A half up hairstyle plus a huge puff is still one of the best hairstyle pairings. Rolled out curls is also in vogue and very flattering. Curl your hair from the ends going up and stop midway. Use large-barreled tongs for this type of coif. Group the curls using your fingers to maintain the shape.

A top-heavy updo such as Jenna Ushkowitz’s modern beehive is a great hairstyle for fuller faces. A lifted top will make your face look slimmer. Adding loose fringe at the sides will heighten the effect further. Instead of doing a middle part such as Jenna’s, try a side part to make the face more angular.

Got a round-shaped face just like Sarah Hyland’s? Try sweeping your long tresses to one side the next time you attend a formal event! A side part will de-emphasize your face’s roundness and make it more symmetrical. Slightly elevating the crown will lengthen the appearance of your face, making the sides look slimmer.

We’ve come up with a plan for our Emilia Clarke obsession. If we can’t be BFF’s with her or her low side bun hairstyle with a heavy side part, we’ll just play copycat! Who’s with us on this one?
Here’s how: Blow dry your mane, giving it a good body as you go for better grip. Create a deep side part before swirling thin section of the lower half of your mane around a clampless curling iron for 5 seconds. Gather your hair to one side then create a very loose low ponytail. Twist the end of the ‘tail into a bun and hold with pins. Spread the sides to loosen the style further. Mist the coif with hairspray with light hold.

Renee’s long blonde straight hair is evenly sliced in the middle and the sides were tucked behind her ears. End the center part once you hit the crown area. Slightly tease the hair and shape it backwards. To make your hair smooth and sleek, apply a good straightening cream that’s non-greasy to calm frizz.

A demure hairstyle fit for royalty. Sophistication cannot be denied despite the simplicity of this middle part ponytail ‘do. Baby hairs all around the top of the forehead makes the hairstyle look relaxed. If you prefer a slightly different twist to this classic coif, braid the ends or curl them for a hip look!

Here’s an interesting twist to a low ponytail courtesy of actress Rose McIver. Avoid an unsightly dent to your locks due to elastic by going without! This style will be a breeze for women with thin hair with natural waves.
How-to: Apply a texturizing mousse before drying hair. Tease the front and crown a little for a good lift. Divide hair into two sections – upper (thicker section) and lower. Twist the lower section loosely and secure the base with pins all around. Slick out the sides as you gather the upper section at the back; make sure that it’s close enough to the lower section. Attach the upper section to the lower part using U pins. Set the coif with hairspray.

Sweeping your hair with uniformed waves to one side will give you serious style points! Banish the staleness of this well-copied ‘do by brushing the front up (we’re calling this the ‘gnarly lift’ due to its resemblance to the gigantic water waves) for a good amount of fierce factor! To make sure that the style will stay, spritz the back with hairspray and add an ornately designed hair clip.

Backcomb your way into an unmistakably lovely vintage hairstyle on your next party! Hannah Simone’s loose bouffant with side-swept bangs is truly a hairstyle winner! Gone are the days of helmet-like bouffant with a parched finish. An updated version features bounce, sheen and softness.
Second day hair works best when creating this hairstyle. Apply a texturizing mousse on top and in front that’s alcohol-free so as not to dry out your tresses. Do a good blowout (lifting from the roots) with lots of body. Tease the top portion of your hair, spritz with hairspray then blow dry. Shape the bouffant as well as the bangs.

Helena Christensen still looks every bit the supermodel that she is in her 40’s! A shoulder length hairstyle with layers and fringe is one of the best haircut for women in their 40’s. A hairstyle that’s longer than this will weigh down the face and make the wearer look older than their actual age. Uncomplicated layers and bangs add freshness to the cut and a youthful touch. If this hairstyle works with your hair texture (thick with natural soft waves), go for it!

No time for the conventional way? Apply mousse or a styling cream with real holding power all over your mane before curling your hair using medium-sized hot rollers. Remove the rollers after 15-20 minutes then allow hair to cool. Use a large brush to shape curls according to your preference. Use a hairspray after for a lasting style.
