A messy bouffant updo works great on round-shaped faces such as Sarah Hyland’s. Rough dry hair or use a diffuser – focusing on the roots – for good volume. Slightly tease the front and crown before doing a tight chignon. The lifted top and flat sides will make your face look longer and more angular. Pull out a few strands using the end of a rat tail comb. Spritz a hairspray with strong hold as a final touch.

Tulisa Constostavlos is showing us how a sock bun is properly done! Respect! Like everything else, this takes patience and practice but don’t fret because we’re gonna make this one easy for you! Let’s do this! You’ll need a hair bun styler (we love Sephora’s), elastic, smooth & sleek mousse, hair brush, fine-toothed comb, and a whole lot of confidence!

Apply mousse all over hair before doing a sleek blowout. Brush your hair into a high ponytail and secure with clear elastic. Slip hair into the center opening of the hair bun styler then glide it towards the end. Carefully roll down the styler outwards and wrap it around the base of the ponytail once you reach it. Arrange your hair so that it covers the styler evenly. Smoothen out the sides and top using the comb. The end.

The side chignon has been used and abused as of late and we really can’t blame the women guilty of this. It’s an interestingly elegant alternative to a classic but humdrum (admit it) hairstyle. Part your hair to one side leaving a wide section in front. Brush the rest into a low ponytail then coil the ponytail into a chignon and secure the style with a couple of pins. If you want to make the side curls bulkier, do a deep side part.

Doesn’t Julia Ormond’s loose bouffant hairstyle remind you of Jackie O’s? Curled ends and the absence of dryness makes Julia’s version ultra modern. In order to get a good height in front, you need to apply a liberal amount of volumizing mousse. Doing this will also lessen the necessary teasing needed to make your hair go boom. Make the style last by applying a medium-hold hairspray with conditioning effect.

If you want a drastic hairstyle transformation on your next occasion without the actual haircut, fake it! Camila Alves’ romantic curly updo is shaped loose enough to appear like a bob.

How-to: Apply the SOP product to make a hairstyle last – mousse. Curl your mane using a large-barreled iron wand from the top until the ends. Do a side part then break the curls using your fingers before gathering the ends of your mane and tying it with elastic. Roll the tied ends inwards (towards the nape) and pin it. Spread your hair so that it resembles a bob. Pull the sides to loosen them further.

While everyone is still busy talking about Taylor Swift’s moving 2014 Grammys performance, we, on the other hand, are heavily fixated on the hairstyle she sported at the event. Taylor’s flirty ponytail possesses the right kind of messiness for both formal and casual wear. We love that she kept her fringe flat and swept to the side instead of giving it height. Purrrty! Now, we feel like crying.
