Yulia Latynina And Her Amazing Head Of Hair (PHOTO)

We came across a photo of Russian political analyst Yulia Latynina as she was waiting to meet with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton in Moscow, Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2009.

Sure, she's an extremely accomplished writer (of 20 works of fiction), journalist, and radio host, but we just can't get over her beautiful head of Grace Coddington-esque hair.

Here's her follicular soul mate, Vogue's Creative Director Grace Coddington:

It looks like a clown wig. Am I seeing roots?

What on earth is so beautiful about dyed red hair, done so to capture how it looked when they were young? It's the dye that adds bulk to the hair shaft, making it bigger and frizzier. Hence, a look that is no longer natural in color OR style.

Ms. Julia's dye-job is more pronounced, as she was photographed replete w/gray roots. Ms. Coddington probably gets hers touched up more often.

That said, both remind me of Phil Spector.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Personally, I think both ladies have BEAUTIFUL, HEALTHY-LOOKIING heads of hair, especially the second lady.

I assume you're being wry...

(It's the same woman...)

Your right to have big hair ends when it infringes on my personal space. I once attended a business seminar which included a working lunch. The room was set up classroom style and we all got our lunches from the buffet and came back to our seats to eat while a speaker continued with the seminar. The person who had been sitting in front of me evidently swapped seats with a woman who had ginormous hair. She proceeded to toss her hair like a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader - all over my lunch! She actually had salad dressing in her hair - from MY salad! I picked up my things, went and got another lunch, and sat elsewhere. It was disgusting.

Rats nests come to mind, frankly. I wonder what is hiding in there. She has all that time to write because she doesn't take even a moment to attend to hair.

[HereinDC]

"beautiful". ? ? ? Oy Vey!

[Lulu-1]

That's exactly my hair in its "natural" state. Thank god for large round brushes and blow dryers.

[Libbydoe]

I was really curious to read the comments on this type of hair in its natural state. As I mentioned in my previous post, I have hair exactly like this. One reason that it looks so dry is because when you have this much hair and it is curly as well, the oils in one's scalp never get to the ends. Consequently, the hair is very dry. No amount of conditioner really helps very much.

And here I was thinking Muammar Gaddafi was having a bad hair day ...

[KaLaPa111]

She needs a relaxer. Blow dryers and flat irons aren't gonna cut it.

[cyoohoos]

Nobody ' needs' a relaxer. Her hair is beautiful as it is.

[gracie99]

I admire the guts it takes to go with all-out frizz.

It's my hair's natural state too.

The only way to really control serious frizz -- at least without drying it more with chemicals -- is lots of conditioner (both a rinse-out and a leave-in) followed by wet setting it on curlers.

Dying it bright red and letting it go is a lot easier and more relaxed way to deal with it -- but, alas, the look is taken!

[LMPE]

Reminds me of Roseanne Roseannadanna. So it is always something!

[happycat]

Does anybody have her address? I would like to send her my extra flat iron.

[lillibelle]

(Maybe some new pants, too?)

[happycat]

Let's send in her photo to Oprah. Yulia would be a great candidate for the next makeover show.

[naschkatze]

She looks like Rudy Nureyev in drag.

[happycat]

or a 1970s porn star.

[lillibelle]

I can see that!

The Vogue Director looks like Queen Elizabeth (daughter of Anne Boleyn) with red nail polish.

[happycat]

She really does!

[missmcgillicuddy]

She needs some pomade.
