Lindsay Lohan finally has a new hairstyle. The star was seen with a new celebrity hairstyle which is different from her older look. She has gone blonde while saying goodbye to her dark black hair.

Lindsay’s new hairstyle comes literally a day after being court ordered to wear an alcohol-monitoring bracelet. She was seen emerging from the Andy LeCompte Salon in Beverly Hills after spending almost 10 hours in the salon. It seems it took too much time to color her raven-colored hair to a much lighter blonde color.

The 23 year old actress stepped out of the West Hollywood salon debuting a slightly shorter ‘do. Her stylist must have used hair shears to snip her hair. The new look makes Lindsay look innocent, vibrant and youthful. It seems she has decided to start afresh and hence has made the transition to a more vibrant look.

Its strange that celebrity hairstyles take so much time. Lindsay Lohan spent over 10 hours in a salon dying her hair back blonde after she probably spent just as many hours to have it dyed dark.

Do you like Lindsay Lohan’s new blonde locks?

Nicole Scherzinger and Derek Hough are the winners of Dancing With the Stars 2010. The celebrity couple emerged victorious yesterday after beating the other two couples.

Dancing With the Stars is a show that pairs up celebrities to dance with professional ballroom dancers in a competition. DWTS 2010 came to an end when Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger and her partner Derek Hough were declared winners.

This week all the pairs had to perform Argentine Tango. The performance of the winners was exceptional as they displayed great dancing skills as well as an amazing chemistry. Nicole had been working hard on her dancing skills and that was evident from her performances every week. Yesterday she looked amazing in a cool hairstyle that may have been achieved with professional hair shears.

Though the competition was tough but Nicole and Derek were favorites to win DWTS 2010. The pair defeated other two pairs of Van Evan Lysacek and his partner Anna Trebunskaya, and Erin Andrews and her partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy who finished third.

Nicole and Derek also won the Mirror Ball trophy with a perfect scoring for their jive during their performance show on Dancing With the Stars 2010.

Kate Gosselin must be very unhappy as she could not win DWTS 2010. She had got a new celebrity hairstyle for this competition but she was eliminated in the early stages of the competition.

Many congratulations to Nicole and Derek for winning the Dancing With the Stars 2010 title.

Rima Fakih is the first Muslim-American Miss USA. She was crowned Miss USA 2010 by Miss USA 2009 Winner Kristen Dalton. Rima will now be representing the country in the upcoming Miss Universe 2010 competition.

Why do you think this girl won the hearts of the judges? Apart from smartly answering to a controversial question, it seems the judges were awed by her hairstyle. It goes without saying that the stylists must have used professional hair shears to give her a stunning look for the competition.

The stylists must have used Shark Shear hairdressing scissors on Rima Fakih. Inspired from the Shark, this hairdressing scissor is razor sharp! Its wider blade design adds strength to the blade and thus allows a sharper angle and a much sharper blade. This arrangement works perfectly for slide cutting and giving that awesome look to the hair.

The unique handle of these shears look stunning and the blades are wider with a sharp blade angle. Due to these unique features, the slide cutting is achieved smoothly, without damaging the hair. Built from premium steel, these shears are very strong, sturdy and have a longer shelf life. This solid durability saves a lot of money from sharpening expenses and the shear keeps performing at its optimum year after year.

This shear is one of the best professional hair shears from ScissorBoy. It not only provides a great haircut but its also light on the hairdresser’s hands. Specially designed to fit your hands, it is great for stylists who want to eliminate repetitive strain injuries.

Many congratulations to Rima Fakih for winning the Miss USA 2010 pageant. Let’s hope she does well at the Miss Universe 2010.
