Lorelai Gilmore has a much more structured hairstyle than Rory. It really looks like it probably takes a lot more time than Rory’s hair. This is in part due to the fact that Gilmore Girl Lauren Graham has naturally curly hair and she always talks about how long it took to have her hair done on the show.
To me, this character is proof that you can have longer hair even when you’re older. You just need to go with trendy styles instead of holding onto the same style you’ve had in high school. This doesn’t mean that you can’t hold onto the length. Just make sure that you properly care for your hair so that it always looks healthy. For me, my favorite style of Lorelai Gilmore’s is when it’s a controlled curl. I don’t know if they straighten her hair and then curl it or work with her naturally curly hair. However, it sure makes me envious although I wouldn’t have the patience to wait that long to have my hair done.
