Candace Cameron Bure’s curly updo with a voluminous top is a fun hairstyle that can be used for proms or weddings. Let the ends of your hair hang loose after doing a French twist. For a messier look, scrunch the ends lightly. For fuller faces, make sure that the sides are polished to slenderize the cheeks and the lower half of the face.

Sleek, long hairstyle is a classic favored by many women for its flattering effects. Subtle layers will add interest to this look. If your preference is to lessen the bulk and make the cut fall down nicely, layers can be started at shoulder length. To give face angle and depth, it is best to start the layers above chin length. Razor cutting the edges will give the hairstyle a softer look as well.

Side-swept hairstyle can make anyone look lovely; in Charlotte Casiraghi’s case, it’s lovelier.
How-to: Swirl 2-inch strands along the barrel of a hot curling iron. Mist a large-toothed comb with some hairspray with light hold before you glide it through your hair to break out the curls. For a little surprise at the back and to force the style to stay in one side, twist your hair starting at the back of your right ear all the way to the nape. Make it stay put by adding a glitzy clip.

A beehive hairstyle is always a delight to see. It has a dash of eccentricity but is still unmistakably elegant. Instead of doing a centrally even beehive that will make the Coneheads swoon, Archie Panjabi opted for a slightly tilted version. Not too shabby, we say. Create a large bun under that pouf to make your beehive extra large. Tease your hair gently from the roots and use a hairspray with a super strong hold to make the coif last.

Dakota Johnson has been getting a lot of buzz as of late for being crowned ‘Anastasia Steele’. But here at CFH it’s this intricate bun that she sported at the 2013 LACMA Art + Film Gala that’s getting swooned at.
Want it? First, create a half up then twist it at the back instead of tying it with elastic. Put a few pins to hold it. Get the ends of the half up you created out of the way by flipping it over. Gather the rest of your hair into a tight low bun and secure with pins. Get the ends of the half up then swirl it around the bun and put pins all around.

Ugly Betty no more! America Ferrera has really transformed into a sophisticated swan over the years! Wow! We love her in this half up, half down hairstyle with a voluminous crown. A half up ‘do has that adolescent touch but by creating a dramatic poof on top the hairstyle immediately becomes more grown-up. Give your hair some much needed gloss by applying serum before giving it a good blowout.
