Is Your Hair Aging You?

Being overtressed can add more years than any wrinkle. 

Check out how loosening up their 'dos keeps these beauty icons looking forever young:

KATIE HOLMES:

 

   We hardly knew ya when you transformed from Dawson's sweetie to Suri's mommy. 

HAIR AGE: 18 

 But all was forgiven with the bold bob and bangs. A tad sophisticated for 29 (and perhaps more
appropriate for 34-year-old BFF Posh), but a chic compromise nonetheless. 

 HAIR AGE: 34 

JESSICA SIMPSON:

 Recipe for disaster? Faux tan exacerbated by matching copper wig. 

HAIR AGE: 42

And it got worse with the platinum helmet. 

HAIR AGE: 51

 

Just leave it alone and act your age (27), Jess. 

HAIR AGE: 20

ANGELINA JOLIE:

   A messy bird's-nest updo with limp and lanky tendrils obscures the 32-year-old 

stunner's famously chiseled features.

 HAIR AGE: 47

Sculpted waves, swept off her luminous face, balance the angles of her jawline, allowing 

her lips — ta-da! — to steal the spotlight. 

HAIR AGE: 30

SCARLETT JOHANSSON:

 Between the curves and killer Hollywood résumé, it's easy to forget she's just 23. 

But unless you're starring in a period film, why age yourself with a tightly coiled coif? 

HAIR AGE: 35 

 For non-costume affairs, we vote for natural curls.

HAIR AGE: 25

REESE WITHERSPOON:

... as a soccer mom. 

HAIR AGE: 41

 But with a snip of her bangs, a flip of the ends, and a subtle streak of lowlights, 

the 32-year-old upgrades from soccer mom to supernova. 

HAIR AGE: 28
