Everyone wants Blake Lively's hair. The New York Times is saying it's the new Rachel or Farrah. The NYT then spends a whole article discussing the Gossip Girl star's hair and includes all kinds of weird quotes like, "It's aspirational hair. don't just want the hair, they want the life." Or "the look only works for tall, slim women" and "kind of transcends" age. It's a lot of analysis for a hairstyle, and we gotta say, most of the time we see Blake out she's actually rocking the unbrushed, messy look . Even when it's all nice with a fresh blowout, it doesn't look that iconic. Not even close to Rachel status.
Move over Farrah and Rachel--there's a new haircut in town that has Manhattan women sauntering to the salon: The Blake Lively. According to the New York Times' recent survey, Lively's long, blond, messy locks are the most requested by ladies waiting in the chair. Nuri Yurt of Toka Salon on Madison Avenue says the look only works on tall, skinny women, but that doesn't seem to dissuade any cult-cut followers."I didn't really realize the extent of it," Ms. Lively said of her hair's popularity, though she had an inkling: fashion forerunners like Vogue staffers routinely approach her at events and fixate on her hair, she said. "That's always kind of odd, but unbelievably flattering," she said.
