2
I feel the most confident when I’m comfortable in workout clothes with my hair up in a ponytail.

I find the whole concept of being ‘sexy’ embarrassing and confusing. If I do a photo-shoot, people desperately want to change me – dye my hair blonder, pluck my eyebrows, give me a fringe. Then there’s the choice of clothes. I know everyone wants a picture of me in a mini-skirt. But that’s not me.
4

There’s no doubt that the Moon is more than a handy night light and a hair restorer for werewolves. It’s responsible for the substantial amplitude of earthly ocean tides. These are of obvious influence if you’re a geoduck, a type of clam that people dig up at low tide.
7
People tend to think I lack focus. This is probably something they conclude from my trendy dressing style or my hair color. They forget my wins. I guess it’s easy to forget.
8
My Barbies were usually naked. Once, I took their heads off, cut their hair, drew on their short, spiky hair with some markers, then stuck the heads on Christmas lights. Every year, we’d string our tree with those Barbie heads. It looked demonic. My parents were so cool – they saw it as a form of self-expression.
9
We’re teaching our kids that attributes as vague and relatively meaningless as a toothy smile or a fine head of hair make a fine statement about a person.
10
My hair is really easy. I used to wear it very curly on air, but they prefer a smoother look on television. I just flat iron it and do big barrel curls.
11
I had not starred in an independent film and it’s about a woman who owned a hair salon.
12
I use argan oil when I have dry ends. A good hair brush, like a Mason Pearson, is great because it doesn’t damage the hair. I like Kerastase shampoo and conditioner best.

I’m keeping the pixie. I hope I inspire people… it’s really cool to have short hair.
14

When I was modeling in Japan, I could blend in a little because of my hair, but my roommates with blonde hair got harassed. People would touch their hair and grope them in the subway. Actually, a lot of groping happens in the subway in Japan, but that’s probably true of subways everywhere.
20
When I was a child, our summer days were spent swimming; chlorine in my hair was like perfume to me.
21
If I looked good in ‘Wolf of Wall Street,’ I cannot take full credit; it was because of the hair extensions and makeup.
22
Women are blessed with lots and lots of extra ways to win or lose validation. If you’re a woman, you’ll be judged on your beauty and your wit and how often you smile. You’ll be judged on how much hair you have in some places and not in others.
23
I must say also that it’s never worked to my disadvantage that I have long, blond hair.

27
When you’ve got four people to get dressed to get out the door you don’t really spend a lot of time on yourself. But that’s the way I roll anyway. I was never one to do my hair and make-up just to go to the market, so it’s not that much different. If I get a little eye cream on, I feel I’m ahead of myself.
28
Dirt makes a man look masculine. Let your hair blow in the wind, and all that. It’s OK. All you have to do is look neat when you have to look neat.
29
My biggest secret is that I don’t over-wash my hair. I wash it twice a week at the most, unless I’m on set every day.

31
I’m such a blonde. It just doesn’t make sense for me to have dark hair.
32
I felt like an ugly duckling back in school. I was a complete tomboy with short hair. Never in my dreams did I imagine that I would walk the ramp with 6-inch heels. My friends can’t believe that I’m an actor, because I was such an introvert in school.
33
I’m very lucky because my eyes work with almost any hair color. Thanks for the genetics, parents.
34
I’m the artist formally known as Beck. I have a genius wig. When I put that wig on, then the true genius emerges. I don’t have enough hair to be a genius. I think you have to have hair going everywhere.
35
I didn’t like my hair and makeup one time on a photo shoot, and my publicist told me, ‘You should just be happy with it – they haven’t had a black girl on the cover since forever.’ She’s no longer my publicist.

42
This head has risen above its hair in a moment of abandon known only to men who have drawn their feet out of their boots to walk awhile in the corridors of the mind.

44
Everyone always asks me about my hair… I usually have extensions in.
45
I like to sing in the car with the windows rolled down and hair blowing all over my face.

47
I was a tough kid with the jeans, the concert shirt with the flannel over it, the comb in the back pocket and the feathered hair.
48
I think colouring your hair is the best way to get a new look.

The working men, I’ll go by and they’ll whistle. At first they whistle because they think, ‘Oh, it’s a girl. She’s got blond hair and she’s not out of shape,’ and then they say, ‘Gosh, it’s Marilyn Monroe!’
50
I would love not to be losing my hair.
51
After exercising, I oil my hair regularly with almond, coconut, olive and castor oil.
52
I think that, as a black girl, you grow up internalizing all these messages that say you shouldn’t accept your hair or your skin tone or your natural features or that you shouldn’t have a voice or that you aren’t smart.

A hair-hopper is someone who pretends they’re rich, who really wasn’t brought up very wealthy but now tries to brag that they’re rich, and they spend too much time on their hair.

I was 23, and that was my first professional job. Anybody who has curly hair knows you don’t want it to be brushed out because it becomes a never-ending tangle.
58
Death metal uses a lot of white face paint and black hair dye to make its point. I quite enjoy this genre for its intensity, extremism and underlying irony: You have to be alive to play it and listen to it.

Aging is one of the most visual diseases on the planet and includes things that we all know like wrinkles and grey hair, but also brain atrophy, muscle wasting and organ damage.
60
A wartime Minister of Information is compelled, in the national interest, to such continuous acts of duplicity that even his natural hair must grow to resemble a wig.
61
In particular I want to talk about natural black hair, and how it’s not just hair. I mean, I’m interested in hair in sort of a very aesthetic way, just the beauty of hair, but also in a political way: what it says, what it means.
62
My long, blonde hair has been my trademark ever since I started modelling in the Seventies, when I was scouted sunbathing in St Tropez.

64
I was probably the only kid in school that had long hair.
65

66
Hair is a beautiful form of self-expression.
67
There’s part of our culture where uniqueness is celebrated and appreciated and another part of our culture where this one way to be – one color hair, one sized breasts, one kind of nose – that’s also front and center.

I don’t spend as much time on my hair as people think. I get out of the shower, whack some grease on there and I’m done.
69
Unlike a celebrity, there’s nothing I won’t try and nothing I won’t talk about when it comes to my hair. If I were to get a tattoo on my inner upper arm, it would read, ‘Change thy hair, change thyself.’
70
I was, like, a total cliched ’80s child. I had Barbies, obviously, as well as My Little Ponies and Cabbage Patch Kids, but I used to destroy them. I used to draw all over their faces and cut off their hair.
71
My hair grows and grows; you cannot stop it – that fellow grows, it grows wild.
72
I’ve gotten to where my hair is like my onstage prop; I need to hide behind it and throw it around – it’s my slo-mo effect.
73
When I was in my early 20s, I had my hair permed. Bad idea! It turned into total frizz. My advice to women is, if you have nice hair already, don’t get a perm, leave your hair alone!
74
I have so much residue crap in my hair from years and years of not washing it and not having any sense of personal hygiene whatsoever. Even today, I go into these things where I’m supposed to be this sexy guy or whatever, and I’m literally asking, ‘If I get plumes of dandruff on me, can you just brush it off?’
75
I was thin and didn’t realize how small I was – I was, like, 96 pounds when I got signed. You don’t want to be 96 pounds. It’s not attractive. I didn’t know how to do my hair and makeup. I was such a tomboy.
76
My mum is a fashion inspiration to me. She always goes to great lengths to get ready in the morning, from her hair to her makeup to her nails, and matching her suit with her shoes.
77
It’s been fascinating watching all those pictures of me with a lot more hair Jeremy, and looking very young. And we’ve all got things we’ve said, twenty, thirty years ago, indeed the whole world has changed since then.
78
It’s not all about having the perfect body, perfect hair, perfect smile.
79
I’ve still got a brilliant head of hair, which refuses to lay down!
80
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.
81
I have not had any plastic surgery in any shape or form. No implants. And my hair is not dyed.
82
Let the devil catch you but by a single hair, and you are his forever.
83
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.
84
I at least have to cut my hair. I can’t do the whole man bun, funky long hair thing anymore.
85
You know, I do not think it is necessarily looks, I do not think I am the prettiest girl… Everyone has something that is their asset, some have the hair, some have the cheekbones, others have the lips. But once you know what is your asset, then you should capitalize on it.
86
As a black woman trying different products and figuring out what works best for me, the one thing that I realized is that hair brands lump us together as having ‘black hair,’ but all black hair is not alike.
87
I could have my hair really short. I didn’t have to wear dresses, I could wear baggy old T-shirts and ripped trousers and monkey boots and I was desirable to boys that were into the same stuff.
88
At the start of high school, I looked like a girl… to a very major degree. I had really long hair and a really round face with no facial hair. And I went to a very rough high school.
89
In the early Seventies, I had shoulder-length hair, bell-bottom pants, love beads and shirts that laced up at the front. But then I smartened up.
90
Acting is all about big hair and funny props… All the great actors knew it. Olivier knew it, Brando knew it.
91
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair.
92
As for facial hair, I think I decided it was a good look after graduate school. I always shave it myself and trim my own beard. I change the look depending on the role. For ‘Million Dollar Baby,’ I had no facial hair. For ‘Men in Black 3,’ I had no facial hair but did wear a wig.
93
My dad had the longest, silkiest, healthiest hair you’ve ever seen on a man. He had an extensive skincare routine. He was very picky with food. He never ate with his hands.
94
I just knew I had it, but my mum and dad were always great, and it was always a thing I had but a thing that wasn’t bad. It was just saying like, I have brown hair, I have brown eyes, and I’ve got cerebral palsy.
95
Because the heart beats under a covering of hair, of fur, feathers, or wings, it is, for that reason, to be of no account?
96
I was traveling on our tour bus through Europe and I was thinking I want to have long blonde hair.
97
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.
98
I never wore a single fedora filming ‘L.A. Noire.’ It took about an hour and a half to do the hair – it was a very precise process.
99
You know, sometimes I feel well and vital in the world, and sometimes I just feel so distressed I want to pull my hair out by the roots.
100
I’ve got crap teeth, crap hair. I never have facials. I still have hairs in the middle of my eyebrows.
101
I think I’m more approachable with long hair. When it’s short, I come across as being artsy and weird.
102
My style icons are Lucille Ball for her bouffant hair and all the updos, James Dean for his rockabilly style – the denim and rolled-up T-shirt thing. And I am also inspired by Dita Von Teese and Gwen Stefani. Their style is retro, but it’s still very feminine at the same time.
103
When I was writing pretty poor poetry, this girl with midnight black hair told me to go on.
104
I hate the feeling of having hair on my neck.
105
Sailing is the closest I can get to nature – it’s adrenaline, fear, a constant challenge and learning experience, an adventure into the unknown. And of course there is nothing better than wearing the same T-shirt for days and not brushing my hair for weeks.
106
Hair color is the easiest way to change your appearance, but a bad dye job might draw more attention to you.
107
Everything I do, I want to be A.J. Styles. When you see a guy come out with dry, long hair, I want you to be like, ‘Hey, that reminds me of A.J. Styles.’ That’s what I want.
108
Yorkshire weather can turn quickly. At one Auld Lang Syne race, it dropped to -16C. The frost turned everybody’s hair grey. I couldn’t take my shoes off, as my laces had frozen solid.
109
I just grew the hair on my back. Facial hair just wasn’t appealing to me. I liked it on my back, though.
110
I had really long hair, and we had this hairdresser, Laverne, that was in Athens. And she did my hair up really big. And she said, ‘Honey, when you hang your head over the bed and make love, that hair is not going to move.’
111
I have no detectable hair style.
112
Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
113
I bumped into my cousin after she’d shaved her hair very short, and she looked incredible. She seemed so effortless and cool, and I wanted that. And, I’ve had it like that ever since.
114
It is not by the gray of the hair that one knows the age of the heart.
115
Nobody knows what really a beautiful person is, so don’t worry. If you have pimples today, it’s nothing. If you have a bad hair day, it’s nothing. Feel beautiful. Feel sexy, and it will shine. It will show outside.
116
I went to Brooklyn College and met this beautiful Jewish girl named Merle, with dark hair, exotic looking and brilliant. So we got married and had three children.
117
I was well into adulthood before I was prepared to acknowledge the simple fact that I am gay. It took years of struggle and growth for me to recognize that it’s just a fact of life, like having brown hair, and part of who I am.
118
I can’t ever imagine going in for short hair. I’m somehow not comfortable in getting a short haircut done.
119
When I ask my medical students to describe their image of a woman who elects to birth with a midwife rather than with an obstetrician, they generally describe a woman who wears long cotton skirts, braids her hair, eats only organic vegan food, does yoga, and maybe drives a VW microbus.
120
I love getting ready to do a scene, and thinking about it, and talking about it. But the rest of the time, I’m so nervous and obsessed. I’m just tearing my hair out in the trailer. The whole time I’m really tense.
121
I feel… sexier, I think, with short hair. I feel like an alien!
122
I love having my hair and makeup done for red carpets, but to have that done every day would be exhausting.
123
I take advantage of every thing I can – age, hair, disability – because my cause is just.
124
I like to maintain a certain sense of fantasy. At home, do I have the full hair and makeup? No. But I might have the nice dress on.
125
I do a lot of styling on my hair, and my ends can look really sad.
126
I’m wondering if I made the right decision about hair and makeup.
127
I used to experiment all the time with my hair color.
128
I love to keep my hair long, and I think every lady should have long hair. After all, it looks so feminine and beautiful.
129
Yet I’ve discovered that how I look is not a function of anything as ephemeral as my hair.
130
Humans metabolize their purchases very quickly, even if it seemed worth it for any number of reasons when you first bought it. After some time passes, people will go back to feeling the baseline feelings they had previously felt about themselves, no matter how shiny the object, the hair, or the experience.
131
I like going in the ocean and leaving my hair for two days with the saltwater beachy look. I think that is part of the reason I would love to cut my hair short. I just wouldn’t ever have to think about it.
132
I wanted little kids in Brazil to look at me like I used to look at Roberto Carlos. I wanted them to start growing their hair out because of Marcelo, you know?
133
I do condition my hair with honey and beer. I smell like the bottom of a beer barrel for days afterwards, but it’s very good for the hair.
134
Worry – a God, invisible but omnipotent. It steals the bloom from the cheek and lightness from the pulse; it takes away the appetite, and turns the hair gray.
135
I love my wigs, I love how easy they are. You just put them on and go, you can chose straight hair, curly hair, whatever I am feeling for the day.
136
If I have long hair, I go for more… fitting, like a miniskirt dress or a very tight black leather outfit.
137
I was terribly gawky, too goofy to become a high-kicking cheerleader, with stringy brown hair and bad posture. Definitely nobody noticeable!
138
So many guys are so conservative with their hair, and I always joke with all my buddies when they mess with me, and I’ll say, ‘That’s right, keep the same haircut for ten years.’ How fun is that?
139
My daughter teases me once in a while saying, Remember when you used to be my mother and you had black hair?
140
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.
141
I didn’t get my hair cut for two movies, and it got a little long. I’m going back to a… not a crew cut. Back to, oh, about a Presbyterian length.
142
I think many people, especially from other cultures, just don’t understand the role hair plays in black women’s lives.
143
I think hair is one of the most beautiful things a woman has, it gives you confidence.
144
When I was at Babbo, I was covered in scars and scabs and burned bits – melted hair, ribbed burns I got reaching across the top of a hot skillet… I sliced off the tip of my finger. I cleaved my forehead – a deep, ugly wound. Luckily, it regenerated.
145
Too bad that all the people who know how to run the country are busy driving taxicabs and cutting hair.
146
Just because I’ve got blonde hair and haven’t been to Bosnia doesn’t mean I’m a bimbo. I am still a serious journalist.
147
When red-haired people are above a certain social grade their hair is auburn.
148
I don’t paint the town red. But when I do go out, people always want to touch my hair. It happens every time.
149
Inflation is when you pay fifteen dollars for the ten-dollar haircut you used to get for five dollars when you had hair.
150
I would love to continue in music, with writing… but I am not the kind of person who will hang around if I start to become irrelevant. If that happens, I will bow down gracefully, raise my kids, and have a garden. And I am going to let my hair go gray when I am older. I don’t need to be blonde when I’m 60!
151
When I talk about rock n’ roll, to me, that goes back to the beginning of the 1950s. Blue suede shoes and sideburns, man. Pink and black coloured clothes. Turn your collar up, comb your hair in ducktails. And the music was cool. It was a whole culture then – a different world.
152
I never actually got noticed on the street for ‘Harry Potter.’ I did it at such a young age, when I was going through puberty and changing up my hair and how I looked.
153
I was an extreme tomboy. I did competitive gymnastics for over 10 years. I cut my hair like Winona Ryder, with that little pixie cut.
154
Kevin Costner has feathers in his hair and feathers in his head. The Indians should have called him ‘Plays with Camera.’
155
I think that I’m, like, an introverted extrovert. At the end of the day, when I get done doing hair at the salon or shooting a day of ‘Queer Eye’ or whatever, I definitely want to come home and, like, order pasta and sit with my cat or just one person or no people.
156
I didn’t see how wearing prosthetics was quite so different from being born with flaming red hair in a crowd of black-haired babies, or being of a different religion from that of every other child in your area.
157
It was a reaction to when I was growing up, and women were supposed to be all blonde hair, gold suntan, and pink lips. It was a real black-and-white opposite of what was considered attractive. I was kicking against something I found really oppressive.
158
I keep my hair gray, so I like silver and platinum. For women who dye their hair, they can wear whatever they want.
159
Once upon a perfect night, unclouded and still, there came the face of a pale and beautiful lady. The tresses of her hair reached out to make the constellations, and the dewy vapours of her gown fell soft upon the land.
160
My mother had all these maxims – like, classy girls never chew gum, never read comic books, never get their ears pierced, never get their hair dyed.
161
My hair got lighter, and I gradually went blonde. I liked it. Had more fun. But my image of myself in my head is this dark-haired person.
162
People always want you to look pretty. I would like to live in the Midwest in a small town and never put makeup on. But they won’t let you do that. Once I went through a period when I did do that, wore no makeup, wore my hair any which way, and people looked at me like I was a bum.
163
Long hair doesn’t look good on me because my hair is fine.
164
There is a misconception that young Muslim women are oppressed. That simply isn’t the case. I choose to dress modestly and choose to cover my hair with a hijab; not all Muslim women make that choice, and that’s okay. We are all different!
165
I dyed my hair about 42 different colours, and kids can be pretty judgmental about people who are different. But instead of breaking down and conforming, I stood firm. That is also probably why I was unhappy.
166
I have this lock of hair that keeps falling across my forehead. It drives me mad.
167
I was the runt of my class. So I got away with the whole ‘Oh, he’s so cute’ thing. I was in upper division math courses, so I would have junior and senior girls in my class, and they’d just sit behind me and play with my hair. I didn’t mind that so much.
168
If you hear Anarchy in the UK today your hair stands on end. It gives you the shivers.
169
See I’m used to seeing myself with hair now, so it’s not a big deal. Now when I see pictures of me bald I’m like ‘ew.’ But people are used to seeing me bald so when I’m walking around without the hat on, I see people doing a lot of double takes.
170
I really fought to make my character not a stereotype. I play a soap star with dyed blonde hair.
171
My hair is such a statement that it’s like a neon sign asking for trouble.
172
The rhetoric on the Hill is getting very heated and it’s getting quite dangerous. The gun is at the head of the American economy and Congress is holding it and its got a hair trigger. We’ve got to pay our bills.
173
I used to have a sort of spiky haircut and it just feels better to have short hair again.
174
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.
175
I finally found the product that helps mend my damaged hair and prevent breakage. Avon’s Advance Techniques Damage Repair 3D Rescue Leave-In Treatment makes it look and feel healthier.
176
We lived by the water, and I was a pretty normal kid until my teenage years; then I dyed my hair pink and spiraled out of control.
177
So I begged, half way into season two, for them to let me cut my hair.
178
Like my makeup, I keep my hair simple. It’s either down or in a ponytail.
179
I’m not high maintenance, and I’m not into a highly manicured man. I don’t want to see a lot of hair product. If he’s too showy, that’s embarrassing to me – I wear makeup and take showers, but that’s basically it. I’m not trying to stand out too much.
180
It’s so easy to be insecure about your looks or if you’re wearing the right clothes, or your hair and makeup. And I think it’s just so important to stay true to who you are.
181
Islam’s not just about covering your hair. It’s about how you treat other people.
182
Normally, I’m a grumpy old man – whenever I read about celebrity, I start to grind my teeth and pull my hair; it seems synonymous with idiocy.

The only time I’m not Hulk Hogan is when I’m behind closed doors because as soon as I walk out the front door, and somebody says hello to me, I can’t just say ‘hello’ like Terry. When they see me, they see the blond hair, the mustache, and the bald head, they instantly think Hulk Hogan.
184
Haldeman is the only man in America in this generation who let his hair grow for a courtroom appearance.
185
The beautiful uncut hair of graves.
186
Puberty hit me pretty hard. All of a sudden, I woke up, and I had really curly hair.
187
I got rid of my glasses and they changed my hair. That’s really all they did. They went shopping for me, so the clothes are different too. It wasn’t like Extreme Makeover where I got a nose job or anything.
188
Flyaway, problem hair is the enemy of feminism, and was probably invented by the Man to crush Susan Sontag.
189
The 70’s hair with the long on the sides, just doesn’t look good coming down the sides of the helmet.
190
I hated Chris, my brother. I would pull his hair and kick him, until one day my father gave him permission to fight back. I’ll be apologizing to him for the rest of my life.
191
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.
192
I hate being mean. I watch those roasts on Comedy Central and they make the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
193
I felt like calling attention to AIDS. I had the AIDS ribbon colored into my hair during the playoffs in ’95.
194
I am Armenian, so of course I am obsessed with laser hair removal! Arms, bikini, legs, underarms… my entire body is hairless.
195
I’d love to have time to do my hair, honestly. I’d love to be Victoria Beckham just for one day – to look that good. But I can’t.
196
I grew up in a predominantly Caucasian community, and most of my friends had blonde hair and blue eyes. So I was always straightening my hair, wearing colored contacts, and I never tanned, if I could help it.
197
Nowadays, they have more trouble packing hair dryers than baseball equipment.
198
Anyone who knows me knows that I am really into hair. I’m a real girly girl and love doing my hair and experimenting with different styles.
199
I had good parents. Two older brothers, bit of a handful between us, all got ginger hair, a bit fiery. I remember a very happy childhood.
200
Oil your hair and take a head massage as often as possible for better blood circulation.
201
I grew up in Dallas, with cowboys. I was the only guy in sixth grade with long hair and an earring. Let’s just say I got a lot of, er, flak for being different.
202
I hated my big hair. I always wore it straight.
203
My signature dish – something I’ve been making since I was 10 – is angel hair pasta with shrimp and feta in a white-wine basil sauce with tomatoes, because it’s absolutely amazing.
204
I love my red hair. It makes me spunkier.
205
When I died my hair red the first time, I felt as if it was what nature intended. I have been accused of being a bit of a spitfire, so in that way, I absolutely live up to the stereotype. The red hair suits my personality. I was a terrible blonde!
206
One of my modeling bookers told me that the most important thing is to try to be vigilant about taking care of yourself. Get sleep, don’t be afraid to trim your hair even if you’re trying to grow it out, don’t bite your fingernails, and stay in shape. A lot of it is in the little things.
207
I am a bit of a fundamentalist when it comes to black women’s hair. Hair is hair – yet also about larger questions: self-acceptance, insecurity and what the world tells you is beautiful. For many black women, the idea of wearing their hair naturally is unbearable.
208
The name of my condition is Cartilage Hair Syndrome Hypoplasia, but you can just call me Billy.
209
The less concerned with aesthetics and usability these friends and family members are, the more easily they navigate sites and applications I can’t make head nor hair of. Like the ex-girlfriend who mastered Ebay.
210
Hygiene is important. You gotta smell good. So ladies, please spray some perfume. Hair gotta be done. You gotta look nice.
211
I’m a very outgoing person. I’m always happy, I’m one of those people who are always smiling. If somebody described me to somebody else, they’d say the kid with the curly hair with the big smile on his face. I get along with everybody.
212
I’m like a mad professor, but without the spiky hair.
213
It can be hard for the cute girl. I was blond, cute, broke. I was beat up. I was thrown inside lockers. I was burned with cigarettes. My hair was lit on fire.
214
I feel naked without jewelry. If I’m having a bad hair day, I pick something from my huge collection of hats.
215
People do give me a hard time about my hair because it’s orange and it’s big.
216
I’ve never thought of acting as rocket science – you put on the costume, get your hair cut, and that’s it, really.
217
If Edwards gained 60 pounds and lost all his hair, he’d look like Dick Cheney!
218
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.
219
I wish we did have responsibility for the hair. I have been screwed up by the hair on many occasions.
220
The Yankees have strict rules. You can have a mustache but no other facial hair.
221
I definitely believe in type casting. If you’re a girl with bleach-blonde hair, everyone automatically thinks ‘prom queen, cheerleader.’ It just happens.
222
If I hadn’t been a woman, I’d be a drag queen for sure. I like all that flair and I’d be dressing up in them high heels and putting on the big hair. I’d be like Ru Paul.
223
If your hair is relaxed, white people are relaxed. If your hair is nappy, they’re not happy.
224
In mainstream romantic comedies, I’m usually tearing my hair out. It’s just a devastatingly difficult genre for me.
225
The men and women cut their hair close round to the ears and eyes. The women, after the manner of the Parthians, cover their heads with a large white veil, folded together in the form of a crown.
226
Even if you throw your hair up in a quick topknot or ponytail, you can add instant polish by wearing a headband or bejeweled barrette.
227
Although skin color is undoubtedly the most salient signal of racial identity in America, other actual or imagined bodily features have also been seen as distinctive markers of Negritude. These include the shapes of heads, feet, lips, and noses as well as the texture of hair.
228
Both my parents worked at the Madam C.J. Walker Manufacturing Company, with my dad eventually being hired by another company called Summit Laboratories that made chemical hair straighteners.
229
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.
230
If you don’t physically age gracefully, it’s a bit sad. I think Steven Tyler can get away anything, because he still looks like he did in ’73. Especially from row Z backwards in an arena. As long as the Stones keep their hair and don’t get fat they’ll get away with the wrinkles.
231
When I portray Stabler, I have to shave every day and cut my hair every week! And then, I really like to change my looks for films like ‘Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle’ where I have the pleasure of playing the ugliest man in the world.
232
I have no hips, and I feel like my body’s like a teenage boy’s. But I can have the hair long, put on makeup, wear a dress, and do the exact opposite as well.
233
When I was growing up, I always thought my hair was messy.
234
I know I’m fat and I know my hair is straight, but I can sing.
235
Youth is not restored by the dyeing of your hair.
236
When I cut my hair, the whole sound changed, my style changed.
237
A hair in the head is worth two in the brush.
238
I’ve done everything from cater, wait tables, pre-school teacher, painting, to being Cinderella, Elmo, a clown, nanny, selling hair… I would do kid’s parties and entertain and do magic and paint faces and balloon animals. The highlight of my life.
239
I turned my hair dark and have received much better parts ever since.
240
I studied voice for three months to get rid of my English accent. I changed my hair to blonde. I knew I could be sexy if I had to.
241
My natural hair is jet black. I used to have it down to my bum. And I went through a phase of being obsessed with fake tan. So from the age of 14 to 16, I looked like an Apache Indian!
242
I don’t think I could live without hair, makeup and styling, let alone be the performer I am. I am a glamour girl through and through. I believe in the glamorous life and I live one.
243
I never really liked my short hair; it never occurred to me that people would want it.
244
I’m a multidimensional person and that’s the freedom of fashion: that you’re able to reinvent yourself through how you dress and how you cut your hair or whatever.
245
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.
246
Blonde is dumb comedy, red hair is smart, sexy comedy.
247
I had an idea for a story about a young woman who was living with people who were different, not just superficially different – such as hair colour, or eye colour, or skin colour – but different in some significant way.
248
When I was 10, I had dyed red hair, and I used to paint my nails – I think my mum secretly loved it.
249
I didn’t figure out the makeup or cute hair or clothes until oh, maybe my junior year of high school.
250
Many of us think in terms in parental determinism: ‘If I push all the right buttons my kids are going to turn out OK.’ I want to instill in myself and my people a wonderful dose, not of carelessness, but of God’s sovereignty. He knows the hairs on your kids’ heads.
251
I love the smell of shampoo on a girl’s hair. You can walk past someone and be like, ‘Wow, you took a shower this morning, didn’t you? Because you smell lovely.’
252
Most good roles are written for young men. We are fixated on youth. So however much people say there is nothing wrong with being bald, the reality is once the hair is gone, you might not get the parts.
253
I use Redken color on my hair and use mild shampoos that don’t strip your hair of color. If I need to, I’ll use a good colored mousse in between.
254
I use Pureology Shampoo and Conditioner, and after shampooing, I’ll put the conditioner on, go watch a movie, and wash it out later. When you have black girl hair, once we wash, we’ve gotta do the whole press and get in the edges and everything. That’s a lot of heat to go back to straight on a daily basis.
255
It’s cool to be nervous, and how the nerves come out sideways. That’s why some actors scream their heads off, or it comes out in their hair.
256
I really hate my hair when it’s not braided because it’s so big when it dries. When it’s wet, it looks cool, but when it dries, it gets all in my mouth during a match, and I hate it.
257
It is not white hair that engenders wisdom.
258
I hate tricky facial hair. If your facial hair is too spotty in places, shave. Just forget about it.
259
My hair journey has been lots of fun. I have always loved wigs and pieces, so I am never tied down to one style.
260
The Labour party has, from the beginning, been made up of diverse factions; that’s its beauty – asking it to become cohesive is like trying to find one shampoo that will care for the hair of everybody in Angelina Jolie’s house.
261
I wish my hair was thicker, and I wish my feet were prettier. My toes are really ugly. I wish my ears were smaller. And my nose could be smaller too.
262
Whenever someone says something to me like ‘Oh, another blonde at ESPN,’ I would like to crunch the numbers. First, I think we have more brunettes than blondes. And second, there are only three normal hair colors. You’re either a redhead, brunette, or blonde. It’s really not that complicated.
263
The rich are different. Their wants are very high maintenance. They’ll pick eye color and hair color, all the way down to what she does for a living, what school she went to. Their list can be extremely long. But at the end of the day, dating is dating, because they’re human beings.
264
I like my hair long, and I love my bangs. I love them because I can pin them back or keep the fringe with attitude.
265
True love is eternal, infinite, and always like itself. It is equal and pure, without violent demonstrations: it is seen with white hairs and is always young in the heart.
266
I guess you should approach the roles differently when they’re actual people who have been, this is the difference. Getting the accent exact, or the hair exact is less important in a situation like this.
267
Old age is far more than white hair, wrinkles, the feeling that it is too late and the game finished, that the stage belongs to the rising generations. The true evil is not the weakening of the body, but the indifference of the soul.
268
You see the hair and the clothes, I look flamboyant. But I’m not the guy with the lake house and the boat. I don’t own a home, or a plane. Really, all I want in life is beer in the fridge and a hot rod.
269
Whoopi Goldberg looked like me, she had hair like mine, she was dark like me. I’d been starved for images of myself. I’d grown up watching a lot of American TV. There was very little Kenyan material, because we had an autocratic ruler who stifled our creative expression.
270
Truth is, I cut my hair for freedom, not for beauty.
271
When I was younger, I went through a phase when I didn’t like my hair. Because the school I went to was primarily Caucasian, there wasn’t anyone who had my hair texture. I remember one day I straightened my hair, and that was the first day that people gave me compliments on it.
272
Old age is far more than white hair, wrinkles, the feeling that it is too late and the game finished, that the stage belongs to the rising generations. The true evil is not the weakening of the body, but the indifference of the soul.
273
I have very short hair. It’s the only cute haircut I think I’ve ever had.
274
It was tough for him in that newsroom with Ted Baxter getting all the glory and this poor guy doing all the work. Murray worried so much he worried his hair off!
275
I am a very ginger-coloured person, but I don’t have orange hair.
276
Some people have strong opinions about women with short hair. They find it very masculine and severe. Others think it’s soft and feminine and makes your features stand out. It can be an Audrey Hepburn kind of thing.
277
I had a really good time in New Orleans, although I had some very tragic times in Baton Rouge. Some guys beat me up and threw my horn away. ‘Cause I had a beard, then, and long hair like the Beatles.
278
I wore a cloak for many years, I had long hair, I may have had a drop earring for a week and I fancied myself as a philosopher poet but was somewhere more in the gay female leisure pirate.
279
People think because they sweat, their hair is dirty. False. It’s just salt and your natural oil.
280
I have been dyeing my hair since I was, like, 2.
281
It’s beautiful when someone can carry her own hair and body and curves and bumps.
282
Don’t let the Disney princess hair fool you.
283
Many years ago, I concluded that a few hair shirts were part of the mental wardrobe of every man. The president differs from other men in that he has a more extensive wardrobe.
284
Someone once asked me, ‘How long does it take to do your hair.’ I said, ‘I don’t know, I’m never there.’
285
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!
286
I can’t imagine going back to long hair. Cutting it was the greatest thing I ever did.
287
I can’t bear looking in the mirror – I guess that’s why my hair looks like this.
288
I remember when I was a child… walking into the woods by myself and feeling the solitude around me build like electricity and pass through my body with a jolt that made my hair prickle.
289
Sometimes, growing up, I tried to be very Latina; I would change my voice… experiment with my hair a lot, trying to figure out who I was in a primarily white school.
290
Every day, my mom and I would watch a different Judy Garland VHS. I love how she tells a story when she sings. It was just about her voice and the words she was singing – no strings attached or silly hair or costumes, just a woman singing her heart out. I feel like that doesn’t happen that much anymore.
291
One of my favorite episodes was the one in which Homer grew hair. That was a very unique episode, since there was a gay secretary, but that wasn’t even the issue of the show-the issue was Homer’s image changing because he had hair.
292
I like to go swimming, and I like salty hair.
293
At the end of the day, stick up for yourself whether you have spiky hair, long hair, blonde hair, black hair, whatever it is, stick up for yourself and go for your dreams because at the end of the day, you can pretty much accomplish anything if you put your mind to it.
294
I say never trust a man who combs his hair so as to cover his shiny dome and then flaunts a wife young enough to be his daughter. Oh, Trump has issues all right.
295
I guess I’ve maintained my hair. I’m like a Donald Trump. I have a good, solid head of hair, and that’s been my trademark all these years.
296
The actor in me would always like to be more dashing, or slimmer, or have nicer hair.
297
You mean the fact that Tom Arnold would spend more time with the hair and makeup people than I would?
298
I dye my hair, and I use teeth whitening strips. Unless I burnt myself or damaged my skin, I wouldn’t have cosmetic surgery.
299
You know us crazy kids. We’ll do anything crazy to our hair.
300
Seriously, it takes me, like, 30 minutes to do my hair before a game.
301
I’m proud of my short hair. I don’t think I will grow it long again.
302
All a woman needs is a good bath, clean clothes, and for her hair to be combed. These things she can do herself. I very seldom go to the hairdresser, but when I do, I just marvel.
303
Vitiligo is just another difference, like freckles, big hair, tiny ears Everyone has differences.
304
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.
305
I’ve never been cool and I don’t really care about being cool. It’s just an awful lot of time and hair gel wasted.
306
Curly hair is not just a hairstyle: it’s kind of a lifestyle. There is something really free and careless about it and loose and kind of naughty. I love it.
307
I have plenty of invitations to go places, lots to do. If I’m not working, I go to have my hair taken care of and work at needlepoint.
308
I’ve been burn when it comes to my hair that it ain’t no joke.
309
I’m in fact a hair under six feet, but I’m very svelte. People would never see me if I turned sideways.
310
Every president, if you watch what they look like when they come into office, you can see their hair turn white because it’s such a hard job.
311
I get a much more extreme reaction when I have my hair really short. I look thuggish when I shave my head and wear big boots. I walk into a newsagent and people think I’m going to jump the counter. It’s a much more extreme reaction.
312
I have crazy eyebrows, so it’s crucial to tame them. Just like your hair, they set off your features.
313
People don’t associate red hair, pale skin, and freckles with beauty.
314
The largest room in the world is room for improvement. You know, some mornings my thighs are fat. Some days my hair looks great. That’s the human condition.
315
I don’t remember the exact moment I fell in love with snowboarding; it wasn’t something cheesy like, ‘Oh the wind was blowing through my hair and I just knew this sport was for me… ‘ I was good at it, and it’s exhilarating!
316
It’s not the hair on your head that matters. It’s the kind of hair you have inside.
317
I had heard before that there were rumors I was gay. It’s funny. My cousin gets his hair cut at this place, and one of the guys there told him that Scott Wolf was gay. He didn’t realize that he was my cousin.
318
Old age adds to the respect due to virtue, but it takes nothing from the contempt inspired by vice; it whitens only the hair.
319
I love paying people to touch me. Nail techs, hair stylists, dermatologists, make-up artists, osteopaths: you name it, I love it.
320
I know that I’ve got big ears and a big forehead and that my hair sticks up. But I’m happy with myself. I’m not necessarily trying to win a beauty pageant here.
321
Madame Walker was one of the four iconic women who really created what’s now the modern hair-care and cosmetics industry, and we know about her in the black community because everybody gets their hair done.
322
You forget how many people watch TV until you come into a town like this. Everybody knows you, and I’m always humbled, especially when there are 500 little kids who all have their hair done like yours and want to be designers.
323
Long hair is a security blanket for me. I cut it short a few years ago and I really never want to do that again. When I do cut it, I cut it myself.
324
I’m a guy’s guy. I don’t comb my hair unless I have to, and I don’t use lotions or fancy shampoos.
325
When I first sat down with my oncologist the day before Thanksgiving, and she told me I would need 8 rounds of chemo, one of my first questions admittedly was: ‘Will I lose my hair?’ It sounds shallow, I know, but it was a very scary image to me.
326
So when I got to 50 I just thought, Hold on: I’m thin. I’ve got my hair. I’m well off. I survived, you know.
327
If I think I weigh too much, I’ll lose weight; if my hair looks stupid, I’ll cut it. I guess I’m my harshest critic. I’m not easily satisfied.
328
Costume, hair and makeup can tell you instantly, or at least give you a larger perception of who a character is. It’s the first impression that you have of the character before they open their mouth, so it really does establish who they are.
329
I don’t wash my hair.
330
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.
331
I’d like to kiss ya, but I just washed my hair.
332
A lot of people knew at the national tournaments that I was a big puncher. We were known as ‘Samson,’ the boy with the long hair.
333
I wanted it to be back to a state where it felt like it was thriving, so I think that my hair’s happiest natural, and there’s that hairstyle for everyone where you feel like, ‘My hair is agreeing with this,’ so I just cut it off recently again, and I’m going back natural.
334
I’m a big woman. I need big hair.
335
I had beautiful wavy hair and a waxed mustache.
336
He may have hair upon his chest but, sister, so has Lassie.
337
I had short hair for a while, but I ended up loving it.
338
To be completely stripped bare of any image power or my hair. To step onstage and get the response that I got blew any problems I had about self-image out the door.
339
Nature is one great big wood-chipper. Sooner or later, everything shoots out the other end in a spray of blood, bones and hair.
340
Keep it simple. I usually have my hair up in a ballet bun and a great pair of sunglasses for when I’m on the go. On vacation, all you need is a sexy dress and great perfume, paired with a gorgeous red lip.
341
To me hair dressing means shape. It’s very important that the foundations should be right.
342
Each State has its own health insurance mandates, and some of them are good, but there are about 1,800 of them all across the Nation, including provisions for acupuncturists, massage therapists, and hair replacements.
343
I used to comb my hair back and do stupid stuff.
344
We are often told we can’t have brains and beauty, and I really hope that my message is that you can put on that red lip and curl your hair and put on that power dress – you don’t have to sacrifice one for the other.
345
I have always held myself out as a hair culturist. I grow hair.
346
I always had the facial hair so I looked older than I was.
347
So one day, in a fit of trying to do something different, I just dyed my hair dark brown and got my first role a week later, after which I thought: ‘People are closed-minded, man! Like a different hair colour changes everything!’
348
Yes, I have four children. Four children with whom I spend a good part of every day: bathing them, combing their hair, sitting with them while they do their homework, holding them while they weep their tragic tears. But I’m not in love with any of them. I am in love with my husband.
349
When I was a kid, I wanted a Chanel bob and bangs. My mom said no. I went to the salon anyway, and they said, ‘No way – we are not going to do that to your hair.’ So I did it myself. Big mistake. Instead of my bangs going down straight, they were sticking up like a cat. It was horrible.
350
A good hair day is when my curls are popping. Sometimes my curls and waves, they like to go a little wild sometimes. They have a mind of their own. But some days, they just fall right into place.
351
I enjoy makeup and having someone who does my hair. What female wouldn’t?
352
I shaved my head about 15 years ago and the first time I shaved it, I started running my hand through my hair and it was very therapeutic.
353
Hopes are like hair ornaments. Girls want to wear too many of them. When they become old women they look silly wearing even one.
354
I never want to get a job because I’m female. I want to get it because I earned it and I deserve it… Whether my hair is going to be blue or purple, people should be judged on how well they do the job and deliver results and whether they do it the right way. That’s how I like to be judged; most people are like that.
355
The right moment wears a full head of hair: when it has been missed, you can’t get it back; it’s bald in the back of the head and never turns around.
356
I don’t like to do much with my hair – which is good, because I don’t know how! I just always make sure I have a great haircut.
357
In high school, I was so painfully self-aware that how I thought of myself was probably very different from what other people thought of me. I thought of myself as just painfully awkward and dorky. I had a lot of hair and was kind of weird. I sang a lot in the hallways.
358
There are a couple of things that I’m sure people don’t think are important, but I do. I don’t like hair changes unless there’s a reason for it. Clothing – I don’t like to see an outfit worn more than one time in an hour – you can wear it again a few weeks later.
359
When I was 16, I was watching ‘101 Dalmatians,’ and my mom never let me bleach my hair, so I told her I was going to dye my hair like Cruella De Vil; she didn’t believe me. I came home with my hair like this, and she didn’t talk to me for, like, a week. It was really hilarious.
360
I have a better head of hair than Rick Perry; it’s just not in a place I can show you.
361
So, I’m going to go over on Angel. Joss is just going to find a way to keep me bleaching my hair, which is fine.
362
I got a bike when I was little, a BMX. I called it ‘Fido Dido’ after the tough little cartoon guy with spiked hair. I thought he was the coolest thing ever.
363
I’m really an outdoorsy girl. People think I can’t go anywhere without getting all primped up, but I love to go camping, and I’m totally fine with not doing my hair or makeup, not taking a shower and just hiking.
364
I think I look really weird with short hair. So I figured if I’ve got a mustache, I think it looks less creepy with long hair. Like a wild look.
365
Call me old-fashioned, but armpit hair is not high up there on my wish list of things to have.
366
When their city was occupied by the Gauls, and the Romans, who were besieged in the Capitol, had made military engines from the hair of the women, they dedicated a temple to the Bald Venus.

I remember when I got into Juilliard – which was just crazy to me, that I would be studying at a school like that – the choice to cut all my hair off was really symbolic for me.
368
On stage, you can get away with more, so I definitely use that to my advantage and go bolder with fashion, hair, and makeup. I love a smoky eye and long lashes.
369
I cut my hair. I did that. That wasn’t a good decision.
370
If I had my way, I wouldn’t be sharing my personal life online. I’m a private person. At home, I don’t wander around shirtless, flexing my muscles. I roam around unshaven, with my hair disheveled. Unfortunately, people perceive you differently. It’s okay; they’re free to speculate.
371
I just wanted a change. My hair started hurting my back, so I went to my hairdresser and said ‘Take it off.’ And I’m delighted with the results.
372
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.
373
I like wet hair and sweatpants. I like sneakers and ponytails.
374
When I first began modeling, I was very conventional looking. I had hair down to my waist in a side parting – almost church-like. But beneath the sheath of hair lay this Amazonian, strong-looking frame.
375
Here’s my definition of a great beach read – a fabulous story that sucks me in like a black hole and when it’s over, it jettisons my bones across the galaxy with a hair on fire mission to convince everyone I know that they must read that book or they will die.
376
People nag me about my weight, my cooking, my tattoos, my hair, my sexuality, everything. I can deal with all that because I’m still doing my job and I kind of like myself.
377
It is foolish to tear one’s hair in grief, as though sorrow would be made less by baldness.
378
Ultimately, when you’re out on track with your helmet on, nobody can see the driver. Nobody can judge you on what you look like if your hair is long or short, if you’re black or you’re white, if you’re male or female. All that matters is your performance.
379
I’m always trying to push the envelope and go with a different hairstyle that you’re not going to see on anybody else. I have a really good grade of hair, and I can do a lot of different things with it.
380
I would miss months of school and then return with bright blond hair. Needless to say, there was bullying. I wasn’t beaten up daily, but there was name-calling and jealousy. You have to bear in mind that ‘Harry Potter’ wasn’t cool. I wasn’t part of the ‘Terminator’ franchise.
381
I don’t wear dresses and flowers in my hair and float around!
382
I grew up in a world where a woman who looks like me, with my kind of skin and my kind of hair, was never considered to be beautiful.
383
Bleaching my hair for Two Moon Junction… my hair was fried and I looked like an idiot.
384
I love changing hair color. I love doing hair shape. I love the social aspect of salons. I love clients, and because of doing hair, I’ve heard so many life stories.
385
Having Black hair is unique in that Black women change up styles a lot. You can walk down one street block in New York City and see 10 different hairstyles that Black women are wearing: straight curls, short cuts, braids – we really run the gamut.
386
I love my job. But I like to have fun at work. So I don’t get finicky if one strand of hair is standing out in a shot. I don’t get finicky about broken nails. I don’t let small things affect me. I’m not perfect. Nobody is. There’s no fun in being perfect. I enjoy my work; there’s no pressure on me.
387
I laugh about it all the time, but, for whatever reason, a lot of people think that I wear a wig. I get emails and tweets about people commenting on my hair being a wig. It’s one of the strangest but most entertaining things I’ve read about myself online.
388
It’s funny, when you have a theme so particular to cows – or it could be anything like hair or nails – when you’re rapping about a specific thing, you can have more punchlines about it.
389
I used to lie between cool, clean sheets at night after I’d had a bath, after I had washed my hair and scrubbed my knuckles and finger-nails and teeth. Then I could lie quite still in the dark with my face to the window with the trees in it, and talk to God.
390
Yes, exercise is the catalyst. That’s what makes everything happen: your digestion, your elimination, your sex life, your skin, hair, everything about you depends on circulation. And how do you increase circulation?
391
I’ve always liked long hair. My dad’s always had long hair, but he always tells me, ‘I never had it in a ponytail.’ And I say to him, ‘You weren’t an England goalie either, were ya.’
392
Even before I came out, looking at me, I’ve probably looked a little gay. I had short hair, and, you know, it wasn’t a huge surprise to people. But some athletes have this image to uphold and may feel like sponsors won’t want them if they’re gay.
393
I want the great masses of my people to take a greater pride in their appearance and to give their hair proper attention.
394
Never having played Chess before, it was most interesting to be playing the game with no pieces in front of me. But I still knew how to stroke my hair when I won.
395
I do know that people treat me different with blonde hair than they do with red hair.
396
I have no qualms in going for hair weaving or transplant.
397
My long hair and the sideburns made me stand out, really, because my hairstyle was completely different to the other footballers of that era.
398
In France, successive waves of Gaul, Visigoth, and Frank have swept over the land and have dominated it. But the fair hair and blue eyes and the clear skin of the conquering races have been submerged by the rising and overflow of the dusky blood of the original population.
399
Anyone who says you can’t do anything with short hair is wrong! Every day, my style turns into something new, and there are so many different ways you can wear it.
400
I’ve been going bald since I was about 17. I’m still hanging on to my hair for dear life, but I do sometimes wonder – should I get a wig?
401
People are obsessed with my haircut; everyone wants to do something with my hair before the ceremony. Very senior figures tell me their hairstylist wants to do my hair for free. It’s surprising. People from television are interested almost exclusively in aspects of my hair and my hairdresser.
402
I don’t work with a stylist, I don’t work with a glam squad to get me together for the red carpet, I really enjoy the time it takes to do it myself, to choose my clothes and do my own makeup and my own hair.
403
I don’t know, so much of women’s femininity is tied up with their hair.
404
My special thing as a kid was to play dead because I thought I was really good at it. When I was 7 or 8, I even did it in the bathroom with a hair dryer in the bathtub. I realized that I was good at it because each time my mom would scream.
405
If you want to change your hair colour or your nail colour or things like that its fine, but you have to realize the dangers and repercussions of surgery.
406
There are no captions on red-carpet photos that say, ‘This girl trained for two weeks, she went on a juice diet, she has a professional hair and makeup person, and this dress was made for her.’ I just wish they’d say, ‘It ain’t the truth.’
407
My hair is normally really unkempt – I’ll just use my sunglasses like a headband or throw on a felt cloche by Behida Dolic in windy weather.
408
From my hair to my toes to my nails. Everything’s fake. Everything! Even my heart is fake.
409
A ponytail or a chignon makes me feel very beautiful and sensual. I feel like I can be more myself that way – I can move and talk without worrying about the hair.
410
My teeth are all right, but they are not American teeth, and my hair is not thick and luscious. Los Angeles is dense with beautiful people, and most of the men who are aspiring actors are 5ft 5in, so I tower above them.
411
Beautiful updos with natural hair are great!
412
I look fine. I’ve had no surgery apart from an operation I had decades ago to remove the fat under my eyes. My mum looked 30 when she was 60, so I guess I owe it all to genes and hair dye.
413
I do maintain that if your hair is wrong, your entire life is wrong.
414
I paint German artists whom I admire. I paint their pictures, their work as painters, and their portraits too. But oddly enough, each of these portraits ends up as a picture of a woman with blonde hair. I myself have never been able to work out why this happens.
415
I’d have to say that, in general, models take themselves too seriously. Basically, they are genetic freaks who spend a couple of hours in hair and makeup.
416
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.
417
I was getting frustrated with America. It’s interesting how as simple a thing as, like, letting your hair grow longer changed in the world in those days.
418
I’m not a natural redhead, but I enjoy having red hair.
419
I grew up in the Bible Belt and I made my own clothes and dyed my hair purple. Nobody ever knew what to do with me.
420
We all fall in love with someone for the person they are – not because of their race, their hair, or any of the frivolous things that go away in time.
421
I’ve dated some women who have turned me on to some funny things that are strange for men to actually do, but these things have become part of my process. I think the things I do for my appearance help make me look better. I even colour my hair because I like how it makes me look.
422
People would ask, ‘Why is your vocal cord paralyzed?’ I said it was a virus. I didn’t say it was an elective procedure to add hair to the front of my head. It was embarrassing. There’s an embarrassing element to that.
423
Actresses generally aren’t allowed to have haircuts, because short hair isn’t considered as versatile.
424
I don’t really like dressing up. Some people probably think actresses dress up everywhere they go. I’m in sweatpants half the time with my hair in a ponytail.
425
It’s going to take me less time to wreck Ben Shapiro than it took me to curl my hair.
426
Men’s fame is like their hair, which grows after they are dead, and with just as little use to them.
427
I grew up with low self-esteem. I didn’t think I was very pretty. I had glasses, red hair and was generally quite a spod.
428
I don’t like facial hair, and I don’t like kissing facial hair, as you cant find the lips.
429
When you cut your hair, everybody thinks you lost weight.
430
If I wash my hair in the morning, then I usually air-dry it. In warmer weather, if I walk my dog, by the time I am back in, it is usually nice and dry!
431
If I look in the mirror when I get up or before going to bed at night, I see a man of average ugliness with stubble, an unruly mane of hair, a squint nose, slightly protruding ears, and bags under my eyes. But I also see a man who’s completely happy with the figure staring back at him.
432
To shoot a movie that takes place in three decades in 30 days is a lot on the hair and make-up team.
433
I’m very low maintenance. I use Simple wipes to take off my makeup, wash my hair with whatever’s in the shower.
434
I cut off my dreadlocks, but I couldn’t face throwing them away. They were so hard to grow, man. There’s a lot of work goes into those things. Some people keep a diary or a photo album to remind them of their past lives – well, I’ve got hair. Who knows? One day, maybe my grandchildren might want to see it.
435
I love my grey hair and wrinkles. I love the fact that my face has more of an edge and more character than it did when I was in my twenties and thirties. No Botox for me.
436
I’m from Oklahoma. I mean, you can’t have good hair in Oklahoma. That’s why everyone wears hats. The wind just messes it up.
437
Being in front of a camera, in a nice dress, getting all dressed up, is extreme. There’s a lot of other extreme situations, you know, just getting out of bed sometimes is extreme – but I do it. Just got to do it, just got to get up. Put your sweatpants on, brush off the dog hair and just get out of the house!
438
Since I have fair skin, I have to stay out of the sun. I can’t stand the sun. I dyed my hair red for a while during the 1990s but I’m actually a natural blonde.
439
I’m a dark blonde, yes. I dyed my hair blue, then black, when I was 14. I thought the colour was more flattering and matched my skin tone. I don’t think I’d ever change back unless it was for a film.
440
When I was a teenager, I was fat. I was shy. I wore glasses. I had a big eyebrow and hair all over my body. They were years of torture.
441
Maybe it’s the hair. Maybe it’s the teeth. Maybe it’s the intellect. No, it’s the hair.
442
Driving a car is no longer about zooming down clear lanes, the joy and freedom of the road flowing through your hair like a fine westerly breeze. It’s about solid traffic, petrol fumes, spy cameras, eco-guilt, and simultaneous social media.
443
It was in the ’80s, so I guess big hair and high bangs. And I had so many gummy bracelets! While we were doing ‘Full House,’ we were like, ‘You know, in 10 years, we’re going to look back on this and think this is horrible.’ But everyone looked like that!
444
It’s very hard to be a kid, especially in a predominantly white school or white town where other people want to police your body and hair.
445
They kept me in short pants as long as they could, until they were shaving the hair on my legs because it was beginning to photograph.
446
When a woman isn’t beautiful, people always say, ‘You have lovely eyes, you have lovely hair.’
447
I looked at the photos at the VMAs and my hair was the most. That was a time when we were the most extreme – like, I totally looked like Cher. And it always took, like, two bottles of hairspray every morning. Yeah, we’ve definitely changed a lot. But I love that we have that history, and I enjoy looking back.
448
I’m Brian a lot more than I’m Paul Walker, which is awesome. When I hear, ‘Hey Paul Walker!’ my hair stands up on the back of my neck. It’s uncomfortable. But when I hear, ‘It’s Brian!’ it’s cool. I like Brian.
449
I was a suburban kid who fancied myself somehow intellectual. I was into punk rock but I couldn’t get into the subcultural signifiers of dyed hair, safety pins and torn denim. Being a punk seemed like a new set of rules that I wasn’t interested in having to follow.
450
It took us a lot of man hours to get that bloody white hair out, so it’s good to get rid of it.
451
You can beat me up, but don’t touch my hair, I will kill you!
452
With Millais’s paintings, it’s microscopic; when he does hair, it’s extraordinary: you can see every strand.
453
I remember when ‘Grease’ came out, I used to force my mum to try and grease my hair back, and it was never long enough, and literally I’d be screaming at her, ‘Do it. Just do it!’.
454
The first time I wore a head scarf, I was 16. I looked and felt like a nun. I missed the wind in my hair. For me, it was not a comfortable thing to wear.
455
I guess if I wrote a book one day, it would be about hair.
456
Wearing your hair natural is a positive statement about who you are. It’s not a protest to somebody else. It’s affirming you.
457
If you look over the years, the styles have changed – the clothes, the hair, the production, the approach to the songs. The icing to the cake has changed flavors. But if you really look at the cake itself, it’s really the same.
458
I need to see my own beauty and to continue to be reminded that I am enough, that I am worthy of love without effort, that I am beautiful, that the texture of my hair and that the shape of my curves, the size of my lips, the color of my skin, and the feelings that I have are all worthy and okay.
459
I got very lucky with ‘Harry Potter.’ I got that role because I’m a ginger! Red hair was my only qualification!
460
On my own I generally have very messy hair, wear jeans and sneakers.
461
When I was 12, every little girl in Russia was trying to wear her hair like mine and playing tennis.
462
I refresh Twitter as thoughtlessly as some twirl their hair.
463
I think the sophomore curse happens when you change every bit of yourself. Though my hair is blonde now, sonically it’s still the same girl; conceptually it’s still the same girl.
464
I wasn’t making it with the violin because I was playing all of the ‘long hair’ stuff.
465
People that are 40, they don’t sit around at talk about gray hair and how it covers their hair. They talk about highlighting, of course they’re covering gray, but they don’t talk about it that way. They’re going to get their colors because they need a little lightening.
466
One of my mantras is, ‘Embrace what makes you unique, even if it makes others uncomfortable.’ I keep that with me in my back pocket. Shoot, I keep it in my front pocket! I keep it in my hair.
467
If you want your hair to be thicker, cut it when the moon is about to be full – a heavy, full, waxing moon. Do not cut it when the moon’s waning.
468
To me, Ann Romney sounds like a better candidate than her husband. She put her MS into remission through horseback riding, alternative therapies, and a healthy diet. She knows how to pace herself. She has a sense of humor and an innate honesty, and her hair moves in the wind. Maybe she should run.
469
One of the very few things that I do every single day is put on fragrance. If I’m not wearing make-up, if my hair’s not done, if I’m walking around in pyjamas – I still put my fragrance on. I will brush my teeth and put on my perfume.
470
People often ask how my hair has that supreme fullness even at midnight. Here’s a trick that one of our Fox News stylists taught me: Backcomb your hair just at the crown for height, and then put a large velcro roller there and wear it for as long as you can. I keep rollers in until showtime.
471
The woman with dark hair, wide hips, and a few extra pounds has always been the essence of beauty in Morocco.
472
We have defined these characters – people always expect to see me in a pencil skirt. When they see me out of one – much like when they see Jon Hamm’s hair when it isn’t slick – they say, ‘Wait a minute, you’re all 2010!’
473
I don’t have much choice these days in how I have my hair.
474
So many actors are lively-minded, creative people who just tread water in this awful way, waiting for the phone to ring and doing their hair for auditions. It feels like a bit of a dreamer’s life – as opposed to a sensible ventriloquist’s life.
475
In our society, women are valued for their sexual attraction. I’d like to get away from the sex symbol idea of what beauty is. Actually, that’s probably the farthest thing from beauty, because it’s makeup and hair, it’s pouty lips – it’s not real.
476
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?
477
I like talking. I didn’t know at the time I would have to worry so much about my hair.
478
I was roundly criticized for being in and around rock & roll music at its inception. It was the devil’s music: it would make your teeth fall out and your hair turn blue, whatever the hell. You get through that.
479
Sisters are always drying their hair. Locked into rooms, alone, they pose at the mirror, shoulders bare, trying this way and that their hair, or fly importunate down the stair to answer the telephone.
480
I was brutally bullied in school. I had short hair and buck teeth and kids would call out to me in the most nasty ways possible.
481
I don’t like to spend a lot of money on haircuts: I’ll sometimes grow my hair and get an acting job and get them to cut it for free. I think for a lady, though, it’s okay to spend a lot on a haircut.
482
First, I eat healthy; it comes from the inside out. If you eat right, your skin, hair, nails will look good. The same if you have negative thoughts – they can give you a bad look, too; we reflect what we eat and think. We also taste and smell what we eat. Being happy and doing what I love really reflects.
483
Gray hair is God’s graffiti.
484
Mum and Dad paid me 50 pence, which was a lot of money when I was 8 years old, not to dye my hair.
485
If truth is beauty, how come no one has their hair done in the library?
486
Gray hairs are signs of wisdom if you hold your tongue, speak and they are but hairs, as in the young.
487
I have crazy, curly, big hair, so,if I have time to try to make myself look presentable, I usually spend it doing my hair.
488
I don’t wash my hair every day, which may sound gross, but it’s actually really bad for my hair.
489
By common consent gray hairs are a crown of glory; the only object of respect that can never excite envy.
490
As far as clothes are concerned, for the day, wear something chic: a good pair of jeans, crop, and open hair with a bright lip colour. For an evening, a nice pair of high-waisted trousers and a nice blouse looks great.
491
Hair is a huge part of who I am and what I obsess over – I’ve had long hair my entire life.
492
The Beatles set the rules. And the rules were: now just because we have long hair doesn’t mean that we’re rebellious.
493
Behind every small business, there’s a story worth knowing. All the corner shops in our towns and cities, the restaurants, cleaners, gyms, hair salons, hardware stores – these didn’t come out of nowhere.
494
The short hair fits my personality more. I think maybe, with long hair, it was a role – I was playing dress-up a bit.
495
But, you know, the Stones were my opening act in the Sixties. I loved those British guys, the way they just stood there and shook their hair.
496
I really like wearing earrings but when I had short hair I never used to.
497
One day, I’ll be a crazy old lady with long rainbow hair living in the woods. I will have a rad tree house with tons of rooms for people to come over, recharge, and make art.
498
I used to be teased for the way I wore my hair at school. I used to do things like wear a different-colored sock on each leg.
499
On TV people look at your hair and then they look at your skin, and then they look at your clothes, and by the time they’re listening to what you’re saying, you’re off the screen.
500
I am Armenian, so of course I am obsessed with laser hair removal! Arms, bikini, legs, underarms… my entire body is hairless.
501
I have short hair. It doesn’t make me more unattractive than a woman or my sisters that have more longer hair and a bit lighter.
502
I used to have really long hair. It was a big fro with mad curls.
503
I love the feeling of the fresh air on my face and the wind blowing through my hair.
504
It’s hard to have a bad hair day when you’re famous.
505
I would wear flamboyant clothes and long hair, and most singers at the time didn’t.
506
My natural color is dark blond, but right now I like being a brunette. I did a movie last summer and they dyed my hair platinum – I hated it.
507
Why should Americans go on with their lives as normal, worrying about calories and hair loss, while other people are worrying about where they are going to get their next piece of bread?
508
Natural hair is just my personal preference.
509
Beauty is about perception, not about make-up. I think the beginning of all beauty is knowing and liking oneself. You can’t put on make-up, or dress yourself, or do you hair with any sort of fun or joy if you’re doing it from a position of correction.
510
It’s sad to be constantly judged for every move you make after your first success. If you wear your hair differently, you have changed.
511
My real hair color is kind of a dark blonde. Now I just have mood hair.
512
Gray hairs seem to my fancy like the soft light of the moon, silvering over the evening of life.
513
For me, hair is an accoutrement. Hair is jewelry. It’s an accessory.
514
My hair routine is to let someone else do it.
515
I’m the first to poke fun at myself when it comes to the hair. I even ask the audience ‘hands up who had big hair in the 80s?’.
516
When I was in college, I used to write little ditties and short stories and poetry for my friends. Writing a book is another thing. It is so much different from my traditional day of dirty fingernails and greasy hair and hot pans.
517
One who hates is a man holding a magnifying-glass, and when he hates someone, he knows precisely that person’s surface, from the soles of his feet all the way up to each hair on the hated head.
518
Growing up, I had a hair condition where my hair would fall out easily, and I had bad asthma.
519
I love my hair. When I was young it had weird kinks and cowlicks in it, but I just grew into it. You grow into a lot of things.
520
I’m a chubby middle-aged white guy with short hair. I think that’s it, really. I kind of have a look. Right now, I’m not fat enough to be the fat friend, but I’m not thin enough to be the leading man, so I look like a cop.
521
My only writing ritual is to shave my head bald between writing the first and second drafts of a book. If I can throw away all my hair, then I have the freedom to trash any part of the book on the next rewrite.
522
I’ve never had my hair cut by anybody, I do it all myself.
523
Whether or not cutting my hair was the right decision, it empowered me.
524
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.
525
I always enjoyed school, and I enjoyed being focused on learning – and I know that sounds nerdy, but there were so many wonderful elements of going to school with just girls. I wouldn’t brush my hair.
526
We know grooming is important for people. To get their hair done, to get makeup and things like that – that makes a person feel better.
527
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.
528
I hate the only one of my book jackets when I was made up professionally, my hair made into a smooth bell.
529
With short hair you have to get a haircut every two or three weeks. And if you’re coloring your hair, you have to color it that often. Every time I did it, I felt fraudulent.
530
I think I am at my best when my hair is short. It’s easier to take care of and more of who I am. Women are conditioned to think we need long hair.
531
That Seaman is a handsome young man but he spends too much time looking in his mirror rather than at the ball. You can’t keep goal with hair like that.
532
Unite has a great dry shampoo called 7Seconds. After a hot yoga class, when I’m super sweaty I spray this on and my hair comes back to life. Miraculous!
533
I’ve earned every wrinkle on my face. I actually like my wrinkles. And guess what? There are a lot of 60-year-old men who have wrinkles, no hair, glasses, and nobody gives a damn.
534
My style is definitely schizophrenic; it does change from day to day a lot. It depends on my mood: sometimes I’ll be going through a girly, childlike stage and wear a pretty lace dress with a bow in my hair. Then sometimes I’ll be moody and just wear black.
535
During the war, women without nylons drew lines up the backs of their legs to give the illusion of silk stockings. Painting over grey hair with spray-on root touch-up – or even dark eyeshadow – is the Covid-19 equivalent.
536
I have long hair because I’m American Indian. I’m an Oklahoma boy, and I’m very proud of my heritage.
537
My dad has blond hair, my grandmother has blue eyes. My daughter has blue eyes and blond hair. So it is pretty funny to me that I’m so heavily identified as an Asian person.
538
A cat’s rage is beautiful, burning with pure cat flame, all its hair standing up and crackling blue sparks, eyes blazing and sputtering.
539
If you look at me close enough, there’s a small resemblance to a chicken nugget. I don’t know if it’s my skin texture or my hair, but the resemblance is definitely there.
540
Ron was always my favorite character, because I feel like I relate to him, like we’ve both got red hair, we both like sweets, we’ve both got lots of brothers and sisters.

One of the strangest things about being an actor is that people you don’t know feel that they are allowed to comment on your hair, body, clothes, relationships.
542
The first time Stuart Broad walked into the dressing room, with his flowing blond hair, striking blue eyes and perfect figure, I thought: ‘My God, she’s beautiful.’
543
It was simple reality – most competitive tennis players in my day were privileged, spoiled, entitled and white. Also, many of them were beautiful, fit, tan and of good stock – great big hair and white teeth and long legs. Then there were the rest of us.
544
I consider myself someone who takes a lot of beauty risks, and I’ve realized what I liar I am. I change my hair a lot, from blue to blonde to bald, but I’m trying to branch out a little more with makeup.
545
When I did stand-up at U.C.B., and I had a blog for a couple of years that started my writing career, ‘Totally Confident and Completely Insecure,’ it was the same kind of self-deprecating humor and stories about being out in L.A. and being treated like a loser at a hair salon because you are not famous.
546
I love my work with a frenetic and perverse love, as an ascetic loves the hair shirt which scratches his belly.
547
I lost some weight, grew my hair and now every woman in America over 40 wants to date me. It’s their daughters I want to convince.
548
But quite honestly, personally, I was much more concerned – I mean, there’s not much I can do about my appearance obviously other than spending four hours in hair and makeup.
549
My mom means the world to me. She’s always been the one to get me up early for work, help me with my make up and hair, and just be there to support me in whatever I do. She always makes sure that no matter what, I’m happy in what I’m doing.
550
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.
551
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.
552
I think Charles Manson was a hair’s breath away from just being a terrorist. He wanted to start a war, too.
553
Bobbed hair makes women look uniform. They lack individuality.
554
The good woman, who makes all the sacrifices is always the one with long hair.
555
I do not think I reinvent myself. Wearing my hair differently or changing my style of dress is playing dress-up. I don’t take it too seriously.
556
Before every show, I would call my mother and say, ‘Mummy, I don’t know how I will sing today.’ But that would change as soon as I went on stage and would merge with my music. She is my best ally, and I don’t want to lose her. Nobody other than her would be concerned if I had eaten or had oiled my hair. She is my queen.
557
I have so much hair; I have a separate wig closet in my house.
558
As Erykah Badu, it has nothing to do with me, the way I look, my hair wrap, my style, it’s about you and what you feel for my music. If I can make you feel like the way that people who influenced me made me feel, that’s completion.
559
I have lived almost seven decades. So I’ve had my hair journey where I wasn’t comfortable with my hair.
560
I love the ’80s. I’m obsessed with it. I love the hair and the people.
561
For someone with darker hair in the beard area that likes to sometimes sprout during a 14-hour drag day, I must have a thick, yet smooth foundation.
562
I am not at all particular about things like hair styles and colors. Especially with women, changing their hairstyle or color is a bit too commonplace, don’t you think?
563
My hair is naturally curly, and in the 80’s, even though I experimented with different lengths, I generally wore it curly. Since then, I’ve learned how to use a blow dryer and flat iron.
564
My hair’s a pain in live performance. I’m always inhaling it: I almost choked to death a couple of times.
565
Hey, our Founding Fathers wore long hair and powdered wigs – I don’t see anybody trying to look like them today, either… But we do look to them as role models.
