Short hairstye icon and famous TV journalist Katie Couric was quoted in Life & Style Magazine in the November 27th, 2006 issue as saying “lets face it, I’m not Pamela Anderson.  I’m not so attractive it gets in the way of being taken seriously.  But I do what I can with what I’ve got.”

Indeed, no one would ever confuse the mostly short hairstyle coiffed blonde with the blonde Pamela.  Does Katie wear her hair short because of her desired to be taken seriously?  It’s possible but will we ever know for sure?

Katie did cause quite a controversy in April of 2009 when she unveiled a short hairstyle that was a much shorter chop then her normal chin length bob short hairstyles.

Indeed, critics felt Katie went with the severe short hairstyle to help draw attention to her sagging news show.  Did it help?  Maybe, Katie is still in the anchor chair as we approach 2010. (more…)

1.  Comfort Is Key - Select a hair length and style that is fun, easy to maintain and makes you feel great about yourself.  It’s important you enjoy your hair.  Love how you wear your hair and enjoy it.  Wear it for you and no one else.

2.  Have A Go Anywhere Hairstyle - Always have a classic hairstyle you can easily create for both casual and formal events.  You may wish to keep hair accessories keyed to your various hair styles such as a jeweled headband or clips for twists or updos.

Clip-in ponytails, bangs and hair extensions are also great standby hair styling options that can instantly transform your hair into good hair days. (more…)

Ellen immediately zoned in on Patricia’s sassy short hair cut which combines a long side swept front fringe cascading from a deep side part.  The rest of the hair is much shorter and slightly layered along the sides and back.

The actress’ hair is a gorgeous buttery blonde with hints of platinum lowlights.  Her hair looks shiny, healthy full of great body.

Ellen told Patricia who looked cute in a jacket and matching slacks “Hi Patricia, I love your hair” and the actress said “I’m trying to copycat you, but then you went shorter.”  Ellen agreed she had gone even shorter “I’ve got to switch it up every once in awhile.”

The funny lady asked Patricia “How long had it been since you cut your hair?”  She said “It’d been a long time, I was trying to grow it as long as I could and then the show…last year at the end of the show….I had a brain tumor, so they said ‘how do you feel about cutting your hair?’ (more…)
