    Whatever. I'm plus-sized and 33. That's been my hair on and off since I was like 15. I'm in a rut I guess. And lazy. That hair is wash, brush, maybe a little hairspray, and air dry. And mine waves up on it's own. So suck it. Suck it hard. Or don't. I don't want saliva in my hair. Carry on. #hair

    she tells the reporter that her hair is mostly natural — the color gets touched up every six months, and the "unraveling curls" are created not with fancy techniques and curling irons, but by letting her hair dry in a simple chignon.

    She is a liar. C'mon people--why are we still lionizing another blonde? #hair

    shit my hair looks like that when it's long. because I just wash it, comb it, and twist it into a bun. when it dries, it's somewhat curly. however it doesn't have as much body, probably due to my lack of extensions. but I suppose, as a short fattie, I should keep it short and straight? #hair

    Oh that is such bull. Tiny people such as Jennifer Love Hewitt had those waves, and fat people like Mama Cass looked gorgeous with hair that long and wavy. I think what he means is, "I'm too uneducated and inexperienced to work with someone outside my usual clientel." #hair

    Pshh. I want Blair hair.

    Anyway, giant hair isn't just for rich people. My sister, broke ass medical student, is case in point. All she needs is some backcombing, some Elnett and a straightener and she has the most giant and ridiculous hair around. I think she looks insane, but hey, she likes it, and I can't argue with her technique. She managed to curl my straight and thick hair once so that I had these gorgeous Blair curls for about three days--when I do it, it lasts half an hour. #hair

    I call bullshit on her colour touch ups. With those colour brows and that colour blonde on her hair... she would get it much more than twice a year. #hair

    @coconanas: As in any celebrity article, I would tend toward the assumption that it is almost entirely bullshit (as this seems to be).

    Although I must say that it is possible she doesn't color all too often. It looks like she mostly has highlights, which she could probably (as I do) stretch to every 4 months.

    Also, I was blonde as a child, dirty blonde now, and my eyebrows are dark brown. I have been told all my life that I couldn't possibly be a natural blonde with my eyebrows, but both my Grandma and Aunt share the same trait. I think it's uncommon, but possible. #hair

    @Vivelafat says Sweep the leg, Johnny.: Completely agreed. I have naturally blonde hair -- much much lighter than her base color -- and used to waste my money highlighting it even blonder. I had roots in 6 weeks. 6 months between highlights, my ass. #hair

    @littlestu: Have you seen her hair? It's got about 12 different shades of blonde in it. You know that shit is expensive. My husband calls the color "Money" as in, "she's got money colored hair" #hair

    ::shrug:: Pretty much every girl out here in SoCal has this hair. It does nothing for me. I mean, it's nice hair, and kudos to her for either genetics or at the very least a good colorist (highlighting is often deceptively more complicated than it seems).

    Personally, I'm enjoying my prematurely gray/white hair. I get asked constantly how I dye it like this. I inherited by mom's hair, where the white hairs have "staggered" pigment which makes them look silvery white as opposed to dull.

    I sometimes miss my darker hair, but then I can always add stuff into this if I want to. Like my current blue/gray streaks. And it's unusual to have hair this gray and white at 30. #hair

    However boring or simple her hairdo may actually be, as somebody who didn't grow up with the type of female relatives who were interested in beauty routines, and who's had short-cropped hair since early childhood, women with long, flowy hair really are awe-inspiring and sort of mysterious to me. Isn't it heavy? Does your head get hot? Doesn't it tangle? How do you make it look like that? #hair

    Take out aspirational and substitute it with "designed to make you feel like shit" because that's essentially what it means #hair

    My first ever hair crush was Topanga on Boy Meets World. Now that was some damn good hair.

    Edited to add: AFTER the famous "Topanga gets a real haircut" episode.

    If she lets her hair dry in a chignon, it must not be very thick. If I braid my hair or put it in a bun while it's wet, it will take over 24 hours to dry naturally and by then, it will smell mildewy.

    As for the assertion that all she does is let it dry and then it turns out that way, I call bullshit. For one thing, as she stated, she dyes her hair. Guaranteed, she spends a ton of time and money to make her hair look like it is all natural--which, is totally fine, though. Secondly, that show is styled to the hilt. Are we really to believe that prior to filming, a makeup crew does her face, while the hairstylist doesn't touch her hair? Finally, there was a NY Mag story about Gossip Girl not too long ago and they indicated that she was an absolute diva and wouldn't let anyone see her before her hair and makeup were complete. I'm just not buying it.

    @Tchotchke: That is very true. My hair takes forever to dry and I always have to leave it down whilst in the process, otherwise it gets that dreaded smell.

    As for the way it turns out - I think bullshit just because I can't imagine hair is *that* consistent. I get tons of compliments on my hair and I do nothing to it, and oftentimes it looks styled. However there are many times when I let it dry and it looks meh. For someone who is shooting everyday, I have to imagine a lot of times they need to do something to it. #hair
