Best hair on soaps

  • Member

In response to the wig thread, who do you think has consistently had great hair on daytime?

 

AMC- Erica Kane.  I think Lucci did a great job changing styles, but still seeming like Erica each time.  And the gradual lightening as she aged (although the woman looks fantastic still) was smartly done.

 

GH- Tracy Quartermaine. Jane Elliot has rocked short hair, updos, longer hair, many shades of red, brown, even almost blonde for a bit.  I love her with short hair, but her early 1990’s longer hair was also very flattering.  Her Deidre Hall performed dye jobs have looked pretty good in the last decade too.

 

DAYS-  Hope Brady.  She has a classic style and length for years that suits her, and has flattering dye jobs.  When she came back as Gina in the early 1990’s, I thought she and her hair were at their absolute best.

 

Y&R- Victoria Rowell had great hair as Drucilla.  Longer to short, it suited her character through the years.

 

GL- Alexandra as played by Beverlee.  I especially love her longer hair towards the end of her tenure to the short blunt bob of her last year.  It looked like money.

 

Funny I can’t think of a single guy that I think has a hairstyle worth noting.  Mac maybe on GH?  Seems like it’s still his and the grey is flattering.

Jess Walton by a mile. The woman is known for that epic hair toss in the early 2000s porn opening to Y&R even by people who’ve never watched it.

In an era of big, big hair Colleen Zenk stood out with her chic short cut - alook she pretty much kept for decades.

Did she ever wear it longer after her initial arrival to the show in 1978?

 

I wonder if they kept her bobbed for so long initially to match Kathryn Hays’s similarly short cut. I personally prefer Kim’s big 70s hair, but her bob is iconic. Even when she went grey, she found a signature look. I’d even say it was a better look.

Maeve Kinkead’s bob as Vanessa was also great. The grey was a bit much, but I suppose it was freeing for her, especially if the show wasn’t using her much.

Speaking of Kim, I was so horrified when I saw the hair she had in the early/mid-80s (the blonde...whatever that Ellen Burstyn wore in Same Time Next Year). If I had been a viewer back then I would have needed therapy.

Oh yes, just not right for her face at all! And then somehow it was revived during one of the show’s final years and looked just as bad.

 

This will always be her best hairstyle, IMO

I don't recall it ever being more than shoulder length

I think Maura West has great hair. Some questionable hair styles (and there were times it looked like her kids cut her bangs), and at times has been abused by the stylists....but great hair.

 

As much as I loathed B&B's Taylor, Hunter Tylo had a great mane back in the nineties, along with KKL.

Haven't seen anyone top Laura Wright's hair.  She is a walking commercial.  

But Kathryn Hayes (Kim Hughes) had beautiful hair and so did Nancy Addison (Jillian, Ryan's Hope).

Nancy had beautiful hair - I don't think I ever saw her have a bad hair day in all her soap career. 

 

I'd also say Sarah Felder, although hers looked a bit ratty at times. 

 

Randall Edwards too.

Any actress on DAYS in the 80s and early 90s had great hair.  Wish they'd rehire whoever did their hair back in those days.

To jump off of that, I loved Staci Greason's/Isabella's hair.

I think Victoria Konefal the new Ciara on Days has the most beautiful hair.  Ditto for Hunter tylo and Vanessa Marcil in her hair commercial late 90's days...LW has really nice hair and is one of the few on GH who has it styled well except for the noticeable roots sometimes.  I also loved Megan Ward's Kate and her perfect bob.

Victoria Principal had beautiful hair when Dallas started in 1978. She got a perm in 1979 and it got worse as the series progressed. She went from looking like Jaclyn Smith to looking like Rick James. She was the spokes person for Jhirmack hair care, so I wonder if they were behind some of those awful hairstyles and dye jobs ? Charlene Tilton had great hair too. She and Cheryl Ladd had similar styles. 

 

Kin Shriner had a great late 70's and early 80's mop of hair. As he got older he started to bald. 

 

Genie Francis had great hair.
