I don't think long, slinky hair is frumpy at all!
Her hair was layered all through her career, but it was shorter, and feathered. I would say the only one that looked terrible was later 80's when it was upsprayed to oblivion bangs, with long in back - but heck, that's just ug. There were a few other questionable styles.

Too funny!!

Wait, doesn't she wear extensions, at least on stage? I thought I heard someone mention that once. Maybe she should just lose those; that would thin her hair out a lot!

Maybe there's a dog somewhere that will rip those things to shreds. Bring back the dog from the Tusk cover, I say!

I couldn't agree with you more! Can I please join the "We Hate the Frankenboks" club!

Picture a boot with the same heel as the Frankenboks but a slip on leather upper with an inside zipper, I have a pair for chr**ts sake's, I'm sure Stevie could find a pair!!! I'm sorry but the reebok with the stitched padded upper is just soooooooooo out of style, my god, not to mention with a platform heel, it's just wrong!!!! We are talken about the hottest rock & roll chic in her time who was known for her sexy boots!!

Stevie has worn hair-extensions, and I'm pretty sure she's worn "falls" too (which is a partial hairpiece, that's attached to the back part of the crown to add length to your hairstyle)... most especially around the 'Tango' and 'OSOTM' era... but for the past several years, her hair appears to be entirely her own.
She just has a THICK head of hair.

I agree hugely. I think "no bangs" brightens up her face, but I like the bangs too. I just feel that they are always way too thick, especially on the Enchanted Tour. Something more wispy would be much more flattering. They look really good on the back cover of TISL...they are very smooth and frame her face more than they usually do. But I realize there is likely ample more grooming time for an album cover than at shows. So, since she's done the bangs thing for so long already, I say "no bangs" now. I think it would have looked really good if she had pulled the front of her "no bangs hair" back on each side with fancy barrettes. Maybe this would have helped too if the reason she went back to bangs was because the "grow-out phase" was driving her crazy (most of us have been there, no?).

Are bangs the same as a fringe? If so, I like them. She looks amazing anyway, but I prefer her with the fringe, and I also prefer middle partings as opposed to side partings.

Gem...I do think across the pond, bangs are called "fringe". It is the hair that is over STevies forehead. She spent most of 2002/2003 growing the things out and had gotten past the worst of it and then suddenly cut them again. She looks so funny on the DR doc during the band rehearsal of EFO. She is at a bad bang stage and has them feathered ala Farrah Fawcett. They do not look so hot.
As for me, I prefer her with bangs, I think she looks much younger with them. I agree with Dissention..a few long layers, take a few inches of the length and thin out the bangs..she would look just smashing. I love love love her hair on the doc during the GB part. Its got a side part and just looks really great. She should wear it like that everyday.

I don't know if this has been said already or not, but her hair looks a lot healthier and less fried now than it did during TISL. It was really bad then--jagged and strawlike at the ends. I just wanted to say "Stevie, honey, get a trim!"
And yes, she has been wearing her like this for a long time. It's time to do something a little different. Lighter bangs and layers might be just the thing.

Thanks Kelly. Yes, that is what we call a fringe. I totally agree with you - I like her with the fringe/bangs and she should get some layers, if only for a change! I also like it when she wears her hair up, I think just because it's different. The thing when she has that huge flick going on in DR is really funny. What's going on with that?! I have to say, I'm glad she didn't persue that avenue, but it was nice to see something a bit orignial!

I agree that when she has bangs, it looks much better to have the rest of hair parted in the middle. It's much smoother. On the Enchanted Tour, it drove me c-r-a-z-y how it was parted waaaaaaaaay, unnaturally to the side.

She needs to go back to the layered shag but an updated version a la a little thinned out and lots of long layers and long bangs. However, if she's going to keep the all-one-length long, hair she needs bangs, otherwise she'll end up looking like a blonde Morticia Adams!
