headbands, dainty stick-on or snap-on flowers or jewels. . . there are actually lots of things a creative mind can do with very short hair. But with it getting a little longer, she can use more fancy hairpins and clippies, which is really nice, also. *shrugs* I could list just as many trite myths used to sell women on long hair, like claiming long hair is more feminine (it's not the hair, but the person wearing it that determines if someone looks feminine or masculine), or that long hair is so much more versatile (versatility of any style depends on the creativity and willingness of its wearer to experiment), and of course using long hair to hide flaws, which is really funny, because in its way it's actually offending the client rather than helping her feel better. . . Relax, there's no conspiracy to rid all the women in the world of their hair. It's just people standing on opposite sides of a fence flinging poo in at each other :-P .

It will take someone (or several) with more star power than Alyssa, to get a haircut as severe 1" pixie, mainstream in 2004 hair fashion for sure. The main problem is that in this current culture short short hair has become analagous with a gender-bend or radical feminism. (Even in the case of someone as physically attractive as Alyssa Milano) Neither of these are maintream ideals emulated by the majority in todays society. Notice that in the last decade, very long hair and very short hair has become to be viewed not as a normal progression in hair fashion, but as a social statement. If you ask me this is stereotyping of the worst sort. Long, long hair = Earthy, hippie, fashion backward Short, short hair = Lesbian, feminist, man hater Being "in fashion" is exlusitory by it's very nature and while most will say that they "accept" these fashions they will not go as far as to encourage wide spread acceptance by adopting them themselves. Personally, I find it a fascinating dynamic. For instance, if I pose questions to young ladies in the salon chair about Alyssa's new haircut I'll get a variety of enthusiastic and emotion void responses from clients. The most common one is, "It looks great on her, but I could never cut my hair that short, my boyfriend would kill me." (meaning at least to this casual observer, that she couldn't possibly risk having him find her defined from her new haircut as asexual and untatractive) Yes, I'll acknowledge that it's a nervous response and should be taken somewhat in jest; but I contend that her cheif concern is that she's deathly afraid of how he would ultimately respond to her as a women. What is unspoken is that she is insecure if not down-right afraid that she might lose his affections to a prettier women with more socially acceptable (longer) hair. In this regard, I would offer that we as men and women haven't come very far as a society as we think that we have. Have we? |

No. I'm saying that they're selling an attitude.
Now you're putting words in my mouth.
I have no quibble with the stylist professing his opinion that he finds her attractive/beautiful in the short haircut. The rest of the stuff (quoted before) was pure selling of an attitude. The long and short pictures of her in the referenced instyle article show just about 100% of her face.
Victim of long hair haters? Hah. More words you wish to put in my mouth. My post isn't about what Alyssa wanted. I assume she wanted her hair short. It doesn't mean that we aren't entitled to our opinions of the look. And of course the stylist is going to say nice things about the haircut. Why would he criticize his own doings? duh.
You seem to have missed the entire point. Do you get it now?
No, I would not. I disagree with that perspective. As I just said, the photos from the instyle article both show all of her face. I have no trouble seeing her eyes and cheekbones extremely well with her hair long. Do you? If so, do you suffer some physical sight impairment?
I'll grant you that there can be a variety of styles with ultra-short hair, but at the same time will say that I believe longer hair has more versatility yet. No matter, as long as the individual is satisfied with their styling options, that's "all that matters" (at least in regard to that issue). One of my friends says that long hair enhances the appeal of person, regardless of gender (which to her means that long-haired men are more attractive than short-haired men). So there are a variety of opinions out there. Funny, I've read the "this haircut helps hide/mask flaws" statement (not often, but I have seen it written). No worries here about the conspiracy theory you describe... but we all seem to do quite well here at "slingin' the do"...
Hi Carmichael, Not the just last decade... last two decades and more... although (in a hopeful note) I sense that the stereotypes aren't nearly as pervasive (though this may be wishful thinking on my part). ------------- |

You sound like two little kids with your bickering. One likes short hair on women the other long hair on women. So why the silly argument? You guys are like little kids. There isn't a better hairstyle, just your own like or dislike. Short hair is not for every woman because the fact is you really can see the woman's features more than with long hair, including her ears and head shape, ...so she better look good with short hair otherwise she should wear fairly long hair. |

It seems my point is still not understood. Why is (almost) everybody filtering my message through my avowed preference for long hair? The issue is not about whether she looks better or worse with short hair. The issue is not about whether she wanted the short haircut. The issue is about the politicized statements contained within the text of the Instyle article. Go back and re-read it, and read my post from 28-Dec-2003 @ 5:42:45 PM. I am criticizing the use (by the stylist/editor) of referenced statements (ex: "... lifts cheekbones..."). ------------- |

| I really don't give a rip about Alyssa Milano one way or another, but she sure looked better with long hair. I figure if there are 20-some entries on this Hair Talk topic, I might as well be one of them. : ) |

Gotta side with Gord on this one. I guess she looks better with short hair, but I really couldn't care less either way. AM will always be a trampy, second tier, significant only to Maxim readers sort of celebrity. So what. |
