Tales
of three ladies' tresses
Who says blondes have more fun? Dark, mysterious and sexy, the trio from the
WB's Charmed has cast a spell over television viewers everywhere. Can three
20-something sisters, living together in a big old house really get along? What
if they're witches?
Charmed portrays the conflicts of these very different sisters as they join
together against the otherworldly backdrop of an ancient witchcraft prophecy.
Even though they are "good witches," their powers must be kept secret,
especially from homicide inspector Andy Trudeau, who just happens to be one of
the sisters' ex-boyfriends.
As different as night and day, the Halliwell sisters are bound together by blood
-- and that's it. Shannen Doherty, best known for her role as Brenda Walsh on
Beverly Hills 90210, plays Prue, the driven-to-succeed oldest sister. Prue can't
stand the antics of her youngest sister, the free-spirited, fun Phoebe, played
by Alyssa Milano of Who's the Boss? fame. Piper, played by Holly Marie Combs
(Picket Fences) is stuck in the middle -- and as the middle child, she often
referees arguments between the other two. Good thing she's the creative,
down-to-earth type and has a sense of humor.
Shannen sexy, sultry and confident, she exudes an aura of mystery and looks
svelte in a little spaghetti-strapped black dress. Still a striking brunette,
her hair is much shorter and cut into a versatile angled bob. Fringed bangs
bring out her deep eyes. Straight as can be, Shannen's cut can be brushed under
for fullness, or tucked behind one ear for ever more allure.
In case you haven't noticed, Alyssa Milano is all grown up. Having recently
starred on Melrose Place, she, too, has changed her look with a short cut. A
little shorter than Shannen's, her bob reaches mid-cheek and has more playful
waves. Remember, she's the free spirit. To keep her style casual, the front can
be held back with a cute clip or comb, and the ends flipped up for fun.
Holly Marie's long, straight hair really shines. Worn tucked behind her ears,
with wispy bangs, Holly Marie's hair defines those high cheekbones. For an
updated look, all the needs to do is curl the ends with a curling iron --
instantly flirty flip!
Witches or not, these three women are certainly bewitching with their charming,
varied styles.
