Topping the poll for the nation's favourite hairstyle of 2006

Victoria Beckham's Pob has come out tops in a 2006 best hairstyle poll by Yahoo! Messenger. The poll revealed her sleek, new take on the 'bob' is the nation's favourite 'do' of the year with one third of the votes.

Despite ditching the blonde for a sultry brunette look, Chantelle Haughton, the reality TV star scored just 4% of the votes. Big Brother's Big Mouth host Russell Brand has topped the poll for the guys - his 'do' is clearly a hit, beating The Mighty Boosh's Noel Fielding and BB7's Pete Bennett.

This is the second annual 'Hairstyle of the Year' poll from Yahoo! which last year saw Sharon Osbourne coming out cream of the crops. But it's not such good news for Sienna Miller as she fails to win over the public vote with her hairstyle; both years' poll sees her winning 7% of the votes - equalling Cheryl Cole and BB Pete's votes in this recent poll.

Isabelle Wies, Yahoo! Messenger Senior Product Manager says, 'While some of us take style inspiration from celebrities, it may not always suit us. We would recommend testing celebrity hairstyles and fashion trends on your customised Avatar, within Yahoo! Messenger first, it's a great way to try before you chop! You can easily personalise the way you look by changing hairstyles or fashions at the click of a button.'
