Some of the Christopher Guest movies, when I’m not really like myself, when I have my hair dyed blonde or had a faux-hawk haircut. Those I like to watch because it takes you away from your real self.
In England we burnt redheads at the stake, because we thought they were witches. There are still young redheads in Britain getting ripped for having red hair. ‘Oy, Ginger!’
I love to see old women. I love wrinkles. I love gray hair.
Acting is all about big hair and funny props… All the great actors knew it. Olivier knew it, Brando knew it.
On the real, because you’re dyeing your hair so much, it gets really damaged, so you just want to use a lot of products that help hydrate it and keep it nice and keep it moisturized. It gets really, really dry.
My hair is always going to be purple; that’s kind of my thing. It doesn’t matter what length I make it, as long as it’s purple.
I’m enjoying the aging process and the gray hair and the wrinkles.
After exercising, I oil my hair regularly with almond, coconut, olive and castor oil.
If you wear your hair straight or natural, it’s all fine with me. It doesn’t mean that you aren’t politically conscious or that you don’t have good thoughts about progress.
Hair color is just an expression of something different that you want to have, or something creative.
I love being natural. I never feel more beautiful then after I’ve been to the beach and my hair’s just a crazy mess of salt curls, or when I’ve just been outside all day hiking.
Vitiligo is just another difference, like freckles, big hair, tiny ears Everyone has differences.
Everybody told me I was making a mistake by going into this business, but I know how to grow hair as well as I know how to grow cotton.
Rock n’ roll was one thing, and then they chopped off the ‘roll’ and called it ‘rock,’ which became a sort of umbrella term for anything with a guitar in it. Like hair bands. How could we possibly believe that? It’s just gotten downright silly, to the point where now it’s sort of become like professional wrestling.
I also said, men are like curling irons, they never get out of your hair. And they are like government bonds, they take so long to mature.

And mothers and daughters – mothers need to help their daughters love their hair. And some mothers know how to do this, and some mothers help their daughters love their hair.
I have a friend who, if she has a bad hair day, it affects her whole mood because it is part of her sexuality, her confidence. I don’t have that problem any more.
I can’t bear looking in the mirror – I guess that’s why my hair looks like this.
I have the biggest hair in the world – and that’s official!
I love the Sixties with Julie Christie and Jane Birkin – those natural English beauties. That’s the look that is most me, when I wore the tight-to-the knee dresses. I don’t think I bleached my hair until I was 20. I like experimenting for big occasions, though. You’ve always got to do a bit of a number for the birthday!
A moustache is actually the one thing I really can grow. One of the bad parts about my facial hair situation is that I can’t grow sideburns. I’m happy to still have my own hair on my head, but I can’t grow any sideburns. If you ever see me with sideburns, they’re not real.
I go into work and get my hair and makeup done, go into wardrobe. I have to do three hours of school a day.
Long hair is considered bohemian, which may be why I grew it, but I keep it long because I love the way it feels, part cloak, part fan, part mane, part security blanket.
Puberty hit me pretty hard. All of a sudden, I woke up, and I had really curly hair.
I see children now, and many things surprise me: they ask me about my boots and why I don’t dye my hair. I wonder, ‘Why don’t you talk to me about how to cross the ball, control it, the position of the body when I strike the ball?’
I’d rather wear jewels in my hair than anywhere else. The face should have the advantage of this brilliance.
Mum and Dad paid me 50 pence, which was a lot of money when I was 8 years old, not to dye my hair.
I’m either thought of as ethereal or fiery. And maybe that’s the interesting thing about red hair: there’s that fiery Renaissance connotation and the ethereal.
Before, I would just only stick to a few certain colors that were considered good for my skin tone and good for my hair. But ever since ‘Stranger Things,’ the wardrobe people there, they would always stick me in these super bright colors. I discovered all these new colors that I just like wearing.
Although I come from a family who are Muslim – my mother is Egyptian, my father is Palestinian – my mother only puts a veil on her head when she has a bad hair day.
A lot of people see that I’m a good rebounder. And then they see the long hair and everything and they think I’m getting these rebounds because of toughness, and because I have a nose for the ball, not because I’m athletic and can actually jump.
Blake Lively is my style icon, and she always has rocking clothes and shoes. She keeps it really simple with hair and makeup, and I try to do the same thing. Onstage, I do a little smokier, a little more contouring, but I still always want to be an approachable and real artist, so I never try to go overboard.
My hair was slicked down with a part. But that was before I discovered the blow-dryer. Now I’m fabulous.
It’s so different when you change your hair color, you’re treated so differently. It’s a very funny experience. It’s fun – I love changing up my hair.
Gorgeous hair is the best revenge.
Bobbed hair makes women look uniform. They lack individuality.
A lot of people don’t believe I was a soldier. They look at my luscious hair and wacky bow-tie collection and immediately put me down as some kind of supernatural geek.
Having your nails and hair done can make you walk around saying, ‘I look good today.’ But challenging your mind can also make you feel good.
I think the kids in school that laughed at the clothes that we wore and the house that we lived in, and then my mother had to cut hair… I think that was a good motivator. Every time they laughed at me, they just built a fire, and there was only one way to put it out – to try and show ’em I was as good as they were.
I refresh Twitter as thoughtlessly as some twirl their hair.
The thing about doing anything artificial to your hair is that you have to look after it. So you’re always vulnerable to the weather and time.
George Carlin is kind of my template now because George Carlin before was straight laced regular comic and he had short hair, a tie, suit, nightclub guy. Then he said screw it, let his hair grow, just started telling what he thought was the truth. So that’s what I’m trying to do.
My brother and I became convinced that to buy and sell legally sheared vicuna hair was the only way to help the vicuna increase in numbers. If the animal becomes useful to society, people will take care of the animal; if it’s not useful, they will not take care.
I am really terrible when it comes to guys. Inside, I just see myself as this overweight tomboy with funny-coloured hair and bad skin.
I know that sometimes the chemistry just isn’t there between the model, photographer, hair and make-up. It’s nobody’s fault and you just have to do better next time.
I would love not to be losing my hair.
For keeping hair long and healthy, I like to use silk pillowcases; they conduct less heat and keep your ends less frayed. Also, I sleep with my hair in a very loose top bun to keep my ends away from my body heat. This also keeps your hair from getting tangled at the nape of your neck.
But there’s so much kludge, so much terrible stuff, we are at the 1908 Hurley washing machine stage with the Internet. That’s where we are. We don’t get our hair caught in it, but that’s the level of primitiveness of where we are. We’re in 1908.
And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
I felt that I ostracized myself by my behavior, by the past, by living with all the regrets of my mistakes, that I sort of wore a hair shirt and beat myself up most of the day thinking and regretting why did I make such a mistake? Why have I made so many mistakes?
So many actors wear wigs nowadays. Besides, if someone is hiring me because of how I wear my hair, I don’t want to work with them anyway.
I love to keep my hair long, and I think every lady should have long hair. After all, it looks so feminine and beautiful.
When red-haired people are above a certain social grade their hair is auburn.
I’m not dead and I don’t have blue hair but some people say there are similarities. It is usually intolerable to watch myself onscreen but this time it’s fine. I think it’s beautiful and a real work of art.
The hardest pill for me to swallow has been receiving recognition, getting dressed up, going to events. That’s the part that has always terrified me. You can see dozens of photos where I have zero hair and makeup and I’m wearing my own jeans and T-shirt, because I was not that interested in that side of it.
I went to a Catholic school, so of course we had to wear uniforms. My only form of expression was in shoes and the style of my hair.
I remember when I first saw Whoopi Goldberg doing standup, and she was wearing a sheet on her head, basically pretending to be this little white girl with long luxurious blonde hair. Everyone can relate to that. It’s an oral history of black women’s lives through laughter.
