I got the new TV Guide today and in the watercooler section they talk about Beckett's hair. Here's what it says:

Is it just me? Or is Castle's Det. Kate Beckett rocking a mullet?

During season 1, Beckett had short "lady cop" hair that was as no-nonsense as her personality. But now, we could swear that we've detected some business-in-the-front/party-in-the-back action. According to creator Andrew Marlowe, "The producers have been working closely with our hairstylist, Toni Ann Walker, and Stana herself to create an interesting look that is functional as well as stylish." Fair enough, but to find out if it qualifies as the "M" word, we consulted 'do guru Tabatha Coffey from Bravo's Salon Takeover. "It's got that mullet-esque feel," confirms Coffey, "but it's a lot more blended than a real mullet…. It's sexy without being in-your-face sexy–it's still professional. And it really shows off her amazing bone structure." So are women going to start clamoring for foxy "femullets"? Says Coffey with a laugh, "If that happens, you'll be my first phone call."

See! We're not crazy to be talking about her hair all the time! Even TV Guide is doing it!

Also, I adore Stana's hair! If I looked half as pretty as her I would totally get the same cut!

Oh oh oh, I must be so "up to date" – been having hairdo like this guy for years now. Perhaps I should keep it a little longer. ;)

I thought her hair was especially gorgeous in 2.1. I actually just finished re-watching that on my iPod literally 30 seconds ago and was thinking that.

That's kind of awesome that her hair made it into TV guide! It's not just all of us noticing on the forums. 

"femullets" All I can do is laugh, great word! 

^^ Yeah, Dima Bilan. Of course, it's up to one's personal taste. :)

I hadn't read the original post in this thread until now, but it just gave me about 5 minutes of belly laughter…the "femullet" business! Anyway, just to put in my 2 cents, I liked Beckett's hair in season 1, but not when it was too short or spiky (like when she came to his Castle's bookreading in the pink dress).

When season 2 started, I was a little thrown by the longer hair, but thought it gave her a little more feminine air and grew to like it…although not as much when it was pulled behind her ears dramatically. No matter what, Stana is gorgeous, and always looks great.

My favorite hairstyle of Beckett's is the one she's been sporting the last few episodes…straighter and sleeker and more one length.

I liked her hair in season one, I liked it last fall too, I thought it was sexy and interesting. The current one? Boring. It's too run of the mill will work with any lifestyle. But if it keeps the complainers at bay, who am I to complain? ;)

But I loved her hair up. Every time it's been up she looks great!

I actually liked her hair in episode 1 when it was short, then, in my opinion, it got worse as the season progressed. I didn't think the dark curly hair fit her at all – it made her look too girly for a tough, female cop and too pale. I like season 2's hair much better – especially the sleeker look in Suicide Squeeze. Guess I just march to a different drummer's beat.

Haha! Had to laugh when I read that. I have to admit, earlier in the season when she still had it, my brothers and I were like, "What the heck's up with that mullet?" Not so becoming if you ask me. But hey, what do I know? It's a lot better now I think even though the straight isn't my favorite. Personally, my most favoritist Beckett hair was the last two episodes of the first season. So hot. Although, this last episode, 2x20 I thought it looked pretty good as well. Her bangs were kickin'! Hopefully it keeps getting better and not worse.

I still say anyone who thinks that was a mullet didn't live through or wasn't old enough in the 80s to know what a mullet is

Oh yes, too true! I'm certainly post 80's, but living in Texas and still witnessing them here and there I know it wasn't a true mullet, simply reminiscent of one.
