THE LOOK Wide curls
HOW-TO Start with a texturizing gel to eliminate frizz and keep curls cohesive, says stylist Burton Machen. With hair parted in the center, take a one-inch section, form it into a curl and lay the curl flat on the head and pin it. Create a row of curls on either side of the part and work down each side. Let set for as long as possible (a minimum of 20 minutes).
INSIDER TRICK This can also be done at night to save time the next day. "Plus, curls pinned this way are more comfortable to sleep on than rollers," says Machen.

THE LOOK Sexy waves
HOW-TO Start with soft-hold mousse on damp hair, says Michael Murphy of New York’s EIJI Salon. Then twist and roll small sections of hair into pin curls and clip. “Don’t get too close the roots,” says Murphy. “You want body throughout the hair, not at the root.” Dry hair with a diffuser to speed up the process and then when dry, release the pin-curls and gently separate them with fingers.
INSIDER TRICK “This look works best for those with fine, longer locks because it easily adds volume and body for a very sexy, carefree look,” says Murphy.

THE LOOK Wavy side style
HOW-TO Stylist Adir Abergel started with Fekkai mousse on the roots for body. Then he blew hair dry with a natural boar bristle brush. "With two-inch sections of hair, I wrapped it around the round brush and let it cool," says Abergel. "I repeated that around the entire head and then hand-tousled the hair. I lifted sections of hair and pinned it up, letting it twist organically and then secured with a hair clip." When he had created the look he wanted, he replaced the silver hair clips with brown bobby pins and set the look with hairspray.
INSIDER TRICK "Using the hair clips is an easy way to get the shape first and then you can replace them with pins," says Abergel.

Meg Ryan, October 2008

Robert Erdmann

THE LOOK Beachy waves
HOW-TO To get this look, stylist David Babaii spritzed Meg’s freshly-washed, damp hair with his Bohemian Beach Spray “to give her hair volume and great texture in the wave.” He then blew it dry with a diffuser, “bringing the hair up slowly and not touching to too much to prevent frizz,” says Babaii. When hair was dry, he took any less-wavy pieces and curled them with his FHI one-inch iron to look like the rest of the waves; and then finished with hairspray.
INSIDER TRICK Babaii spritzed beach spray at the roots to make sure the top of her head wasn’t flat and straight.

Mena Suvari

THE LOOK Sharp-edged bob
HOW-TO Ask your stylist for a bob that’s even in length around the entire head, says stylist Jonathan Garcia of Las Vegas’s Ritual Salon amp Spa. “Communicate that you want a square chin-length bob with a full bang that goes to the brow when dry. Do not cut the bangs when wet, as they will shrink when dried and may be shorter than you would like. Also, ask that the stylist to use a razor on the ends to frame the face and add a bit of edginess,” says Garcia.
INSIDER TRICK Says Garcia, “Stay away from silicone-based polishes because you want a more dry look,” as opposed to something too greasy.

Michelle Williams

THE LOOK Chin-length finger waves
HOW-TO Start by combing gel through hair. To create finger waves, stylist Edward Tricomi says, "Using a fine-tooth comb and your finger, start at the root of the hair and using your finger as a guide for the comb, lean the comb on your index finger and swirl it downward, indenting every turn. Use the finger as a placeholder as you form s-shape curls with the comb. As you go, place a bobby pin to hold it while the gel dries. Once dry, remove the bobbyi pins and slightly and very gently brush out with a paddle brush to give it a less-stiff feel." This style is best on chin-length cuts.
INSIDER TRICK "You can create this look with a curling iron by alternating the curl between pieces with some curled to the front and the others to the back," says Tricomi.

HOW-TO When blow-drying the bangs, pull them straight between your second and third fingers and then slightly to the side as you near the ends and set with a light hairspray. "To style, part hair to the side and then pull hair into a loose bun," says stylist Laurent D. "Allow a few pieces of hair to fall to the forehead and finish with a texture spray and shine serum."
INSIDER TRICK Bangs will do this bend more easily if hair is naturally wavy.

HOW-TO Stylist Helena Faccenda recommends using a large ceramic curling iron on dry hair. "Take large sections and wrap them around the iron," she says. After you have curled the entire head, use a lightweight styling cream and lightly brush the curls to soften them into waves.

INSIDER TRICK "When curling the hair, wear a hot glove so you don't have to worry when you wrap hair around the iron barrel," says Faccenda.

Pull a small section from each side of the head and bring together in the back and secure with a bobby pin or hair accessory.

THE LOOK Curly and pulled to the side
HOW-TO Blow-dry hair using a flat brush. "The curls start halfway down the hair shaft, so the trick is to keep the root flat," says stylist Tom Brophy. When dry, part the hair and curl sections with a medium-size iron. "Begin a few inches from the end of the hair, wrap the hair around the iron leaving the ends out," says Brophy. "As you work up the hair shaft towards the root with the iron the curls become larger and looser and the curls towards the end are smaller defined. Pin one side behind the ear to secure the style. Finish with spray gloss for shine and a light hair spray."
INSIDER TRICK "Separate the bottom curls but taking hair spray and piecing the sections out. This way the style does not look too coiffed," adds Brophy.

THE LOOK Subtle sideswept bangs
HOW-TO Use a dime-size amount of balm or cream shine product through the hair, and to smooth the bangs slightly to the side. Blow-dry bangs and the rest of the hair with a paddle brush-a round brush will give too much of a voluminous look.
INSIDER TRICK Stylist Marco Maranghello says, "If you have thick hair use a cream shining product and if you have thin hair like Reese's, use a balm. A cream-based product for shine is too heavy on thin hair."

THE LOOK Full waves
HOW-TO Blow-dry hair with a medium-size round brush. When dry, use a one-and-a-half-inch curling iron to vertically curl sections of hair around the entire head. Rake fingers through the curls to get Reese’s natural-looking wave.
INSIDER TRICK “This works best on hair that hits at chin-level, has long layers and lots of soft wave,” says stylist Jim Wayne.

THE LOOK Unfussy half-up hair
HOW-TO "Start with clean, damp hair so hair has movement and high shine," says Bumble and bumble stylist Michele Fiona. Spritz hair with prep lotion to create a workable hold, then blow-dry hair using a large round brush, curling the ends slightly under. "Then take two sections of hair by the forehead, twist gently and secure with a pin the same color as hair," says Fiona. "Finish with a light coat of medium-hold hairspray."
INSIDER TRICK "Don't completely saturate hair with product, as this will discourage body and fullness," says Fiona. "This look is all about flirty movement."

THE LOOK Shiny long curls
HOW-TO Start by drying the bangs. "Always do your bangs first before the rest of the head," says stylist Guy Riggio of L.A.'s John Frieda Salon. Follow with a rough blow-dry on the rest of the head. When dry, use a large-barrel curling iron to wrap sections horizontally. Start just above the ear and wrap the curling iron under and hold for ten seconds. Tuck the hair behind the ear on the parted side, and finish with a coat of hairspray.
INSIDER TRICK After you finish curling the hair, gently pick up each curl and shake it out a bit to give more fullness and separation.

THE LOOK Bob with long bangs
HOW-TO “Start by blow-drying hair with a round brush to achieve a classic blow dry,” says Neil Weisberg, co-owner of L.A.’s Neil George salon. “Then add a small amount of shine or wax product and use a straightening iron to slightly angle the ends inward.”
INSIDER TRICK “If you straighten the hair at the root with the flat iron, it will go too flat,” says Weisberg.

THE LOOK Flippy shag
HOW-TO Let hair air-dry. Use a three-inch round brush to smooth out dry hair. Finish hair by using a little wax to help flip the ends with your fingertips.
INSIDER TRICK The smaller the round brush, the more curl, so use a big brush to create the little light flip.

THE LOOK Piled curls
HOW-TO Stylist Paul Labrecque created this look by putting his style foam on wet hair and then diffusing it. “I then used a medium-barrel iron to set the hair and then pinned the curls to the head,” Labrecque says. He finished with hairspray.
INSIDER TRICK When pinning up the curls, pull the hair up high and hold with one hand while you use the other hand to randomly pin hair around the head.

THE LOOK Rounded bob
HOW-TO Smooth relaxing balm over wet hair from roots to ends, and comb through to ensure every strand is saturated, says celebrity stylist Juan Carlos Maciques of N.Y.C.'s Rita Hazan Salon. Blow-dry straight with a Mason Pearson flat brush. "This gives a polished look without resorting to a flat iron," Maciques says. Finish by tucking one side behind the ear and set with light hairspray.
INSIDER TRICK If you have unruly hair, consider having it chemically relaxed to make the most of this sleek bob.

THE LOOK Top-curled short ‘do
HOW-TO Apply volumizer to the roots and comb through the hair. Blow-dry hair with a medium-size round brush, says Sebastian Professional stylist Thomas Dunkin. When done, take a one-inch curling iron and roll sections back away from the face, holding the iron horizontally and gently pulling the iron down out of the curl. Secure with a coat of hairspray.
INSIDER TRICK This look works best on hair like Rihanna’s, which is cut short with longer pieces on top.

THE LOOK Rolled front short cut
HOW-TO “After washing, blow-dry hair using a round brush,” says stylist Harry Josh. “It’s important to use the brush like a roller and brush it backwards. Finish the look by using a gel and strong hold hairspray (like Luxurious Volume All-Out Hold) to hold the style.”
INSIDER TRICK “For Rihanna’s cut, ask your stylist to go short on the sides and back and long and heavy in the front,” says Josh.

THE LOOK High Graduated Bob
HOW-TO Ask your stylist to cut the hair in long pieces around the entire head (as opposed to a pixie cut). This is an easy wash-and-go style, but bangs should be blown-dry, using the fingers as a rake to pull them straight while you dry them.
INSIDER TRICK This style deserves a coat of shine spray.

THE LOOK Full and straight
HOW-TO Stylist Robert Vetica applied MoroccanOil to wet hair and blew it out using a large round brush. When hair was dry, he used Tresemme heat protectant spray and then curled hair with a one-inch iron "to give it a slight bend on the ends," says Vetica.
INSIDER TRICK If you have a strong hairline like Hayek's, and want to redirect it more easily, Vetica says to use gel.

THE LOOK Shoulder-length with center part
HOW-TO Add volumizing mousse to the roots and let hair air-dry. Once dry, part hair in the middle, tease it at the crown and smooth the ends with a serum.
INSIDER TRICK A part that only goes part way back is less severe than a full-length one.
