It is practically impossible to remain indifferent while looking at hair of as impressive length as this one. Naomi Campbell arrived at CFDA Fashion Awards 2014 wearing her extra long, dark brown mane side parted and loose. You’re craving for these gorgeous mermaid waves, dontcha? Okay then, you need cone shaped curling iron to begin with. The larger barrel the better! Wider side of the barrel should be closer to the hair roots while you are swirling hair sections spirally around it. Prepare your hair with some heat protection serum and a small amount of hair cream applied at the ends. Start with curling at nape sections, continue towards back of your head, then curl sections on both sides and finish with crown and front sections. When you are done with curling and your hair is cooled, comb it softly with paddle brush and voila!

Olivia Wilde is keeping it simple but effective with her hairstyle. Few ombre sunkissed tresses  to emphasize the volume and creating of this style can begin: her hair is parted in the middle and blow dried with paddle brush for the body and sleek effect. Few dropps of heat protection serum are applied before making these soft waves with curling iron. The key is not to curl the sections from root to ends, but instead to start rolling the hair around the barrel at the cheek bone length. after heating hold the lock in your palm until it cools a bit. Repeat the same at every section (be attentive to the curling direction!) and finish with setting the locks with your fingers.

We love her wearing any type of bangs, as this is making her glowing cat eyes even more prominent, but we have absolutely nothing against her hair being swept away from the face. On the contrary. Olivia Wilde’s long, brown hair is slightly teased at the front and on the crown for creating a soft pouf. Officially, this is not a ponytail, as her tresses are divided into sections and secured with bobby pins at the back of her head. Loose ends are treated with large barrel curling iron, resulting with bounty of cascading curls. Final touch – a mist of hairspray for lasting perfection.

Runway trend for 2014 is super sleek hair in all shapes and forms: updo, ponytail, half up and even loose. Model Natasha Poly was wearing this hairstyle at Cannes Film Festival 2014. Her hair is parted in the middle and graced with generous amount of hair creme before thorough combing towards sides and back. Her hair was then tied in a low pony tail, which was folded at 3” length and pinned at the back. Loose ends of her ponytail were then sectioned, rolled and pinned above the 3” section to form this elegant chignon. A killer combo with smokey eyes make up!

Jessica’s stunning look at Met Ball 2014 is speaking volumes about vintage 40’s being unmistakable choice if you want boost of glamour in your hair. Before rolling up to the nape into queue curl, it is of utter importance to give some body to your hair by blow drying it with round brush ( tease a bit on the crown if your hair is thin!). Here we have deep side parting and some serious action with curling iron, so do use heat protection serum. Divide your hair into sections, roll them up one by one, and secure with bobby pins at the nape. Make sure you applied generous amount of hairspray. You probably want your hair in place throughout the entire ball, instead of turning into pumpkin after midnight. Offtopic: thumbs up for those earrings!

Lets be straightforward and admit that Alessandra’s drop dead gorgeous face would look just perfect with any hairstyle. At least this one is easy to copy. A day old hair is easier to handle. Use paddle brush to collect your hair at the crown and secure your ponytail with elastic. Take 1,5” section from the tail, coil it around elastic to conceal it and secure with bobby pin. Brush your ponytail for neat finish and apply small amount of shining serum.

Cheryl Cole opted for 70’s retro glamour with her hairdo at Cannes Film Festival 2014. Despite heavy teasing on the crown required for bouffant, Cheryl’s lovely sunkissed hair is all but stiff in appearance, which is the legacy of 70’s paradigm on this hairstyle. Prior to teasing horizontal sections on the crown and back of the head, her hair was well prepared with blow drying and round brush, paying special attention to the sections around her face.  Then it was collected and tied in a low pony tail, leaving middle parted bangs loose. Pony tail was then sectioned, teased, smoothened, rolled into bun and secured with bobby pins at the nape. Hairspray is of utter importance for holding this hairdo in place.

Pop star rising Rita Oro is wearing her long ashy blond hair side parted in this hairstyle, which is latest favorite parting of many top showbiz ladies. Her very smooth and silky perfect loose  curls are simply screaming with glamor. So what’s the catch? Well, besides your usual weapons of choice like heat treatment protection spray, antifrizz serum, mousse, cream and the likes, blow dry your hair section by section directing the air flow down the shaft. Last, but most important, hold your curling iron up straight instead of horizontally while curling large sections of your hair.

Let’s go back for a moment to 20’s when this hairstyle was the expression of rebellion (against traditional long hair and complicated updos), pushing the limits and being forward in such a sophisticated way. Seems like it will never lose its elegance and glam, as even now, almost hundred years later, you can not look anything else but breathtaking and perfectly styled when wearing it. We would also add that smokey eyes makeup and red lipstick are not really optional… it is rather a must for completing the style! You do know that making fingerwaves does not include heat treatment for your hair? You did not? Ah, you are most welcome!

Summing up the total of impression and elegance, deep side parting of your long, blond mane and deep side parting with victory roll are not comparable by any chance. Extra effort applied for the latter is negligible. Credits for coolness of this hairstyle go to the contrast of single one victory roll sassiness and looseness of remaining hair. We love the idea of avoiding additional curls and waves, which is bringing a bit of edge to this look. Try it yourself: depending on your hair texture, a day old hair could be a good idea for starting point, at least when it comes to fine, thin hair. Otherwise add some hair cream. Take the whole right side section, take your bangs, take crown section all the way to the parting line, join them all together, brush them until smooth and start rolling from the ends. Direction of rolling should be from the right side towards the crown. When you reach the roots, secure the roll with bobby pins. Tuck the opposite side hair behind your ear. Fix with hairspray.

Charlize Theron could be thankful for her role in Mad Max sequel, otherwise she would hardly decide to cut her gorgeous blond locks off and we wouldn’t have the opportunity to see that Sharon Stone is not the only super glamorous blonde which is able to wear short hairstyle with such grace on the red carpet. Give your short style some body by applying small amount of mousse on dump hair and lifting it from the roots while blow drying.

With chic accessorizing, even a very easy to repeat hairdo can look absolutely amazing! Beyonce’s hair here is middle parted and wrapped in simple chignon at her nape. That which made her style redcarpetly appealing is this beaded birdcage veil. The only catch with this vintage little thing is to match it properly with what you are wearing (this Givenchy Haute Couture  is example of excellent match), so it is for very special occasions only.

It’s actually not entirely fishtail braid that makes the hairstyle Leona Lewis is wearing here. As shown on the photo from behind, there is simple, loose french braid starting from the left side and continuing over her nape. Once reaching the opposite side of her neck, her hair is weaved into slightly messy fishtail braid. If you wish to copy this style, don’t worry about few loose wisps here and there on the fishtail braid part (they are particulalry unavoidable if your long hair is cut in layers). They are part of the charm of this hairdo, so let them be. Hair section that needs special attention are side bangs! Do give them a touch of delicate blow dry and a mist of hairspray.
