Lock Stars – Long Hair At Any Age

Anne Hathaway, 20s

Throw out the old “rule” book – there is nothing that says anymore that you have to be a teen or twentysomething, like soon-to-be-Oscars-presenter Ms Hathaway, to enjoy luxuriant long tresses. But the key is that – luxuriant. If you keep it in peak condition, with a few shaping and colouring tweaks to adapt to the passing years, long hair can rock it into your 40s, 50s and beyond.

Penelope Cruz, 30s

Long layers and highlights are well suited to women in their 30s, like Penelope. Ask your hairdresser for length through your layers and contrasting highlights. To style it like Penelope’s, apply a curl-enhancing cream and blow dry with a diffuser attachment. Use your fingers rather than a brush to shape hair as you dry. Introduce soft waves with a medium barrel curling iron. A sine-enancing spray to finish will keep hair smooth and shiny on the surface.

Nicole Kidman, 40s

To take long hair from the 30s to 40s, switch to a side part. And don’t be afraid to swap between super-straight and big, bouncy curls, as Nicole often does. Just make sure your style doesn’t sit flat at the roots, clinging to your scalp.

Christie Brinkley, 50s

Wearing your hair long in your 50s is foxy – just look at Christie. Take her lead and ask your hairdresser for shorter layers that frame the face and a sweeping side fringe to keep the look fresh. Long hair with soft layers and flattering highlights will bring a more youthful glow to your complexion.

Jane Seymour, 60s

By your 60s, it will be more important than ever to tend to the condition of your hair and you may have experienced some thinning/loss of hair volume as a result of the natural ageing process and hormonal changes through menopause. Give yourself weekly treatments and regular trims. “While cutting your hair may seem like the last thing you want to do when going for length, it keeps hair healthy and prevents you from having to chop off a big chunk later,” says Barney Martin, Pantene’s expert hair stylist. Jane has clearly taken that advice throughout her career; having just entered her seventh decade, her long locks look as lustrous as when she was Bond girl Solitaire in the 1970s.

Raquel Welch, 70s

A siren into her 70s, Raquel’s long hair may be one of her favoured wigs – she has her own line of hugely popular hairpieces – but she wears it well, allowing the ageless sceen star to chop and change her look. We love this one!
