Does Your Hair Make You Look Old?
Don't let your tresses age you. Try these easy, take-the-years-off tricks, tips and products.

Here's a bit from it:

"A woman in her 40s doesn't have the hair she had at 20 — it's not just her imagination," says British hair expert Philip Kingsley, author of The Hair Bible. As we age, our locks and scalp are affected by a trio of tribulations — namely dryness, dullness, and thinning. But our accumulating birthdays are not all to blame; dyeing, blow-drying, and styling all contribute to the damage.

"Women need to think about their hair the same way they think about their skin," says Gretchen Monahan, a Boston hairstylist and style expert for the Rachael Ray Show. "We're used to moisturizing and protecting our faces, but we don't apply the same care basics to hair."


Lots of information on thinning hair and how to deal with it (they suggest sideswept bangs)

Julia Roberts - Hairstyles for Women in their 30's & 40's

Julia Roberts turned 40 this year, but these are all hairstyles that would look great on women in their thirties or forties.

Long bangs set to the side with a very dark brunette color. A professional layered look.

Hollywood glamour with Farrah Fawcett hair parted in the middle, but still, it works well. I tend to like Julia with darker or red hair than blond, I thought overall that this worked.

The "Un-do" What's interesting is this hairstyle is commonly seen on Kate Hudson, Meg Ryan, or Jennifer Aniston, but on Julia it looks more....just woke up. I think because her coloring is not very California girl, or maybe it's the glasses. I'm not sure, but it's a casual do and would be good for a young woman with lighter eyes. This hairstyle in a darker color or an auburn, would be perfect on her.

Red haired Julia. I think Julia looks best as a redhead. Her skin just looks so much healthier. A reminder for those of us who like to go too blond, the warmer tones can fix pale skin to a healthy glow. Middle part and curls, auburn locks. Lovely.

Strawberry blonde Julia Roberts. Great haircut with side-swept bangs, long and slightly layered. Again, the only thing that would make this haircut look even better on her is if it were a bit darker. Still, a great look for any thirty year old or any forty year old.

Best Haircut of 2007 - Victoria "Posh" Beckham's bob (photo front back side and profile pics)

Well, this was a no brainer. Victoria Beckham (aka Posh Spice) brought back the bob in a new modern way. The angled bob, the blond bob, the hip bob-- how often do "hip" and "bob" go together? While it's a style most women can wear, the worry with the bob is that it will look like either a bell or Rosanna Rosanna Dana triangle hair.

But this new cut is stylish and easy for women of ALL ages. And you too can wear the Posh Spice haircut.

The key is shorter in the back, longer in the front. The bob needs to have an angle to it, it can be as dramatic as you please, but it needs an angle--the back NEEDS to be shorter than the front.

Here's the Victoria Beckham bob, hairstyle of 2007. Also, a couple side photos and photos of the back of her bob in case you need to bring something in to your stylist. Of course, in a week it will be 2008 and will this become "so 2007?" We'll find out.

Michelle Williams with Short Hair

Cute pixie cut on Michelle Williams. Stylish easy hair for fall.

This haircut would look good on women of all ages and women with long or oval faces. Of course, Michelle's heart shaped face fits is perfectly.

Not So Desperate Housewife Hairstyles...OR Hairstyles for your 40's...

Did you watch Desperate Housewives this week? A fabulous return to fall tv. Edie is not dead. Susan is preggers. Brie is faux-pregnant. And there's a new neighbor. Mostly though, the women look gorgeous and what's great, 4 of the 5 are over 40.

Below are some of the best hairstyles, haircuts, and best hair color for women over forty.

Marcia Cross, Felicity Huffman, Nicolette Sheridan, and Teri Hatcher

Teri Hatcher in a bob and with long curly hair

While "the wet look" probably won't do it for the average girl, this style with the layers and side-swept bang allows the longer face not to be so long. Also, a little fullness in back and on the sides also helps to even out a long face. It shows that even someone with a long face can wear long hair.

***this shorter style with framing around the face looks the best on long faces.

Marcia Cross with the best red haircolor. Also, Cross shows the redhead how to chose their colors. Look at how gorgeous the yellow shirt looks against her haircolor. She is absolutely glowing here. Also a nice basic cut (for not-so-perfect faces, put your part on the side...)

Felicity Huffman with a bob
