Do make-overs stick?

Asked by SuperMouse (3768 points) | asked June 22nd, 2008 | 6 responses | “Great Question” (0 points) | Flag as…

I am a sucker for make-over shows, you know the ones where the frumpy housewife (not unlike myself), gets a new hairstyle and wardrobe. I always wonder, do the make-overs actually stick, or are they back to their frumpy ways the very next day?

Perhaps? I’m guessing it would depend on the person, and how good they honestly thought the makeover was.

Only if you have 5 hair stylists stashed away in your bathroom. I can’‘t even replicate what my one hair dresser does to my hair every 6 weeks.

I think it depends on the person. If they really wanted to get a make-over I would think they would keep it up. If they are there because their family or friends; I don’t think they will keep it up, because it wasn’t what they wanted in the first place.

I know someone who was talked into changing her hairstyle and color. It was a style that had to go She did, but eventually she went back to her own style and color. A lot of people are set in their ways and don’t want to change anything about themselves.

One site says this:

“But do these makeovers stick? For many women the sad reality is they just can’t get their hair and makeup to look exactly the same after they leave the soundstage. For the majority, it is one day of glitz and glamour and then back to normal. Is it worth it?

For the women who got the ultimate in self esteem boosts, if only for a day or two, they would say absolutely. Others would say that the difficulty found in the upkeep is not worth it, and they regret ever trying to make a change.

Ultimately, without the help of the talk show host’s head styling gurus, the majority of women featured on these shows slip back into the slump far too quickly. ”

I don’t think many of us really want to look like that day in & day out. It looks fakey.
But great fun from time to time.

it depends on how much the person wants it or likes it.
