Just like the rest of us, celebrities have good hair days, bad hair days and complete shockers. And it seems that most of their hair horrors seem to have happened on the GQ Man Award Red Carpet this fortnight.
But do you think we've got the wrong end of the stick? Are we misunderstanding Lily Allen's pin curls or is Saffron Aldridge's hair just a simple understated look?
On the other hand if you think Kylie Minogue's new long locks her just a bit mousy and non descript? Let us know on the MyHJi forums, plus join the debate about whether great celebrity hair is subjective?

With would-be first lady Michelle Obama wowing the crowds and John McCain's young charismatic running mate Sarah Palin hogging the headlines, never have women had such a big part to play in US politics.
And as American politics and image go together like pretzels and mustard, it's natural that these two fiesty females will need to use their style to impress the nation's voters.
So which one comes out in top in the hair style stakes; who's looking old hat and who is in need of a celebrity hair makeover?
We asked London Hairdresser Steven Carey to put the two leading leading ladies' locks under the microscope in a style head to head.

It's great to be back in the Britain after a couple of weeks touring Asia - even if all the clients I saw last Friday had to leave the salon in the pouring rain and have their beautifully coiffed hair ruined by the conditions.
As much as I'm glad to be back, it was a really lovely trip as the people are so gentle and positive and I really enjoyed the food!
That said, I was completely exhausted because I took in seven countries in just under three weeks and I must admit that by the end I didn't know where the hell I was! - it was just a continuous cycle of shows, seminars, press hair appointments and photo shoots.

Remember last year when Steve Strange nearly cut off a client's ear and a whole host of celebrities demonstrated that hairdressing really is a 'do not try this at home' profession? Well, Celebrity Scissorhands is coming back for a third series.
Once again, Lee Stafford will be at the helm, teaching a bunch of stars from the world of showbusiness how to cut hair; and once again clients will pay for the 'privilege' of having their hair cut by a complete novice.
Raising money for BBC Children in Need, Celebrity Scissorhands will take place in October and November and they are currently looking for anyone brave enough to allow a celebrity to cut and style their hair on television.
If you're keen, just fill in the application form and be prepared to pay whatever you think the cut is worth.

Anyhow we don't know who or what might have brought hair back into the nation's mindset(!), but the celebrity world has certainly upped its game with great hair on display at every bash going.
In a first, we found ourselves scraping the barrel for celebs who should sack their stylists - although we came up trumps in the end.
But do you agree with are views? Has Paris pulled off the Little Mermaid look? Is Dita's style looking dated? Have your say on the MyHJi forums.

Dated: September 18, 2008 3:26 PM It's been a busy couple of weeks for me. Last week I was involved in a magazine shoot every day. It sounds very glamorous, but you're actually in a dark studio being blinded by flashlights all day. I often get really bad headaches.
I do a photo shoot most weeks, but September is always busy as magazines catch up after the summer holiday season.
Today I was doing a shoot with Harpers Bazaar. The beauty editor is an old friend of mine and asked me to do the hair for the shoot which was looking at hair trends for the season ahead. The unusual element of the shoot was that she modelled for it!
Earlier this week I was asked to present an award at the Prima High Street Fashion Awards. I presented the trophy for Best High Street Evening Wear. I had a great night. It's good to meet new people.
My most exciting news is that I have been signed up for the next series of 10 Years Younger. This is fantastic news, as I know it was a much sought after slot. I'm thrilled and will be celebrating with some champagne later.

Imagine if you entered your first ever hairdressing competition and as a result found yourself swanning around Las Vegas watching Robert Cromeans in action and getting up close to John Paul Dejoria, founder and co-owner of Paul Mitchell Systems.

The talented hairdresser from Killenaule in Pinchbeck had never thought to enter a hair competition before and had certainly never had any encouragement to do so; so she was skeptical when her Paul Mitchell rep advised her to enter the Color Challenge.

We think these are the best and the worst of the looks on show at the Inside Soap Awards.
But if you think we've highlighted a celebrity hair horror or done a disservice to a great hairstyle don't forget you can chat about it on the MyHJi hairdressing forum.
