My son got married on Saturday and that morning I joined the wedding party and the MOTB in getting our hair and makeup done. The stylist is a man who has done hair and makeup for Fashion Week in NY and his three assistants. I told the first assistant "no damage", that I take very good care of my hair and I don't want it heat damaged. They told me what products they were using for protection (though I couldn't say now what they were).
She curled my just-past-Classic hair into big, pretty curls and fixed up my side-swept bangs that I've been growing out. The curls were pinned up while others were being done and then I went to the other assistant for styling. She kept raving that "your hair is GORGEOUS!" "Beautiful!" It did look very nice, really soft and shiny, silky. I've been using Loreal Mega Moisture for a few weeks and it's fabulous.
The wedding was great, nice ceremony and then lots of food and dancing. I wore a beautiful royal blue floor length dress with a wide band of beading and sequins around the empire waist line. Felt really good when a woman I didn't know came up to me, hugged me, and said, "You are gorgeous. When you walked out I didn't know who you were and thought maybe you were one of the sisters (of the groom)." She later said, "Do you mind if I ask how old you are?" I told her that I would be 50 in three months, which shocked her. A friend of my son, totally unrelated to the other comments, later said to me that my daughter was beautiful and looks just like me, then he nudged me and said, "That means you're one good looking woman."
Wow... make this middle-aged woman feel pretty good. :) Just goes to show what a little makeup (which I never wear) and hair styling can do!
