I will be the first to admit that I talk on the phone while I’m driving. I will also say that I absolutely hate bluetooth headsets. I hate them. I hate everything about them. I hate the way they make people who are having a conversation look like they’re escaped mental patients from the ward and they way you have to hook them up to your ear, like you’re talking to your commander who is going to beam you up to Star Trek. Bluetooth headsets were meant for uptight business men who are making important deals while parked on the 405 in the morning, not for this 20-something writer and editor who has no plans of looking like a Cyborg anytime soon. This is why I finally broke down and got the Jaw Bone, the best looking bluetooth headset, and that’s saying a lot.

Citysearch has posted an enticing list of “Hot Headset Hairstyles” with tips on how to minimize headsets from about five of L.A.’s popular salons. Sonya Dove, from The Doves salon in Santa Monica offers this advice:

“You’re going to want a style that can tuck around the ear or that is cut softly around the ear using the razor, so the earpiece doesn’t stick out like a big old hunk of metal. We’re suggesting clients have shorter hair toward the face, but with a soft, piecey look. If you have a harsh straight line, the attention will be on the headpiece, not your hairstyle. Go for strong fringe with an asymmetrical cut–it’s fun, funky and ever so stylish.”

Believe you me, if you must get a headset and you’re a girl, you will definitely want to read up on how to conceal your ear gadget. Sorry guys, you’ll just have to look ridiculous.
