DENTON, Texas, Jan. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The 17th annual Sally Beauty Best Tressed® Survey, commissioned by Sally Beauty Supply, takes a look back at 2010's best and worst celebrity hairstyles by asking American women to cast a vote on the good, the bad and the ugly. A new addition to the survey asked participants to weigh in on their own styling habits, which yielded staggering results.

Lady Gaga's over-the-top hair styles were voted least favorite for the second year in a row. This year's survey found that women love the luscious locks of songstress and American Idol judge, Jennifer Lopez.  Tom Selleck rose to the top of the pack in the men's category, while David Hasselhoff's retro 'do was rated as the worst. Halle Berry's hot-mom hairstyle was overwhelmingly voted the best of the nominees in the pixie cut category.

The Top 3 in Each Category

The survey participants also divulged their own personal do's and don'ts of hair care.  Some interesting outcomes include:

• 26 percent of women chose "shiny" as the one thing they want their hair to always be. "Smooth" and "curly" tied for second, with each receiving 24 percent of the vote.
• Almost 60 percent of women turn to their hairstylist for special day style recommendations. 29 percent choose their style based on trends and 11 percent look at celebrity photos.
• 42 percent of women do not look at reviews prior to purchasing a new styling tool.
• 32 percent of women say $20 is the most they would spend on a beauty product, while 20 percent say $10 is their limit.
• 75 percent believe the right products and style can take 5-10 years off their look.
• 60 percent of women say price has the biggest influence over what product they buy. 27 percent purchase products based on hairstylist recommendations.

The Sally Beauty Supply Best Tressed® Survey polled results from 1,000 women and was conducted by MarketTools, Inc. The survey ran from December 13, 2010 to December 16, 2010.
