Gwyneth Paltrow

I'm exactly the same way and I don't even run a website about it.  Gwyneth  goes for a very casual look except when she's at an affair, so it's understandable she'd let it go straight and not do too much too it most of the time. You're right that it sometimes looks a bit overworked, though. You'd think she'd have the hair care routine down pretty well by now.

Lately Gwyneth Paltrow seems to be sticking to her classic stick straight hairstyle except on the rare times she steps out on the Red Carpet as she does for various Award ceremonies.

One of her favorite hairstyles beside stick straight and just hanging down is with more volume through the roots with loose waves and/or curls.

Shown below is her favorite out-and-about pulled back ponytail.


Some hair experts claim the secret behind her beauty is that she never strays too far from classic hair styles designed so she always looks great.

Gwyn showed off her trademark super sleek straight locks at the LA premiere of Iron Man 2 in April of 2012.

Two days later at the 2nd Annual Bent on Learning Benefit in NYC Gwyneth went for a softer more wavy look.

Some celebrity hair watchers think G looks better with tousled hair because it has more movement, volume and doesn't show some of the broken middle lengths she has probably from breakage from long term bleaching and hair extensions.



Her hair seems shinier and less damaged than when it’s straight.

Do you think that the breakage is why her hair doesn't look as good as it used to?  Or is it her age?  Sometimes stick straight hair worn down can drag a face down and make it look old and tired.

Would G look better with a shorter look?  Maybe Bra Length instead of waist length?

Thoughts on Gwyneth?

Why is her hair not good for long styles but is good for short styles? This ought to be good. Based on your definition, here she is looking bad again the next night.

She just doesn't have very good hair for long styles (IMO)...thought the short do she had a loooonnnnggg time ago was best for her.

Classic Gwyneth with the center part -- the way she was meant to look.

wow, she does look really good.
Something different about her.

Flat can be okay.  Roots, not so much a fan of 'em...  Lifeless?  Who knows how it moves, these are still pictures.

Yea, for some reason I've never liked parting my hair right down the middle. Now that I think of it, I dont think I've ever part my hair down the middle. I always part my hair off-center. I tend to part my hair down the left side of the top of my head. But lately I'm feeling like I need a new style!

On other people part down the middle looks good on some. I think it looks good for ppl with straight hair... although I'm not sure about these gwyneth pics. But I agree she always has this hair style it seems.

Update. (The other gal is Emma Watson)

She looks burnt out
