[Anna Popplewell, Reign]

[(Anonymous)]

It's very pretty hair OP.

[(Anonymous)]

*jumps up and down* I'm the OP of that secret, and I'm so happy that it helped you!!!

I think we all go through stages where we keep trying to make our hair into something it isn't as opposed to working with what it is. Anna Popplewell is wearing and working her natural curls to their best advantage and she's beautiful in them, and I'm sure you are too.

(God knows I spent years and years doing stupid layered haircuts, trying to force a curl or stick-straight or just get a specific shape into my hair, which it strongly did not agree with, super-long or super-short. I finally gave in and got a twenties-esque bob, all of one length, which my mother had had me wearing all through my childhood -- I guess that's why I rejected it later on. Finally the cut works with my insanely thick and wild hair and it frames my face really well. It's wonderful to realize how to make the best of what you have.)

I don't think Anna's hair is that curly naturally. I think it has a wave, but I do think her hair in Reign is curled by hairdressers. I'm basing this on years of photographs both in a professional context and candid pictures of her hair, pictures when she was a child (before people usually start altering their hair texture) and the hair texture of her siblings.

[(Anonymous)]

No one's hair is that perfectly curly. But what I'm saying is, the hairdressers on Reign seem to have chosen to enhance what she already has (probably using a lot of product to make the curls more uniform, as well as some use of a curling wand) rather than choose a whole different texture for her hair -- Hollywood has always been uncompromising about hair (period pieces would be perfectly detailed and then on top you'd have Shirley Temple's very characteristic curls, for example), but in this case they don't seem to have chosen Lola's hair to be different for reasons of character. They wouldn't do it for practicality's sake either; working curls into uncurly hair is a long and time-consuming process.

(I did a quick and sloppy image search of Anna Popplewell and in almost all her photos her hair is clearly ironed and styled, because that's the popular look now. For Reign's setting her curls work far better, and personally I think they're much prettier on her.)

[alexi_lupin]

I think there's been a lot of enhancement. I do love the look I just suspect her natural texture is more wavy than defined curls.

Hair can change extremely radically with puberty. Mine did -- my hair thickened to three times the previous volume in a matter of months the year I got my period.

[alexi_lupin]

Sure it can. Not always.

[(Anonymous)]

And yet you use childhood pictures of Anna Popplewell as absolute proof?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm jealous. All my life I've wanted hair that could be styled like that, but my hair won't hold any curls at all. Sadface.

[(Anonymous)]

It isn't "just hair." Hair can be tied closely to a woman's self-esteem.

I know how stupid that sounds, and makes "bad hair days" seem like nothing more than "first world problems" but really, hair is more than just some "shallow" trait.

(Err, I realize it's possible OP might be male, but I just wanted to make that point.)

[kallanda_lee]

For what it's worth, a lot of women would pay hard cash to have that sort of hair, OP.

[(Anonymous)]

Hey OP! I'm glad you're finding your hair match (goodness knows I've battled trying to find someone who represents my texture well), buuuuut...the hair in that picture is not kinky. It might get frizzy, but it's not kinky (I speak as someone well acquainted with kinky hair in my family and in the front of my own hair [momma made me relax it as kid]). Don't mean to bring you down, sorry :[

But yeah, if your hair IS kinky, ROCK it! Rock your curls, your coils, kinks and all that! The best part of hair is when you don't need to fight it anymore (plus, with curly hir you have many hairstyle options).

[diet_poison]

that is gorgeous hair!!!

[(Anonymous)]

Ooh, that's good hair, sweetie.

(One of my rules: Life is too long to be hung up on not having someone else's hair.)
