Katherine Heigl

You're looking at our favorite incarnation of Katherine Heigl: Longer hair, mid-tone blonde, shiny, sleek, and bouncy. It flatters her face shape and her skin tone better than some of her other choices -- and oh, there have been choices. For various reasons, be it a role or an inability to leave her hair alone, Heigl has worn a lot of different head-suits: bleach-blonde, brown, reddish, and a platinum choppy short cut that she debuted recently and which, to our eyes, does her zero favors. But who knows, maybe you'll disagree and think her new 'do is the bomb, so come tour through a A Brief Recent History of Heigl and then pick your favorite of her looks. Hey, you never know -- maybe, like, her cousin's boyfriend's roommate reads this site and can put in a good word.
