Hayden's Bangs -- Love 'Em or Hate 'Em?

Breaking beauty news: Hayden Panettiere has bangs! Check out the before and after shots of her and weigh in -- do you love her new look or was the change a bad move?

Most of the time, my love of bangs knows no bounds -- everything from these side-swept beauties to full-on fringe like these celebs is a "do" in my book. But on Hayden, I'm indecisive. I think they're cute, but I also think they make her look a bit old (the makeup could have something to do with it too, maybe she should check out these tips to keep her makeup from aging her).

What's your verdict, should she keep the bangs or pin them back (like in this video) until they grow out?

Is the “Blake” the new “Rachel”? “Gossip Girl” star has most coveted hairstyle

It seems like every generation has an "It" hairstyle that women run to their stylists trying to achieve. In the '70s it was Farrah Fawcett's feathered disco look. In the '90s, Jennifer Aniston popularized the "Rachel," a bouncy shag worn by the character she played on…

Would You Take Beauty Advice from Someone Who Wasn't Beautiful?

Earlier today, we were pondering a profound (at least, I like to think it was) question: How important is it to practice what you preach? By this, I mean, do you care if the person giving you hair advice is bald? Or the makeup tips you're getting are coming from someone who, frankly, looks a bit disheveled?

I think it, obviously, depends on the situation. I know plenty of bald hairdressers whom I would still listen to because they spend their lives styling other people's hair. On the other hand, there are quite a few YouTube videos out there where women are giving decent advice (check out our faves here), but often they look like they just rolled out of bed or worse.

What do you think? Will you listen to a potentially good makeup tip no matter what state the person giving it is in? Or do you find beauty advice from un-put-together people a bit sketchy?

Whether you're a salon snob or a die-hard bargain hunter, you'll love this list of the top drugstore hairstyling products. It shouldn't be too surprising that you can get hair like this from your local CVS or Walgreens -- we already proved that cheapie shampoos and conditioners can work just as well as their high-end counterparts.

Check out the list below (just click on the names to see why TotalBeauty.com readers loved 'em), practically everything you need to create any hairstyle is there. However, just because you can create any hairstyle, doesn't mean you should. Some -- like, well, these -- are best left alone, OK?

THE Hair Cut for Fall: The Lob?!

nospam@example.com ()

No, it's not a fancy softball pitch; "the lob" is actually a term for a long bob (a.k.a., a shoulder-length bob, or what happens when you try last season's trendy bob and let it grow out for a couple months).

According to Pantene celebrity hairstylist Hallie Bowman, the lob is the hair cut for fall. And if you were one of the many, many people to try out the Posh-bob (or Pob, the fun names never stop people!) then you probably already have it.

Didn't succumb to the last uber-trendy cut? Well, you might want to cave in for the lob. Bowman says it's flattering on just about everyone and it's so versatile -- you can wear it straight, curly, wavy, flipped out, up, down, pretty much any way you could think of.

Check out these lob-style how-tos below for some guidance. I don't know about you but I think there's a date with the scissors in my future (I was one of the very few who didn't go down the Pob road).
