Long Hair Movies

There is absolutely no question that Demi's hair is all natural. No extensions!

Perhaps the providers/installers of extensions want you to believe that that fabulous hair of hers is fake as a means to drum up business for salons that install extensions.

Actually _ To correct whoever posted about Demi. I am holding a hairstyle Magazine right this moment that describes the type of extensions she is wearing right now. I am totally in shock! I thought it was really hers. it looks so natural.

I lved practical magic
and Julia Stiles's hair in her earlier movies when it was long and wavy

Jacqui

Olivia Hussey in the 1960s Romeo and Juliet film by Zepherelli. It's gorgeous. The film was amazing too. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Also the old Star Wars with Princess Leia's beautiful styles. The new ones are too fake and the hair looks like plastic.

I agree everyone who said that extensions aren't as inspiring as real hair, but doesn't it make you feel chuffed to know yours is/will be real?

"Splash" with Darryl Hannah was on last night. Yes, she no doubt had a wig on, but she looked splendid just the same.

The above thought (in relation to hair) is a sentiment I share.
To let the beauty of long hair manifest itself as Nature intended, through patience and care, is far superior IMO to the instant disposable artifice of extensions.

But we live in a world that "knows the price of everything and the value of nothing" - that values "image above substance".

Of course, expressing such a view is tantamount to heresy in certain quarters, and draws the venom of various industries that feed and breed on the sense of inadequacy that the fashion media and others instill in the populace.

For instance, a friend of mine spends a small fortune every 2 months getting different types of extensions bonded or braided into her hair. Consequently, she has traction alopecia and areas of sore scalp.

Now she's considering growing out her naturally curly hair and going for a thermal reconditioning treatment to make it poker straight.
I tried to tell her that it may cause a further deterioration in the condition of her scalp and hair, but she looked at me blankly - like I was crazy.

Maybe I am, but I'm glad I'm not the only one .

The lead male actors in LOTR wore wigs with the exception of Viggo Mortensen, I believe. For his role as Aragorn, Viggo gree hair to his shoulders and had it coloured dark brown from it's original blonde.
He has sported shoulder-length hair before with it's natural colour. He looked so amazingly handsome...drop dead gorgeous in fact.......OK, I'll shut up now .

Its not so much that I like their look less when its extentions. The look can be quite breathtaking. Its just that its not really their hair. Nothing to say "why cant I have hair like hers" over. becasue you can! If you get the right extentions that is. I just admire real locks much more.

Its like implants and cosmetic surgery. So and so might look stunning! But thats becasue she had such and such removed, reduced, enlarged, enhanced, straightened, lifted, tucked, etc. I value natural beauty above the "altered to make perfect" beauty.

Im not saying there arent cases where surgery isnt necessary. There are. For example if your born with a deformity and want to change it to have normal features or if you have a medical problem that needs cosmetic surgery, thats fine. Its just that so many are going for that perfect body look.

Why cant we be a bit more natural in this world. Everybody wants to be pretty. too bad we all cant just morph into our ideal in beauty...or too bad we cant just be happy with how we are.

has anyone here ever watched that extream makeover show?

Anyways I like the "born with it" over the "I bought it". "I bought it" might be very pretty but it doesnt hold the value of "I grew it myself". Of course for movies "i bought it" is more practical and often will look better. Thats fine by me. But i wont say oh my gosh her hair is gorgeous in the same way i would say it if it really was hers.

We can end the game now. "Tuff Turf" is the best of the best! About half the movie, Kim has crimped hair. The rest of the movie, it's straight and equally as gorgeous. Thanks for the memories!

demi's hair was and is real with no extenions.

Great topic for discussion!

Most Jane Seymour movies would qualify. Her hair was never longer than it was in "Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger." There is also a longhaired blonde in that 1977 movie. I wonder if the blonde has done anything since.

"Somewhere in Time," based on Mackinaw Island, is great as well -- especially the scene in which Jane lets her hair down.

The third most memorable "hair" movie appearance by Jane is the James Bond flick "Live and Let Die," which was made in 1973.

Man, she's had long hair a long time. I know I've appreciated her!
