Joanna Lumley hair colour.

Wel Kalu Lucky is not a word I would use to describe myself! Lost my teeth, my hair as mentioned many times. However, I have always tried to look after my skin so that I have at least something going for me. I have used Oil of Ulay beauty fluid for as long as I can remember.

So sorry to hear that Kate1949. 💐

My sister got that 'miracle serum' from Boots yesterday. She said they had loads of it and no one grabbing it despite press reports of queuing.
I am fortunate that at nearly 74, I have no wrinkles on my face. My arms however could definitely do with a miracle.

My arms look not too bad in a certain position, it's just remembering which one is the problem!

Sleeves are wonderful. 😁

JL seems so unpretentious - that's what I like about her. She seems like fun, is interested in everything, and looks wonderful. I do believe what she says about her hair - it is too ordinary to have been in the hands of stylist, but with looks like hers you can get away with anything on your head.

I'm sure she does do her own hair, but when she's on the TV I'm equally sure that there are hairdressers to sort her out and re-do anything that needs doing. After all, most of us do our own hair between visits to the hairdresser but that doesn't mean we don't go at all!

I'm wondering why I'd never investigated Astral before, just a product I'd passed by in Boots, now given the testaments here, I think I'll give it a go.

On the subject of Boots and skin products, and slightly off topic from Joanna's hair, there was an article in The Times Weekend magazine yesterday reviewing the new "miracle" serum, "Damage Reversal" launched by No 7 which crashed their website allegedly. The reviewers conclusion "for once this justifies the hullabaloo surrounding it" So I'll be hotfooting it down to Boots in the next week to see if they have still in store and pick up a jar of Astral at the same time!.

I ordered some of the magic products, 3 for 2 and other reductions last week. This morning my order arrived and they've bunged in an extra bottle of the serum, no mention of this so I guess it was a lucky mistake!

I think good skin (no wrinkles) is a lot to do with genes. I use any cream that’s on offer and mine isn’t too bad, like Mum’s. I can well believe JL cuts and colours her own hair but she looks good anyway. I always like her clothes which she says are ancient!

I think you're right about the genes, but it's also age! My skin has aged over this last year, once I reached 70. I think there's a lot of truth in the idea that things change when you reach "three score years and ten"!

I went to school with JL. Her hair is naturally very curly, and she straightens it. The colour when I knew her was dark mouse. I think by now she would be grey haired, as her mother was and her sister is.

Try nivea it's lovely on your skin xx

Just like when Fiona Fullerton appeared in a posh magazine wearing overalls holding a paintbrush saying she has just redecorated her swanky London apartment.... which my company decorated and she even knocked us by not not paying the full amount! wonder how much the mag paid her for the 'exclusive' ?!? lots more than she paid us I imagine!!!

I like Joanna Lumley and I like her hair. I think it suits her.

Regarding skincare my Mum lived to nearly 97 and had beautiful, pale skin with hardly a wrinkle. Everybody commented on her lovely skin and hair so I am hoping I go the same way!

She never smoke or drank, ate a very healthy homegrown diet, liked being outside doing jobs and used just Pond’s skincream in a little white jar with pink writing. She never went abroad and never sunbathed and I think that had a lot to do with it. A neighbour lived in Ibiza during her hippy years and sunbathed all the time and her skin is sadly like a piece of leather.

I agree but think the gap of ageing evidence narrows the older you get🥴

I agree with others about JLs hair. It looks so dry and straw like that I believe she cuts and colours it herself. She needs to get a professional to give it a proper deep conditioning, cut and colour. Otherwise she looks fabulous.

I read somewhere that she said she also does her own nails cause she’s too mean to go to a salon! I do love her attitude to life.

I also love Joanna Lumley. She’s self deprecating and has a brilliant sense of humour. Love her looks and figure and she’s been round long enough not to be too bothered what people think of her. Very classy and clever lady with a very interesting past. I loved her as Patsy in Ab Fab she really made the character her own.

You just made me spit out my tea!!!

Sorry I’d just read Esmay’s Lambretta comment from 15th!
😂😂

It’sa wig 🤣

Kalu you mentioned HM. Saw her recently on a chat show and she looked awful. Certainly wouldn't recommend her plastic surgeon!

During lockdown, I started cutting my own hair after watching a YouTube video. I've just kept on doing it, as hairdressers are so expensive these days. Nobody seems to notice that it's cut at home! (I did buy a proper pair of hairdressing scissors though!)
As for JL, while her hair sometimes does look like it's home dyed, on occasion it looks fab, so I deffo think she gets it done in a salon sometimes. I also bet she used very expensive face creams alongside the Astral!

All her holidays are paid for, her clothes are old, she does her own, hair and make up plus nails, Someone is going to be very rich on her frugality. She does have two homes but her husband is successful in his own career.

At our age, less is more:
• a good haircut, whether you color or not
• if you color, select proper shade for your skin tone - and stay LIGHT as you age (that’s a must!)
• if you cut your hair (I have for the last 35 yrs) - Hooray!! You’re saving LOTS of money $$$
• a good moisturizer with sunscreen
• minimal makeup, perhaps three products to accentuate your best features
• don't overeat, but enough nutrients, proteins, vitamins/minerals
• drinks LOTS of water for body hydration and functionality, plus brain health
• sleep… what can I say. More is better
• treat yourself once in a while (have that piece of pie!) You’ve earned it.
• if you are able - walking, stretching, yoga (work off that pie!)
• be kind to others 💕 and all animals
These few things are fundamentals for good mental health and caring for your tender body.
I don’t know who Joanna Lumley is but she sounds lovely and a force positive for women. Will have to Google her.
Cheers!

I have cut and sometimes coloured my own hair since 1963 after a bad experience with a hairdresser.
Was advised by a doctor that Nivea was the best cream.

• if you color, select proper shade for your skin tone - and stay LIGHT as you age (that’s a must!)

Oh dear, mine's naturally very dark.
Should I bleach it? (purple, I want purple)

IF you color, stay light. Didn’t say you should change your natural color. Lucky girl, you, to have your natural hair shade still. But you’d probably look good in purple. Sounds like you really want it.
