I think she looks terrific. She also looks happy. It's nice to see that she's taking care of herself as well as the kids. One article said the kids are in counseling about the divorce which is a good thing. When they say 20 hours, it might be 20 hours over the course of a week or at least several days. My granddaughter needs 8 hours for her braids/extensions. When she was younger they did it over two days.

I like it. I'm a fan of longer hair though. Even @ 52 I still never wear my own hair shorter than shoulder length. Right now it's about arm pit level in the back and tappered around the face with whisk type bangs. Some women look better cutting their hair shorter as they age.......and some women just look older IF they go with the short hair. I'm afraid I would fall in the 2nd catagory so I'm keeping my long hair.

OK, that makes more sense. I couldn't figure out what "She can now be a sh*t" was supposed to mean.

Yes, it was the M word, Beek. I looked on the original article.

Thanks, Naja. I guess M is certainly not as bad as S, even though S seems to be used like some kind of compliment these days. lol

I think it was actually a compliment.. interesting that Hailey had the same thought about a wee bit of revenge toward Jon. But of course at the time Kate had her long hair CUT she was a young mom with twins and then having to stay on her back in a hospital bed for months.. hardly conducive to maintaining long hair and then being mom to 8.. now the kids are a few years older and in school and that gives her a bit more time and also as long as she is connected to TLC she'll at least have hair and makeup help prior to any shoots or interviews. If you add up all the time Jon seems to spend on cell phone convos and smoking and pacing.. you could get in quite a bit of weave/extension time.

it was sort of a joke among my friends when we were young, getting married and having kids. we all grew our hair long for our weddings, then cut it shorter afterwards. then it got progressively shorter with each child. then when the kids hit 5 or so, we started growing it out. LOL

RFLOL I must be the only person who goes at hair the completely opposite way. I would never cut my hair SHORT because of all the time and work it takes to maintain it. Long hair is so much easier, just brush it and go and if it's a bad hair day then a headband or a ponytail. When I had young kids I never had the time to spend in a salon chair every 6 weeks pampering myself to maintain short hair.

Risa, I agree. Long hair is easier to take care of especially for mothers who are busy with lots of little ones or any woman who has a busy life. I find the new hair as somewhat comical and not in a bad way...obviously she can do whatever she wants with her hair. She sure knows how to keep herself in the spotlight. I thought she loved her short hair. But I can certainly understand how she wanted a change, after all her hair was a national joke....Halloween costumes of her hair and constant making fun of it on shows the The Soup. And I'd bet she didn't sit the full 20 hours in one session. And even if she did she has nannies and Jon does have time with the kids so what better way to spend her time away than getting rid of that hairdo she sported for all those years. I think it looks good but imo anything would have been an improvement from the short spiked hair that made Halloween so fun this past year.

Kate would look good with a soup bowl on her head. She has such a lovely face that supercedes her hair.

I too found long hair much easier when I had a young child. I could cut my bangs myself, I could even trim the back myself after DD had gone to bed -- certainly couldn't run out to the salon every 6 weeks for a trim when I had a little one under foot! MGM, I'm thinking that for halloween this year if the kids want to be Kate they can wear the blonde rocker wig -- that's about how unnatural her extensions look to me. I don't know a thing about extentions. So, how long do they stay on? Will they slowly start to fall off and she'll have to go have them glued back on? Or do you have them taken off and redone in one setting? And all the while you're letting your real hair underneath grow out?

Boob job, new teeth, tummy tuck, hair extensions and who knows what else. She's looking less and less like a prototypical mom and more and more like one of Tiger's conquests.

It certainly sends a message about the importance of body image at any price. I hope her preteen female fans are taking notes.

Why in the world should she have to look like a prototypical mom?? To me, the worst thing in the world is to be told i have 'mom hair'! LOL unless she's gotten once since the tummy tuck, she hasn't gotten a boob job. the plastic surgeon said she didn't need one. as the mother of a teen daughter, we always talk about self image and the importance of liking one's self as you are, but on the other hand that doesn't mean that one shouldn't try to be healthy fit and take care of one's self. I frankly don't see anything wrong with Kate having a tummy tuck because of her individual situation. And I don't think having hair extensions sends any different message to a teen girl about long hair than all the magazines, actresses and men who worship women with long hair.

New boobs? And teeth? I must have missed those. LOL I know she had her teeth whitened. Seems like folks love those neon choppers these days. It would probably be appropriate for anyone who carried six babies to have their tummy tucked. I only carried four, at four separate times, and trust me...I would have taken the offer of a tummy tuck, too. HA! A new hair style...whether it's extensions or just a cut...is nothing unusual. Perhaps the message it sends is that taking care of your body and your appearance is important. Kate's look is better, in my opinion, as a message, than many other 'celebrities' today. As for looking like one of Tiger's conquests...she looks more like his wife than any of the gigantic boobed, tightly dressed, big lipped gals o' Tiger that I've seen photographed. And she's not running around spilling the beans about her sexuality. So that comparison falls weak to me.

After carrying six babies, her skin was never going to go back. I think most women would go for a free tummy tuck in that situation. Tex is right, no boob job unless she had one recently. I am a mom of three girls and very concerned about society and the emphasis on physical beauty and body image etc. I do not see anything wrong with teeth whitening (I think that is what she had, not new teeth, I could be wrong though) or different hair styles including extensions.

I think Kate would be the first one to admitt she isn't into the natural look. She's not the mother Earth type. She likes her makeup and heels she keeps up with fashion, gets her mani pedi, fake bake, teeth whitening and lots of other things for beauty purposes just like millions of other women, nothing wrong with that. However I was surprised she went to such a drastic departure from what how she was sporting her hair. I would have done it more gradually. She would have had to have known it was going to be fodder for a lot of the comics out there. Now that her job is to be a tv celeb keeping her name in the media is part of her job and she's done her part.

I can't say that I'm surprised, given America's incredible obsession with physical appearance especially involving any celebrity who is in the public's view.
