You see Sarah Jessica Parker, realize she's in her 40's, and begin to long for her loose curls. Don't just wish for it, make it happen! You don't have to be 20 years old to have amazing hair. Let's look at a few celebrities who break the mold and have fabulous fringe, regardless of their years. Remember folks, age ain't nothin' but a number!

Our beauty routine is really feeling this poopy economy. Our roots are about two inches long, our beauty closet is down to bare essentials, and we're just dying for something to give!

We all want a salon worthy blow out each time we step out the door. You might think it's easier said than done unless you have Ken Paves on speed dial. Ah, but you are mistaken grasshoppa. It really is as easy as 1-2-3 to achieve what we like to call the Holy Grail – the perfect blow dry.

This is the second installment of celebrity favorites -- the products that they actually use on a daily basis, not the one's they plug because they're paid.

Here are favorite celebrity hair care products that keep their flowing manes shiny and luscious.

Stephan Zenz is a DJ turned stylist who has worked on hair in London, Germany, and now has a salon in the Philippines where he tends to the manes of the rich and famous. He's worked with every hair type under the sun and has some real goodies to share.

Now that we've got that out of the way onto his styling tips.

Alright, alright so at home hair color isn't the best way to go we admit. However, with the dollar floundering around like a fish out of water, $200+ salon trips just ain't happenin. So we've had to resort to that $10 box with high hopes that one day, just maybe one day, we'll get that at home color right.

If you have short hair and wish it was longer, you have oodles of options for hair extensions. You can go high-end or cheap, real or synthetic -- the options are nearly endless.

But if you want extensions, you have more to consider than whether you want to use Jessica Simpson's or Paris Hilton's -- you need to consider whether it's okay for your hair.

There are few editorial forums out there bold enough to talk about Rogaine. GQ wouldn't touch this one with a ten-foot pole, and that's ditto for Elle and Vogue. But here at Styledash, we feel no need for such propriety. As the self-proclaimed gunslingers of the beauty biz, we're ready to tell it like it is, come what will.

That's why I don't hesitate to talk about one of my own drugstore beauty secrets: Rogaine. No, no, no -- it's not what you're thinking. I have a perfectly full head of healthy hair. But about three years ago, when I first started working in the fashion industry, someone warned me that I would never get jobs with my skinny, over-worked eyebrows. (As I mentioned yesterday, the bushy browed look has been pretty big in the fashion biz for a while now.)

Not one to let my own stone gather moss, I weighed my options. Either I could wait it out or I could do something about the problem. And of course I decided to do something about it.

So I stole -- yeah, like I was actually going to buy a bottle of it -- an ex-boyfriend's generic hair regrowth treatment from his medicine cabinet. Then, I very carefully applied a thin layer of Rogaine onto my over-plucked brows with a Q-tip once a day. Sounds, gross, I know. And yes, it's probably very dangerous.* But sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures. Am I right?

Within two weeks my brows had started to regenerate, and by the end of the month, they had fully regrown.

And it was truly a minoxidil miracle!

*okay people, I'm just going to say it: DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!
