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.

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

More Hairstyles for Women in their Twenties--

Want to color your hair blonde? Get a blonde foil with varying degrees of warm blond lowlights, allow your natural color to still be present to avoid a high maintenance hairstyle.

The most natural blond color -Scarlett Johansson

***If you're going to go blonde, follow Scarlett's example above with warmer blonde lowlights foiled in. Unlike below, her hair does not look bleached and the above color will allow your skin tone to glow.

When describing to your stylist what use terms like caramel, golden, to keep your hair from being too ashy or bleached. Make sure your natural is color is mixed in to have a low maintenance style. Have your stylist go a little lighter around your face to frame it.

More Hairstyles for the Women in their 20's - for 2007

Kate Bosworth's hairstyle--

Two styles-- a more casual layed look and a straight hair bob.






The Intellectual Look--

For a more writerly look or collegiate look, try red hair with a slight sideswipe bang. The color is what's working here-- an auburn red with just a little bit of red highlights around the face.


I love both of the styles in this photo above. Urban sophisicated. Though Norah's hair could fit a lot situations and styles.

Norah Jones' hairstyle--

For long hair, Norah Jones has a wonderful look.

Another brunette musician with long layers & a bit more angled bangs.

Best Hairstyles for Women in their 20's

Here are some photos of the best hair for women in their twenties. A variety of styles to choose from --some famous, some not. The key is to remember wear what looks best on you and your face shape.

You can wear any style, you just have to feel good in it and wear something that brings out your beauty and focuses on your best qualities.

Some choices for 2007 are--



Ashlee Simpson has her longer hair up in the back, but you can also achieve this look by getting a short hair style with bangs.




The blond pixie. This is an easy style for college and would look well on brunettes or redheads as well. Cute, sassy, and smart.







Maggie Gyllenhaal always looks great. Here are two an easy layered styles.




Beautiful sophistication. Love this angled bob. This would be a great professional look that you could wear in a variety of ways with a few hair accessories.

More 20-something hairstyles to come soon!
See you in a bit.

Best Hairstyles for Women in their . . . .

The next couple weeks we're going to focus in on each generation and give you Best Hair for Women in their 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's and onward!

Our goal is to try offer hairstyles that allow each woman to find herself in the style. For example, you may not be a girly-girl, perhaps you're more on an artist type or intellectual. You might be a feminist who prefers long locks, or someone who wants a quick style. You may be a tomboy, but you like to look good. Or you just might like good hair. We hope to have many styles to choose from. Some may be celebrities, others just real people with nice hair. We're open.

We will start with women in their 20's and work our way up.

We hope these styles offer many choices for you as we begin fall, which too me (who has spent most of her life in school) feels more like a new year than the new year.

So let's begin, best hair for women in their...

The Diane Sawyer Haircut

Honestly, I'm bringing the top haircut to my stylist for my next cut (and I'm 25 years younger than her.) Diane's haircut is great for thick hair as well as for blondes, brunettes, and redheads. It's perfect for the oval face or a little longer for a round face.

I like her bangs in the last photo, though her side swipe bangs on the first photo are perfect. A classic sexy look.

Haircut for all ages: 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's and beyond...

The Bob is Back - The Official Fall Hairstyle of 2007

Ellen Barkin and Paris Hilton wear the hair well. While I'm guessing Ms. Hilton's hair is just tucked up in the back to give the illusion of a bob haircut, Ms. Barkin's is the classic short in the back, longer in the front with some modern layering.

What this shows is that you can wear this style in a sophisticated way in your 20's, your 40's, or older. It's not a hairstyle that dates you.

You can see we here at Hair Obsessed have a soft spot for the bob--modern, classic, geometrical--this year, it's back. I haven't even mentioned Posh Spice - Victoria Beckham who opened the style up.

Best Hair for the Oval Face Shape - Emma Roberts

This is going to take some imagination, but Emma Roberts has the perfect haircut for oval or long faces. The hairstyle she has here is great for younger folks, even women in their 40's and 50's can get away with longer hair, but if you need a more professional style haircut, start with this and basic style of side parted bangs and shorten the length.

Those of use with longer faces, know the issue-- long hair on a long face leads to the look of sadness. Think back to Nicholas Cage in Valley Girl. He always looked so sad in that movie--though mostly due to the eyebrows in the question position--but nothing a good haircut couldn't cure.

If you have a long face, the goal is not to make it look longer, but to make it rounder and you can do that with bangs, or a shorter length, or some body on the sides (see the Keira Knightley photo above).

For a shorter style to this Emma Roberts look, I'd say keep the bangs and the basic cut, but do an angled cut (shorter in the back, longer in the front) to keep it a little more professional. If you're unemployed or just look good in long hair, this style is for you. Still, I'd say anyone over 35 should bring it up in length 2 inches as if you look, those last 2 inches of her hair aren't doing much for the overall style and really, we don't need anything extra to take time away from our days, do we?

Give us the simple styles and let us return to our lives as usual.
