Celebrity Hair – Roaring 40s

Sarah Jessica Parker, 45

If you have naturally curly hair, embrace it, says New York celeb stylist Mark Garrison. Not only will the waves be easier to manage, they will bring out your youthful self – just as they do for SJP. When styling hair, use a curl crème with a diffuser or let your locks dry naturally.

Jennifer Aniston, 40

Wholesome, clean and shiny – both Jen and her trademark tresses. Her amazing highlights are achieved with a creative colour weaving technique. A very fine, uneven weaving is performed all over. This produces a natural look with a combination of tiny strands and slightly larger strands intermingled with no apparent pattern. The sun-kissed effect is finished with a few larger strands strategically placed to cause the appearance of blonde sun streaks. These are most effectively placed in the front, framing the face.

Sandra Bullock, 46

Many people don’t realise that Sandra’s sleek, sophisticated hair is actually curly; the actress employs a variety of straighteners to tame her locks. Her slinky side-parted ‘do for the 2010 Oscars was a winner – as, indeed, was Sandra herself – with movement created by long layers and tapered ends. Sydney stylist Dario Cotroneo says the way we wear our hair sends out subliminal messages about how we want to be perceived. Wearing the hair forward over one shoulder and back from the other, exposing the neck and shoulder, suggests “availability”. Poor Sandy was available but just didn’t know it yet – only weeks later her marriage to Jesse James ended after his affair with a tattooed stripper was exposed.

Cate Blanchett, 41

The Robin Hood star cum Sydney Theatre Company supremo lopped off her shoulder-length locks in exchange for a super short – and super cute – boyish pixie ‘do in June. “Like most working mothers, time is sacred,” the mum of three has said. When it comes to her beauty routine, “all I can manage is five minutes in the morning and evening.” Her shorter locks are sure to save time.

Julia Roberts, 47

“My real hair colour is kind of a dark blonde. Now I just have mood hair,” she once said. Seems Julia’s always in a pretty good mood, then, because no matter whether her bouncy waves are blonde, brunette or red, they always look shiny, healthy and youthful.

Halle Berry, 44

Her super-short and sassy pixie haircut fits her perfectly proportioned face like a glove. Although she has worn her hair long in recent years (courtesy of extensions), Halle’s series of short and super short crops, chops and pixies are her much-mimicked trademark.

Vanessa Williams, 47

Ugly Betty’s stunning villainess chooses a mix of curl for her softly volumised hairstyle.
