Most Hollywood starlets are surrounded by an entourage who gush over them 24/7 but sometimes all they really want to know is the hard truth: Does my hair look better up or down? We're here to tell them. Click through the gallery to see if you agree with our brutally honest advice.
Jennifer AnistonShe made "The Rachel" famous the world over and each time Aniston emerges from the hair salon it becomes headline news. The power of her tresses isn't lost on the actress, who refuses to step out without a perfect blowout. On those rare occasions when she dares to wear it up, we're sorry, but we're just not feelin' it.
Jessica AlbaLike many busy moms, the actress has been wearing her hair up more and more over the past few years, not only on the playground but on red carpets too. While she certainly has the features to pull off the look, we'd like to see more of her long-lost hair.
Jennifer LopezWhen you're as gorgeous as Jennifer Lopez, you don't really need anyone's beauty advice, but we're dishing it out anyway. While she certainly makes a striking impression with both looks, you just can't ignore the elegance when she wears her hair off her face.
Jessica SimpsonThe blond beauty is one of the few Hollywood stars who looks better au natural, and that includes those lazy days when only a pony tail will do. On the other hand, it does seem a bit of a waste not to show off those luscious locks of hers, which are the envy of women everywhere. Decisions! Decisions!
Nicole KidmanThe Aussie actress - and her unforgettable hair - made quite the impression on North Americans after she appeared opposite Tom Cruise in "Far and Away." Her long, curly red hair is arguably the star's best feature, which is why there's no question which style we prefer.
Charlize Theron
The actress could go bald and she'd still be a beauty, but if she were to come to us for advice on which looks best, we'd take a moment to revive ourselves and then promptly tell her to lose the updo.
Taylor SwiftWe love the country cutie's trademark ringlets, even though she's probably spent hours cursing them as people born with curly hair tend to do. While we know Swift needs a break from them every now and then, we say bring 'em on!
Olivia WildeLuckily, the in-demand actress looks pretty flippin' hot with her hair up because there's no time for bonding with your blow dryer when you have this many movies on the go. Plus, we're not feeling the bang situation and her hair may even drag her face down a little.
Katy PerryWhen it comes to the songstress' beautiful black hair (which may also be pink or blue depending on the hour), we're hot when it's down and cold when it's up. Sure, she's pretty lovely either way, but there's a softer look about Mrs. Russell Brand when it's down.
Kim KardashianThe reality TV starlet has many famous features, but for the purposes of this exercise we'll be sticking to her face, which can be best appreciated with her hair pulled back. No doubt Kardashian feels the same way because she wore it up for her wedding.
