It's unrelated to her hair, but I agree with Jack...she's got her fake british accent. Maybe she'll do the mom chop after having her daughter grapefruit.

My two cents.

I agree about the middle part, not her best look.

I don't usually ask off topic questions but are you serious she named her daughter Grapefruit?

It is a strange coincidence that she looks a lot like Madonna did right after she had Lourdes...that whole Pre-raphaelite soft curls cascading...like "ray of light" ? Even down to the golden color.

It's a great look. I wish I could look like that after having had any of my kids! I was the queen of the
disheveled pony tail!

Apple is a cool fruit and a decent computer.

I despise "the mom chop". It's become one of my greatest enemies in life.

Then don't get it for yourself. But mom's chop their hair because they want it short. Mom's have no time for their hair. They have more important things to worry about.

I hate the "No time for their hair" crap. As was pointed out before short hair can actually take up a hell of a lot more time - at best you can just let your long hair get messy, at least then it's still THERE, it's not going to fall out if you don't take care of it.
And even so they could do their hair while watching the child play, or anything like that. It doesn't take long for a quick brush; do mothers stop having baths and showers too?

If you want short hair, fine, I just hate when people their hair a certain way purely because it's expected of them.

Yes, mothers of children under 4 no longer have time for baths. Some don't shower every day, and when they do it's a quick one. Children can't be left alone while their playing. They need constant supervision. Children of this age have no clue what dangerous is. Even older children shouldn't be left alone for long periods of time. Being a parent means taking responsibility.

And you can't spend a half hour to an hour in the bathroom while watching your child play. Your child isn't going to stay in one place very long.

Some short hairstyles do take a long time for upkeep. Those are rejected by moms. They want low maintenance. Most moms I know spend all day in a ponytail regardless of how short or long the hair is. If it's in a ponytail, why have it long? That just takes longer to care for.

I know a lot of young moms and I've never heard one tell me she was cutting her hair purely because it was expected of her. They do it because they don't have time.

Now some moms keep their hair long and sacrifice the time with their kids. That's a choice, one I think more moms reject.

I've just never gotten the attraction with Gwyneth.

IMO she's everything I don't like about long hair(yes there are many things I do like about it, it depends on the person wearing it). Gwynethi is generic, she's everything that is "supposed to be" pretty, and she's just really quite boring. When she shifts her hair from medium golden blond to light golden blond and the beauty mags try to make her out as a trendsetter I just don't get it.

I really like people who make their own styles a little more creatively. I guess some people really like her look but I just have never seen it....
