Julia Roberts is known for her ever-changing hairstyles, and her latest switch-up may be the most eye-catching yet. The iconic actress, usually seen with darker hair, recently debuted luscious blonde locks on Instagram. The post garnered plenty of praise, but reactions on Facebook were mixed.
Some fans loved the new look, while others had reservations. Comments like “Not the same person,” and “Bleached blonde is not for her,” dominated the conversation. Others felt that “Red is so much prettier,” and one speculated, “She probably went with blond because she is grey. Blond covers grey better.”
Roberts has always been a trendsetter, and her hair transformations are no exception. Despite some negative feedback, her bold choices in style and fashion keep her in the spotlight.
Earlier this year, Roberts shared one of her biggest regrets in an interview with Vogue: not going to college. “I couldn’t. It wasn’t in my cards,” she revealed. “My family didn’t have the money. And I had no scholarship potential. That kind of thing.”
Roberts’ candid reflections and evolving style demonstrate her ability to surprise and inspire fans. Whether she’s donning dark locks or going blonde, the actress continues to make waves in the industry. Her latest hair transformation is just another example of her enduring appeal and ability to keep her audience guessing.
Vet reveals the shocking reason you should never hug your dog
A vet has warned how a ‘hug’ can make a dog feel, and it’s not necessarily what you would expect
A vet has warned that it could be a bad idea to ‘hug’ your dog, as it could have the opposite effect on them to what us humans feel.
There’s nothing nicer than coming home from a long day at work to your furry friend scurrying as fast as they can to the door to greet you.
Your natural reaction is usually to bend down and give them a big cuddle, and whilst it might look like they’re loving every second – it might not be what they’re really feeling.
Dog experts are now warning owners to find different ways of showing their love.
According to a vet who spoke to Psychology Today, a hug can actually make a dog feel quite anxious and trapped – this is because a dog’s primary defence is to run away.
Psychologist Stanley Coren explained: “Yes, your dog may leap into your lap and kiss your face, cuddle against your neck, and beg you to rub her belly.
“But that’s not ‘hugging.’
“In my experience, many dogs don’t enjoy having a human move one or two arms around their shoulders and squeeze.
“That’s the hug we are talking about.”
Behaviour Vets author Lauren Novack believes dogs who do enjoy hugs are a complete ‘exception’, reports Daily Paws.
She said: “When dogs don’t like something and politely ask for space over and over again to no avail, they’re likely to escalate their communication to growling or biting.
“I don’t want dogs to be stressed, and I don’t want humans to get bitten. For most dogs, hugs are stressful.”
Stanley previously analysed 250 photos of dogs being given hugs, and he found that in 80% of the images, the dogs showed signs of looking stressed.
And he noted that this can be indicated by a dog lowers their ears, closing their eyes, or turning away from the source of anxiety.
And the psychologist has now revealed some much better alternatives.
He said: “The clear recommendation to come out of this research is to save your hugs for your two-footed family members and lovers.
“It is clearly better from the dog’s point of view if you express your fondness for your pet with a pat, a kind word, and maybe a treat.”
And the last thing we want to do is upset our furry babies, so we’re definitely going to take this advice on board!
