The Best Heads of Hair In The Business. What's Your Secret? You Can Tell Me. Is It Unicorn Blood? It's Unicorn Blood, Isn't It?

By Joanna Robinson | Posted Under Miscellaneous | Comments (53)

Oh sure, I hear ya. Celebrities have access to all kinds of schmancy products and teams of fawning assistants to make ensure that every curl, fringe and wave is in place. But, let’s face it, some are just more follicularly blessed than others. I don’t know what they’re slathering on their rich, famous heads. But I want some.

Sofia Vergara: I had Ms. Vegara turn around for this photo so you wouldn’t be distracted by her other…assets… frontsets?

Amanda Seyfried: Say what you will about Ms. Seyfried’s wide-eyed resemblance to a fish (mudskipper, I believe it was), the girl has really great goldy locks.

Connie Britton: Have you watched “Friday Night Lights” yet? I’ll keep bothering you until you do. Tami Taylor (as played by the lovely Connie Britton) has the most gorgeous hair (especially when it’s framing sassy looks like this one).

Esperanza Spalding: Listen, this young lady is uber talented and I have to thank the Grammy’s for bringing her to my attention. Also, great f*cking hair. Even Bieber thinks so.

Robin Wright: First of all, we’re all glad you’ve dropped the “Penn” from your life and your name. It was cumbersome. Second of all, Buttercup, love your hair. Love it.

Lucy Liu: Much was made of Portia Di Rossi’s hair when she and Lucy Liu were on “Ally McBeal” but I always preferred Liu’s…even if now, thanks to Tarantino, I associate it with a snowy scalping.

Karen Gillan: I love redheads. I could have done an entire post of redheads. But Gillan is my favorite ginger snap these days. Also. I WANT MORE “DOCTOR WHO” STARTING YESTERDAY, PLEASE.

Adam Scott: Okay, listen gents, there’s nothing wrong with thinning hair or an entirely bald pate. Personally, I find Ed Harris to be molto sexy. But you have to admit there’s something impressive about Adam Scott’s head which has ten times the follicles of the average Joe. I think he may be part hedgehog.

Joanna Robinson whipped her hair back and forth a few times whilst writing this.

Heeee. I love this post. Mainly for the hedgehog. Catherine Zeta Jones also has GORGEOUS hair. And I'm a big fan of Amy Adams' locks.

Shout out for the full haired dudes!

Posted by: Will at February 22, 2011 4:05 PM

I read that Amanda Seyfried has never colored her hair.

I'm outing myself as a TV viewer of questionable taste, but the girls on Pretty Little Liars have STUNNING hair. It's a Pantene commercial on that show.

Posted by: TWoP Fan at February 22, 2011 4:06 PM

Part hedgehog, indeed. Good call.

Posted by: tamatha at February 22, 2011 4:08 PM

Meh - not crazy about Britton's or Wright's hair. Boring. As for the dudes, I must say R. Pattinson and Prince Harry have beautiful heads of hair.

I always though crazy-pants Jennifer McCarthy had pretty hair.

Posted by: samantha t at February 22, 2011 4:08 PM

Matt Leblanc (with his newly-discovered sexual allure) has great hair. Colin Farrell too.

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at February 22, 2011 4:11 PM

I thought you were gonna shut up.

Posted by: Mrs. Skipper at February 22, 2011 4:12 PM

Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai has gorgeous hair and eyes.

Posted by: Jadine at February 22, 2011 4:13 PM

JESUS! You startled me. Where did you-- I mean that was another thr-- You can't just fol-- Stop looking at me like that.

Fine!

I'll shut up.

But only if you do too.

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at February 22, 2011 4:14 PM

TWoP Fan, I am with you in that I totally love that show in a very defensive and slightly sheepish way, and also can't stop coveting the luxurious manes of the main characters. Especially Emily's. Girlfriend is like, alien pretty.

Posted by: Dorothy Snarker at February 22, 2011 4:14 PM

Deal.

Posted by: Mrs. Skipper at February 22, 2011 4:14 PM

Speaking of hair, I saw some candids of John Travolta on vacation somewhere online today in all of his balding glory. He actually looks better au natural than with his wig.

Posted by: Jadine at February 22, 2011 4:15 PM

holla on connie britton, and i'd add kyle chandler as well. the taylor family is blessed with beautiful hair of which i highly covet

Posted by: the chaplain at February 22, 2011 4:19 PM

I loved that Travolta photo. I almost made it my Facebook profile picture.

Posted by: Mrs. Kowalski at February 22, 2011 4:20 PM

The only thing I ever think about Simon Baker when I see him is "That man has some nice hair."

Posted by: Parker at February 22, 2011 4:24 PM

Did... did Mrs. Julien go insane while I wasn't paying attention? Or... did I go insane?

Anyway, as far as the redheads go, I've always thought Kate Mara's hair was quite nice.

Posted by: The Other Agent Johnson at February 22, 2011 4:27 PM

Ooh yes. Love LeBlanc with the gray hair.

Posted by: Julie at February 22, 2011 4:28 PM

*Swoon* Adam Scott and his luscious locks. Love that boy and his hair.

Posted by: Lemon Poundcake at February 22, 2011 4:29 PM

I may have made...an untoward...squeaky noise when I saw the Adam Scott photo. That man has an incredible head of hair. Good lord. Ooh that is a pretty photo of the hedgehog.

I can't believe you mentioned Mrs Coach but left out Coach and his incredibly expressive hair.

You know who also has great hair? HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMM. Also Blake Lively and Anne Hathaway. And Eric Bana-- I love men with curly hair.

Posted by: figgy at February 22, 2011 4:36 PM

*whispering*

Mrs. Julien is resting comfortably. It was a bit challenging for the orderlies as you can imagine, but the thorazine is making its way through her system. There is some mumbling about toques, but overall she seems more relaxed. We are hoping that that as long as she remains "calm" and "strategically-limited" in her movements, she should be ready to rejoin you all by morning. Thank you for respecting her privacy during this difficult time.

Posted by: Mrs. Kowalski at February 22, 2011 4:37 PM

I covet Esperanza's hair, her and Janelle Monae. And I would run my fingers through Adam Scott's hair for hours. I'd also add Andrew Garfield and Naveen Andrews. Let us never forget Sayid's luscious manlocks.

Posted by: jM at February 22, 2011 4:41 PM

Yes, Andrew Garfield! That coiffure is nuts.

Posted by: samantha t at February 22, 2011 4:46 PM

Take good care of our Mrs. J., won't you, Mrs. K.?

Posted by: Rykker at February 22, 2011 4:47 PM

I look at Adam Scott and hate him for having the money to consistently go to a stylist who can handle thick hair. Most stylists say "fuck it" and shave it all off no matter what you tell them. I should know. I get the "wow, you have a lot of thick hair" comment before 90% of stylists whip out the clippers and buzz it to nothing. The remaining 10% visibly get nervous when after thirty minutes of cutting it looks like nothing has changed. On the plus side, I save a lot on haircuts since it takes three months to grow it back out to the length I want.

What was I saying? Oh, yeah. Great hair on Adam Scott. Wish I could find a stylist willing to consistently execute a similar look (without breaking into tears and missing my future appointments) for my over-sized noggin.

Posted by: Robert at February 22, 2011 4:48 PM

Oh, my LiLo.

Before she fried her hair with endless colour changes, it was so beautiful that I had dreams about it while I was trying to grow mine out. I mean I know she's had extensions since Jesus was a baby, but even so. Gorgeous, gorgeous hair for a while there.

Posted by: Melodie at February 22, 2011 4:55 PM

TJ Thyne.
Amazing head of hair and one of the best looking people on TV.

http://images1.fanpop.com/images/photos/2500000/TJ-Thyne-dr-jack-hodgins-2544121-768-516.jpg

I'll run my fingers through those curls any day TJ. Any day.

Posted by: DominaNefret at February 22, 2011 4:55 PM

This list is invalidated by the absence of Mary McDonnell. That woman has some seriously impressive hair.

Posted by: Gabs at February 22, 2011 4:56 PM

I'm not sure if this necessarily counts as "in the business," but I've been longing for hair the same color as Shaun White's for years. I am so desperately jealous of that particular shade of red. Imagine how it would look if he actually DID something to it?

Posted by: Siege at February 22, 2011 5:02 PM

Benedict Cumberbatch....
He's got some adorable ginger locks that I would like to run my fingers though.

Posted by: Jules at February 22, 2011 5:23 PM

Eoin Macken and his ridiculously luscious locks as Gwaine in BBC's Merlin.

Go on, try and stop thinking about tangling your fingers in it. I'll wait.

Posted by: Gayle at February 22, 2011 5:24 PM

Siege - Shaun White's hair is a beautiful color. A true, true carrot-red.

Posted by: samantha t at February 22, 2011 5:34 PM

Also on Friday Night Lights - Julie. Her hair looks lovely when she rocks the waves. And as someone who's partial to bangs, hers are perfect for her face.

I just watched The Social Network today, and I totally agree with those who said Andrew Garfield.

Posted by: MelBivDevoe at February 22, 2011 5:45 PM

Fine, I'll out myself too. I covet Aria's hair on Pretty Little Liars, but I would settle for Emily's.

Posted by: Mel C. at February 22, 2011 5:50 PM

I have to 2nd the comment about Mary McDonnell's hair. I want to partake in the unicorn blood she's drinking because her hair is fabulous.

Posted by: Crankle at February 22, 2011 6:10 PM

Ooh, covert Pretty Little Liars watchers! I want Hanna's hair. Emily's is almost unbelievably shiny.

Posted by: TWoP Fan at February 22, 2011 6:13 PM

jM we're soul-twins. Garfield and Naveen Andrews have magnificent hair. Mmm.

Posted by: figgy at February 22, 2011 6:19 PM

You don't know thick male hair until you meet my friend Kenny. He jumped in our pool one time when we were kids and his hair close to his scalp was still dry, it was so freakin' think.

Posted by: Todd at February 22, 2011 6:23 PM

So many women with so much beautiful hair, and yet I'm fairly unimpressed with the entries on this list.

I did, however, want to give a second to DominaNefret, though. T.J. Thyne has some lovely man-hair. I looooove curly hair.

Posted by: MM at February 22, 2011 6:31 PM

Shaun White's curls are so SHINEY. It's probably super healthy because he doesn't do anything to it.

Posted by: Lauren at February 22, 2011 7:32 PM

Not that I like the following people at all; I do have to give them props for good hair:
Shannen Doherty, Gwynneth Paltrow, Portia Rossi.
People I do like with good hair:
Sandra Oh, Alison Brie, Conan O'Brien, Troy Polamalu.

Posted by: Gabrielle at February 22, 2011 7:55 PM

you know who has really great hair for a guy? me!

Posted by: splinter at February 22, 2011 8:45 PM

Love Esperanza Spalding's hair. I was happy to see some non-conventional hair up in here! Also - Adam Scott and Andrew Garfield have crazy hair. I, too, have a LOT of hair, so word to all my thick-haired homies! I mean, I need a bigger bike helmet just to accommodate all my hair. Small head, big hair. Not complainin', though.

Posted by: jzhz at February 22, 2011 9:30 PM

@Jules
Yes! Benedict Cumberbatch's hair is amazing! Although, I prefer his hair when he's Sherlock. I don't like it when it's blonde or dyed and cut short.

Also, if you're associated by your hair, you should be on this list, like Robert Pattinson. I don't like him as an actor, but, god, he does has some glorious hair. Furthermore, Gillian Jacobs has some beautiful golden locks and, although she's old Hollywood, I really love Audrey Hepburn's hair in any movie (except for Robin and Marion).

Posted by: Ellie at February 22, 2011 9:54 PM

Robert Downey, Jr. has really awesome hair. It must've been part of the package deal he made with the devil to look as good as he does after having lived the life that he has. It's ridiculous.

Posted by: Samantha at February 22, 2011 9:54 PM

Also, I am astounded than noone has yet mentioned Damien Lewis in this fantastic hair thread. Astounded.

Posted by: DominaNefret at February 22, 2011 11:16 PM

One more follicularly blessed FNL alum: pretty pretty Minka Kelly, currently on Parenthood.

Posted by: Chucklehouse at February 23, 2011 12:31 AM

this is list is totally incomplete if Stana Katic (det Kate Beckett on Castle) isn't there. Look at her, she has by far the best 'do in the business:

yeeeah you're glad you clicked that link huh?

Posted by: lauwer at February 23, 2011 7:29 AM

Mila Kunis.

Nuff said

Posted by: jan at February 23, 2011 9:01 AM

Agreed on Robert Downey Jr.

Posted by: elizabeth at February 23, 2011 9:25 AM

I think Stana Katic's hair in that photo is made up of extentions. Her haircut always looks like she's growning a short cut out, and has for years.

Also, no list is complete without Emmy Lou Harris (rocking the grey hair) and Crystal Gayle (ankle length locks).

Matt Smith - - crazy Raggedy Doctor hair!!

Posted by: Tarn at February 23, 2011 12:07 PM

Mary McDonnell has a bomb-ass head of hair. Long, thick, goddess hair and it's a sin to leave her off any GREAT hair list.

Posted by: Emory at February 23, 2011 1:28 PM

Debra Messing inspires envy within me though I'm a redhead myself.
