Hair Care
Hair Dos and Don'ts for Your 30sYou're not old, but your daring 20s are behind you. Here's how to wear your hair during this style-transition time |
Don't: Damage your hair Much like rocker hair color looks cheap, damaged hair makes you look way less put-together than you should be in your 30s. Britney Spears has such fried ends, it looks like she hasn't seen a salon since their 20s; not good.
Fowler suggests working with your natural hair texture, especially if you have curly hair. "You don't want to be blow drying it every day," she adds. When you do heat style, protect your hair with a product like Kiehl's Heat-Protective Silk-Straightening Cream, $17. You can also keep the damage down by using a UV spray when you know you'll be in the sun, wearing a hat outdoors, and using deep conditioning treatments regularly.

I personally find that the red colour makes Christina Hendricks face look very pale. Her face is only saved by her blush.

I liked it. Completely random but Drew Barrymore reminded me of the Mona Lisa in the one pic

As a full-time stay at home mom I find this article lacking focus. Moms' can have long hair, and often may choose to do so. Why all the negative attention on moms? I feel like I can still do sexy even though I'm not "supposed to" for some reason?

I will never get a 'Mom" cut! I cut my hair short one time when I was 17 and never again will I do it again! My hair has always been long and even if I am 60 it will stay that way! It all depends on how you style it.

Why do you have to cut your hair shorter as you get older? I really think that's outdated! Your hair should be a reflection of you and how you feel, not a number.

Ok, big problem Christina Hendricks hair is NOT a natural shade of red at all. I am a hairdresser, for 19yrs, never have I seen a natural redhead that shade. NEVER. Also what if in your 30s you look young and want a wild hair color?? Please YOURSELF, you only have one life.
