Gwyneth’s recent chop

HAIR 10

Sure, I’ve been a little busy recently, but how have we not discussed La Gwyneth‘s haircut?  (Apologies.)  I am very, very much on the fence.  Which is to say…I want to love it, I could love it, I am just so damn close to loving the idea of it…but I hate it.  What do you think?  Am I crazy?  Is the liberation of her hair from blonde Morticia Addams-land actually a masterstroke on her part?  Or does it just look, well, weird?

    I think the cut is good, it’s the styling that’s a little off. Like Amy said, it needs to pick a style and go with it rather than. . . well, not picking a style.

    It looks awful! Shouldn’t she have products to defrizz her hair? The whole thing looks like it was done back home by her mom or something.

    I agree… I really like her, but the always-long-and-straight look had become quite boaring. Still, this picture looks as if someone had forcefully ripped off her extensions. Her hair looks too frizzy and not very, well, healthy – or too unnatural and styled if they were going for a “natural-my-hair-always-looks-like-this” look.

    I like it. I was so tired of that long hair, it was really time for a change. She looks refreshed and I don’t mind that it’s a little messy looking, not so picture-perfect.

    well, i hated her previous morticia look, so in my opinion, this is slightly better. just slightly though. i wish it was either a little longer, or a little shorter. it’s just so…blech.

  6. Rebecca says:

    Generally, I think it’s a good move. But she needs some smoothing serum or a good blowdry or something. It’s too messy.

    I agree that is just needs a more polished look. After all, Katie Holmes and Victoria Beckham both managed to chop their hair and make people sit up and take notice (in a good way!). I realize neither of them had hair as long as Gwyneth, but there isn’t any doubt the changes were dramatic.

    I think I would also have liked to see her go a little shorter, maybe just above the shoulders. Something similar to the shape of Jennifer Aniston’s cut in the seventh season of Friends, just a little longer.

  8. Shryh says:

    It’s an awkward length… maybe if it were shorter, it would look better?

  9. Kathleen says:

    I think this look is better, but she still has the same issue as before. She needs more volume!

  10. Anna says:

    I think the length is too in-between, and even though she usually uses a middle part, it looks weird here. She should have gone either a little shorter or longer, wavier or smoother, and used a side part.

    And something to de-frizz. Really!
