![]() About 50 percent of women have this problem, I'm told. Kate Kelly: morning news anchor, KPIX (Channel 5) "I lost a lot of hair after I had my children. I always hope that people are paying more attention to what I say than how I look, but you still get those calls: 'Where did you get that pin?' It's not always about the hair, but there are those nights you just wish you could put a bag over your head, cut two holes in it and say, 'Good evening.' I'm not planning to make any changes with my hairstyle right now. They didn't say, 'change it back,' but I'm smart enough not to push the envelope and I went back to blond."Įlaine Corral: evening news anchor, KTVU (Channel 2) "Right now, I'm in a quiet time with my hair. I thought it looked good, but the bosses told our image consultant that when they hired me, I was a blond. ![]() I once went red for a little while just to be different when all the anchors are blonde with the same hairstyle, people tend to confuse us. It's hilarious."Ĭheryl Jennings: afternoon news anchor, KGO (Channel 7) "I cut it all off this summer. I don't have much on the top, but the hair on the sides is prodigious - the monk look - my haircutter takes thinning shears to the back and the sides. I used to hear from people who said, 'Why are you dying your hair?' But I just went gray later than most folks. ![]() On the other hand, when I had a lot of hair, it seemed to me that it didn't take as long to cut it. But my feeling is that as soon as you start combing your hair forward, you need to get out of the business."ĭave McElhatton: evening news anchor KPIX (Channel 5) "My hair is very low maintenance. At least I still have some hair I'm ahead of (Dave) McElhatton in that department. Management said, 'The sides look white, the top looks red and the back looks blond.' So now it's charcoal. We recently went to a new set with reddish-brown furniture and when they did that my hair started to appear red. But one thing that did change recently is that I have a charcoal rinse put in my hair. Clearly in this business, men have to think about this a lot less than women do. Pete Wilson: evening news anchor, KRON (Channel 4) "I get letters all the time: 'You should have a hair transplant.' I don't pay that much attention to it myself. When I got my first job in TV in Salinas, it was suggested that I go to a 'stylist.' But the guy who suggested that wore a huge diamond pinky ring and dated showgirls, so I didn't take him very seriously." If I had my druthers, I'd wear it long, in braids or a bun. We should look well- coiffed and well-dressed, but not distracting. Suzanne Shaw: afternoon news anchor, KRON (Channel 4) "My hair became an issue when I became an anchor, and it's a far more important issue than it should be. The guy who does my hair is a no-frills person and so am I." ![]() Black people's hair is much drier than other kinds of hair, so I go to the salon twice a week to get it washed and styled. My hair is really curly and not very manageable. On weekends, I put it in a ponytail and wear a hat. Pam Moore: evening news anchor, KRON (Channel 4) "I try to keep my hair really simple that's not an area where I have much talent. But I get letters about it, people asking me, 'How do you do that?' " I look exactly like my dad and he has a widow's peak my daughter has one too. And when you have little kids - mine are 2 and 4 - you go for what's easy. Long hair allows me to be more versatile. I like it up, or pulled back in a braid or a bun. My agent seems to prefer that I wear it down, but I don't agree. Lisa Argen: morning weather anchor, KRON (Channel 4) "I've always had long hair. It's still part of the reason I wear it up." When I first started in the business, I was young and blond and I really wanted to play against the stereotype. It takes me about two minutes to put it in a bun or a twist. Leslie Griffith: weekend news anchor, KTVU (Channel 2) "Anchors get so many letters about their hair, but my hair is always the same.
