You may see the list of the current nominees by going here

There were a few categories that had so many submissions that they need to be narrowed down to six entries before being presented to the judges. Those categories are: Best Forum, Best Hair Blog, Best V-log for Loose Hair, Best Haircare Products, and Most Influential. These entries will be narrowed down by viewers sending in a vote for their favorite website(s). If one of your favorite sites are in any of those categories, vote for them by going here.

Sites that had to be disqualified:

-Submissions that were put in a category it didn’t fit in.

-Submissions where people put down the name of the website, as opposed to the link of the website.  (I can’t automatically assume the url just by looking at the title, sorry.)

-Submissions of websites that were taken down by the time of review (blank websites, suspended websites, deleted websites, etc).

-Websites that took forever to load due to things like faulty scripts.

-Ning websites.  (Ning websites are social networking websites that are generated by ning.com.  Due to their planning to phase free ning websites out before the announcing of the winners, those websites have been disqualified.  I apologize in advance.)
