Does your hairstyle match your age?

Most women have learned certain beauty tricks that keep them from looking older than they are (or looking their age, as the case may be). In Hollywood, youthful looks seem to be the primary goal of many actresses, so naturally one would imagine that it's the one place where women would make sure to find a fresh, age-appropriate 'do.

However, that's not always the case.

For example, poor Eva Longoria has been making headline for her new hairstyle. She reportedly chopped it off for her role on Desperate Housewives because she's trying to look a little dumpier. On paper, it should be cute, but in execution ... not so much.

Why? The primary problem is that it doesn't look styled, but it doesn't look playfully messy, either. Short, younger-looking tresses have a bit of an edge to them -- perhaps they're a little piecey, or maybe they're artfully tousled. Either way, if you opt to crop, make sure you're selecting a style that stays within your age group.

This woman could shave her head completely bald and she would still be one of the most beautiful women in the world. I just hope she'd leave a little stip on the cooter!

Actually, I think Donald Trump is an absolute genious for creating a hairstyle that makes it seem as if he is not bald when is really is. All he needs to do is trim it shorter, that's all!

I love that there is a symbol for Target behind her while she wears expensive designer clothing and looks dumpy. I am a mother of 3 with not a lot of disposable income and I like to look stylish and spend very little. I shop ebay, Target and Macy's sales. I buy through an online website that tells you all the secret promo codes and gives you cash back at over 300 top websites. The site is called fatcrumbs. http://www.fatcrumbs.com Sephora, Drugstore.com, Best Buy, Dell or some of the stores that are listed.

I think she looks great with the new hair. It looks classy and makes her stand out. I'm so tired of seeing long hair.

She just needs to play with it a little more. She can pull it off.

Dumpy? You have got to be kidding me. She is a beautiful woman. Hair doesn't make the beauty. It's just there.

I think Eva looks absolutely beautiful....she can wear her hair long....short.....mid-length.....or bald, and she would still be one of the most beautiful women in the world.

great look eva.

pay these folks no attention. if your breast or butt is not hanging out or you don't have tatoo's and stringy hair, they can't understand it. they have absolutely noooooooooooooooo class and anything that looks nice and decent is foreign to them.

you're married and starting a family. good for you to look mature!!!!!!!!!!!! some of the reader's should take a HINT!
