Opposite the braid, her face-framing layers become part of the look as her slightly lifted roots keep the style from feeling too traditional. 03 of 24 Tyra Banks's Shoulder-Grazing Bob John Shearer/WireImage THE STYLE A swingy, below-the-chin crop with chunky cinnamon highlights WHERE At Nickelodeon's 23rd Annual Kid's Choice Awards in Los Angeles WHY WE LOVE IT Back in September, Tyra Banks announced she'd be ditching her weave in favor of natural strands.

Not quite a blond, brown or red, the earthy, nuanced shade is just plain chic. 05 of 24 Jennifer Love Hewitt's New Bob! Jason Kempin/Getty Images THE CUT A chin-length crop styled in chunky, rounded spirals WHERE Promoting her book The Day I Shot Cupid in New York City WHY WE LOVE IT Jennifer Love Hewitt's new above-the-shoulder cut is shapely, voluminous and incredibly modern.

We also can't get over the way the loose barrel curls manage to be shapely and full of movement all at once. 07 of 24 Kim Kardashian's Glossy Strands John Parra/FilmMagic THE STYLE Extra-long hair with plenty of high intensity shine WHERE An appearance at Walgreens promoting QuickTrim in Miami Beach WHY WE LOVE IT Kim Kardashian has a scent, a skincare line, and a diet system, but this beauty maven knows a thing or two about good hair, too.

Now we're excited to see the star's taking her transformation one step further by adding below-the-shoulder extensions. One reason her new look works so well? Her eyebrows have also been darkened to match her brunette strands. 10 of 24 Dakota Fanning's Silky Blowout Jim Spellman/WireImage THE STYLE Extra-straight and extra-glossy blond hair with a perfectly imperfect center part WHERE The premiere of The Runaways in New York City WHY WE LOVE IT Dakota Fanning's easy blowout is a reminder that when you've got gorgeous hair color and a flawless complexion, you don't need an overdone style to turn heads. To smooth any extra lift at your crown, try working styling gel into your roots when your hair is still wet. The new formulas banish puffiness without leaving behind any flaky, crunchy residue. 11 of 24 Lauren Conrad's Bleached-Out Tips Amy Graves/WireImage THE COLOR Deep caramel roots, honey-hued strands and baby blond tips WHERE A Shopbop dinner in Beverly Hills INSIDE SCOOP "I just bleached out my tips," Lauren Conrad told us this week.

He let the hair dry naturally, then shaped a few sections with a blow dryer before adding a cocktail of mousse and beach spray for separation. "I parted the hair on the side and crisscrossed a small section with bobby pins," he said. "We've really been shaking up her look lately and it's been fun!" 13 of 24 Dianna Agron's Flirty Twist Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic THE STYLE A simple down 'do with a gentle hairline twist WHERE The 27th Annual PaleyFest in Los Angeles WHY WE LOVE IT She may play a ruthless cheerleader on Glee, but Dianna Agron's twisted back style was anything but hard-edged. It's easy to pull off, too: Part your hair on the side, roll back a one-inch section along your scalp and secure with a bobby pin behind your ear. 14 of 24 Gabrielle Union's Dimensional Highlights Noel Vasquez/Getty Images THE STYLE A nuanced mix of spicy brown and champagne blond WHERE The 27th Annual PaleyFest presents FlashForward in Beverly Hills WHY WE LOVE IT Gabrielle Union's tone-on-tone shades have plenty of depth and shine.

"Once the hair was smoothed out, I used a one inch iron and curled it from mid-shaft down for a looser, more controlled effect," he said. He brushed through the spirals, added another dose of shine serum and finished with hairspray. "She loved it and so did I!" Paves said. 16 of 24 Emma Roberts's Top Knot Michael Tran/FilmMagic THE STYLE A chunky, oversized bun perched at the crown WHERE A Chanel dinner in Los Angeles BR]WHY WE LOVE IT Emma Roberts's high knot is striking, shiny and not a bit stiff or formal.

He blew the hair dry, doused the ends with a shine-enhancing cream, then went through with a small curling iron to crimp and wave it. The heat played double-duty to lock in gloss and shape the strands. 18 of 24 Kristen Stewart's Windswept Updo Jeff Vespa/WireImage THE STYLE A polished yet textured updo gathered at the nape of the neck WHERE The 2010 Academy Awards in Hollywood INSIDE SCOOP When it comes to her hair, Kristen Stewart may be young Hollywood's edgiest star. For Oscars night, Frederic Fekkai stylist Renato Campora played-up that image with an intricate but sophisticated style. He waved the hair with a one-inch curling iron, then braided small sections starting at mid-shaft. He left the ends of the braids undone, gathered them into a low chignon and pinned in place. The result? "A modernalook with a young vibe," says Campora. 19 of 24 Kate Winslet's Movie Star Waves Jim Smeal / BEImages THE STYLE Touchably soft and structured spirals pulled onto one shoulder WHERE The 2010 Oscars in Los Angeles INSIDE SCOOP 2009 was Kate Winslet's Oscar year, but her 2010 look was downright award-worthy. Frederic Fekkai stylist Renato Campora mixed volumizing mousse and silkening cream to give the hair a strong foundation before parting it on the side and blowing dry. With a one-inch curling iron, he created soft waves and set them with a blast of strong hold hairspray. "She's like a modern day Veronica Lake," said Campora. 20 of 24 Reese Witherspoon's Face-Framing Bangs John Shearer/WireImage THE STYLE Piecey eyelash-grazing bangs pushed off the face WHERE The Vera Wang store launch in Los Angeles INSIDE SCOOP Reese Witherspoon's look, created by stylist Cervando Maldonado, was classic Reese: Simple, understated, but entirely flawless.

He also coated the ends with a silkening cream before locking in shine with a flatiron. 21 of 24 Mila Kunis's Sweet Ponytail Picture Perfect / Rex USA THE STYLE A center-parted style pulled into a low, delicately curled pony WHERE A Vogue/Vera Wang dinner in Los Angeles WHY WE LOVE IT Mila Kunis's look, created by Tresemme stylist Mara Roszak, is a romantic and princessy without being one bit prissy. The ponytail's spiral is loosened just so; the single cheek-grazing tendril adds a hint of playfulness. 22 of 24 Ginnifer Goodwin's Shorter Cut Landov THE STYLE A longish pixie with choppy fringed brushed on the forehead WHERE The Stylist Project Exhibition in Los Angeles INSIDE SCOOP You may not be able to tell from looking at this snap of Ginnifer Goodwin, but the Big Love star just got a haircut! "Her bangs used to fall below the nose," says her stylist, Anh Co Tran. "Now they're actually above the eyebrow, which is a really pretty length." He arranged them on her forehead with a touch of styling wax. "You want to go really light with product when you have hair this short," he says. "You still need a little volume at the crown so the style doesn't look weighed-down." 23 of 24 Camilla Belle's Windswept Hair Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic.com THE STYLE Brushed back strands with airy, unkempt texture WHERE A Marchesa event at Cecconi's restaurant in Los Angeles WHY WE LOVE IT Camilla Belle is a master of sophisticated looks and this free-spirited one by stylist Gio Campora was no exception.

The textured, cut-into ends give them movement; the slightly uneven shape keeps them entirely modern.
