Katharine McPhee (and her still-blonde hair and shorter ‘do) headed out to last night’s VH1 Save the Music Big Shopping Holiday Event in NYC.
Katharine recently told People it’s definitely more fun to be blonde, but it’s also more work. To maintain her platinum locks, Katharine has to visit her colorist, “every three-and-a-half, four weeks. Right now I’m almost at the too dark roots stage,” she says. “So I get to play around with hats.” Her short cut is also relatively new. “Peter Savitt cuts my hair. This is the same haircut I had during Fashion Week, but it’s just been growing out and I’ve been flattening it.”
Find out what I think about Katharine’s hair (and outfit) after the break.
You can totally tell that this is a grown out cut and that Katharine is flat ironing it. It looks flat ironed. It’s too stick-straight and appears straw like. The shape would look better if it had some volume, movement and texture in it. Maybe she could air dry it a bit or dry it with a volumizing product. It’s. just. so. flat. Also, she should just go in to see her stylist and have him shape it up a bit for her. Also, her hair looks sort of unhealthy, which could be from the frequent coloring and the heat processing. She needs a good deep conditioner. (By the way, should we set an extension clock on Katharine? As soon as she thinks she’s gotten all the press that she can get out of this short hair/platinum story, she’s totally putting in extensions!)
A lace patterned skirt and lace patterned tights? Um, no. Also, the exact shade of red tights and red boots? I think I would have opted for something in a similar but different shade…
Dying to know what you guys think of her hair & outfit. Comment!
P.S. Husband Nick Cokas bought her one hugeass diamond ring. Check out picture #2.
This is surely a very depressing hair disaster. Seriously. I like nothing about this hair.
I think she looks awful, particularly hair and makeup! I think both are unflattering on her. The outfit is kind of lame for me. Tucked in shirts tend to make me a little annoyed. and no to the matching boots and tights.
Totally agree w/ you on the hair. She has to be regretting that color choice. I love to change up my hair, but I used to do it too much and I can look back on several of my colors and cringe. The cut I like, as I think between ear-length & shoulder-length is more interesting. But she needs to condition the hell out of it if she’s going to color AND flat iron. And it would definitely look better with some volume.
Wow, I guess I had quite a bit to say about that one. ;-)
Chris, I am not thrilled with some of my colors, and love others. But it’s fun to change and experiment and must be weird doing that a.) strictly for the sake of publicity or b.) just for yourself but with the media watching every move you make… I think her cut would be cute too, but it needs a little help right now!
Jumbly: While the matching boots & tights thing is a big trend, and I think it’s really cute when you’re talking about brown or black… it just looks seriously off with the blood red, you know?
Hairmare: it’s kinda hair disaster territory, agrees. In case we all want to look back on WHAT ONCE WAS:

(I know there are extensions in there, but still!)
Being from the UK, I have no idea who this woman is, however…omg, her hair, albeit with extensions, was a lifetime better before. I am currently in the recovery stages from going blonde and flat ironing, and it is so regrettable. Never again.
Hairmare, I’d say there are plenty of people from the states that don’t know who she is either. ;)
