best hair survey

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. - Polished fashionistas like Jennifer Aniston — who plays a Ralph Lauren staffer on “Friends” — and the makeover crew on “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” were singled out for having top tresses in a recent celebrity hair survey.

To determine the year’s best and worst in hair, Wella conducted unscientific surveys after the MTV Video Music Awards, the Emmys and the American Music Awards.

Aniston won best overall hair and best highlights, while other TV stars won some other categories: “Miss Match” star Alicia Silverstone’s golden locks earned top honors, Jennifer Garner of “Alias” was named best brilliant brunette and “Will & Grace’s” Debra Messing was called the most ravishing redhead.

The only pop star to rate a “best” rating was Britney Spears, who was named best blond bombshell along with Pamela Anderson. Christina Aguilera and Pink made Wella’s list, but in a “worst” category. Aguilera’s “Dirrty” black mane and Pink’s streaks were named worst female hair color.

Rounding out the “worst” category was red carpet interviewer and E! host Melissa Rivers, who was singled out for the worst red carpet hair.

When it came to the men, the Wella results were mixed. Besides the “Queer Eye” cast, “best” hair honors went to stringy-haired rocker Kid Rock and actor Rob Lowe.

For worst male hair, respondents singled out Justin Timberlake as the star they’d like to see with longer hair and Tim McGraw and Adam Sandler as the celebrities who should stop hiding their hair under hats.
