Hair's the Scoop

I'm all for hair extensions, but — whether smooth and styled or bleached-out — there's a limit to length. After a certain point, the look as a whole begins to feel theatrical. Don't you agree?

Both Lindsay Lohan and Taylor Momsen rocked tousled blonde tresses to Tuesday's Whitney Museum Gala, with Taylor choosing to create contrast with a bold smoky eye and Lindsay opting for a more tonal look.

"I had long, pretty hair, and it didn't fit me. I'm pretty, but I'm not, like, a 'pretty girl.' So I pulled up a bunch of photos of Joan Jett and said, 'Do that to my hair'... I know people were a little, um, taken aback. But it wasn't me that changed— it was just that I decided to start being myself."

Is Taylor's rocker shag chic, or too mature for her 16 years?

To help us rid of frizz, I've asked Ryan Cotton of Serge Normant at John Frieda Salon— stylist to the likes of Taylor Momsen and Kristen Wiig— to share his top tips:

All Hair Types: Load Up
For everyday de-frizzing, load your hair with serum in the shower while it's super wet (right after you've conditioned).

Coarse Hair: Get Gel'n
For super thick, rebellious hair, a serum combined with a gel is a great idea as the gel provides control, and the serum softens the gel so the finish isn't as stiff. Try mixing John Frieda Thermal Serum with their Luxurious Volume Gel-Crème.

Curly Hair: Don't Blow
Blow drying in the summer heat is not the answer for thick curly hair: it must air dry or be washed in the evening before bed, and dried overnight with product. Twin buns on either side of the head, and using a comb in the shower to work product through, can also be quite helpful as the product needs to get everywhere to be effective.

Do you have any frizz-fighting tips of your own? Do share!

Seen here filming in midtown Manhattan earlier today, Taylor Momsen's "Gossip Girl" character appears to be starting season three with a new, softer style.

What do you think of "Jenny's" longer look?

Pictured here at The CW "UpFront" conference in NYC, the leading ladies of "Gossip Girls" each rocked a very different 'do for the event.

I'm partial to Leighton Meester's newly lightened locks, but Jessica Szohr's long, loose waves are also a favorite. Taylor Momsen and Blake Lively look great as well, but it just seems like they walked off set. There's nothing terribly exciting about either hairstyle. (In my opinion, anyway!)

Whose look do you like most?
