Emma Watson, Bieber boast 2011's 'Most Influential' hairAccording to the Wall Street Journal, two young stars have the hottest haircuts of the year: actress Emma Watson and singer Justin Bieber. The paper has dubbed their hairstyles the "Most Influential" of 2011. “Hairstylists are being inundated with requests for pixie cuts and the Bieber swish,” the WSJ notes.
