Mariah Carey Hairstyle 2008
Mariah's locks were let loose last year at the VH1 Save the Music Gala. The waves work really well, and sliced ends effectively give her edges a softer look. It's a good style if you've got an oval or diamond shaped face, and fine to medium texture hair.
But Mariah's face is a little bit too long to make this style totally work. More angled bangs would have been better to shorten the appearance of her face. She got the length right though, because wearing her hair down not up is definitely the right hairstyle for her face shape.

Rihanna Hairstyle -Chunky is Good 2008

I'm getting over her too, but let's face it: her hair always looks good. Crops are in, and Rihanna's skipped the "conservative mom" look (Katie Holmes' current hairstyle) and gone for a funky asymmetrical style. Key is having one side cut shorter above the ear and the top tapering down to the opposite side.

This hairstyle gets a big thumbs up from me. It's the perfect razor-cut, and the chunky violet sections are eye-catching and attention grabbing. Could Rihanna do something even better at the MTV awards?

Britney Spears Hairstyle 2008

Britney's hairstyle from last year has the potential to look luscious. Length has been left to hang down the mid back, and sliced layers have been cut through the back and sides to ease weight around the edges. Pinning the hair up is a great way to add height.

For Britney though, too much bleach ruined the potential of this style. Like any color, it's important to make sure it matches your complexion, and in Britney's case a more golden color would have suited her peaches and cream complexion better. (She would have benefitted from "Choosing Your Skin Tone and Enhancing Your Hair Color," our free hairstyle consultation). The pressure's on for this "comeback kid" at the MTV awards, and many people will be watching this space.

Madonna Hairstyle 2008

Madonna wore this medium curly hairstyle late last year in New York. It's been cut to one length, and layers through the back and sides have helped intensify the volume. At the front, layers were cut to shape her face, and it's quite a low maintenance style.

This hairstyle could be better, and I'm sure even Perez Hilton would be a little disappointed with Madonna here. It's just a bit "regular" don't you think? And its shape is a little too triangular and short and makes her heart shaped face look even wider. My suggestion for the MTV awards: keep the color only.
