“I tried to do everything you can do to your hair. Personally, I felt it [was] humiliating. I would go into a hair salon—the smell of the chemicals, the feeling of that color on my hair […] wearing the thing, sitting under the hairdryer—I was like, ‘For what?'” Curtis revealed.

She continued, “So very early on in my career, I had a perm and then had to dye my hair for a movie and it burned my hair off my head. And the first time I cut my hair short, I went, ‘Oh! […] Wow, I look like me!'”
Jamie Lee Curtis said that since then, she stopped dyeing her locks. Using some choice words, she also reiterated her preference for leaving her physical features unaltered by cosmetic work, expressing outrage at the term and overall concept of anti-aging.
It’s safe to say that the legendary 65-year-old will continue to go against the grain of societal pressures concerning growing older and will not subject herself to procedures that attempt to slow down the effects of aging.
