Talk about extremes! Mrs. Kobe Bryant added a few thin platinum streaks to her lustrous black locks. Sparsely placed highlights will add dimension and enliven your hair. Ask your pro colorist to place blonde strips on specific areas only. More than what’s necessary will result in an illuminating effect. Avoid huge chunks as well so as not to look all ‘skunky’.

Re-‘do: Evenly part the hair in the center and do a low ponytail on each section. French braid the right side until the end then tie with elastic to secure it. Do the same thing to the left side. Bring the two plaits from the sides all the way to the top, intertwine both before securing them with pins.

It’s the hippie, hippie chic! Melanie Fiona channels a hippie chick in a loose, long layered hairstyle with a narrow elastic band. This is a more refined version of the 70’s hairstyle, actually; sleek, straight and perfectly brushed hair with nary a strand out of place. To make your hair behave and gleam, add a pea-sized amount of smoothening serum before a blowout (for coarse hair) or after (for fine hair). Force a subtle bouffant by forcing your headband upward.

All hail the grandmomma of pompadours, ladies! The right kind of texture and lots of volumizing products will make a pumped up coif achievable. Got naturally curly hair? Apply mousse all over hair, scrunch it then blow dry. Slice your hair in the middle to create an even parting. Brush the right side going up then roll the top towards the center and pin. Do the same on the other side. Mist with hairspray to hold the style.

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.

Just make sure that it matches your hair color very well or at least a shade darker or lighter.

Glee star Melissa Benoist showcases a super loose side bun hairstyle. The casual ‘do features rogue hairs that’s tucked behind her right ear and a side-swept fringe. The best hair length for this look is medium. This will allow the loose ends to fall out of the bun in a relaxed manner without looking overly disproportionate the way long strands does. Tease the crown a little to add just a tad bit of drama to the style.

Janelle Monáe’s attention-grabbing trademark coif is not something you can use every day, but you can’t deny the fact that this hairstyle commands respect! First of all, it’s uber cool and it takes gut (and the right kind of facial structure – she’s gorgeous!) to pull this off.
Planning to? Apply a liberal amount of hair mousse before creating a high French twist. Make sure that the sides are slicked out really well. Tease the front for maximum volume and mold it into a sleek pompadour. Be generous with your pins to make the style last. Finish off with a hairspray.

Boyish, cute and even sexy – that’s pixie for ‘ya! The traditional pixie cut – as seen here on Victoria Summer – hugs the scalp flat and sheared with feathery light layers all around. The fringe is cut mid-forehead and swept to the side. The best texture for a close-cropped hairstyle is fine with subtle natural waves; this will make the cut fall perfectly without much effort from the wearer. Don’t fret if you don’t belong to that category because there are hair products that can make you achieve a killer styled pixie every single day!

No matter how sultry long wavy tresses may appear, adding brow-length blunt bangs can make the overall look just a tad bit cute! Women who are born with super straight strands are the best candidates for this dynamic fringe. Those with coarse, naturally wavy or curly hair can still go for a straight across cut but a little effort is needed in order to make them behave. You can go for blunt if you have these three fundamental things: blow dryer, a large boar brush and a serum.

Domestic goddess Nigella Lawson sporting a medium hairstyle with large curls that’s very much appropriate for women her age. To lessen the bulk and avoid the triangle effect that curls will give to a one-length cut, layers should be added all around. Nigella’s curls have remained bouncy and silky. To imitate the look, apply a shine serum while your hair is still damp to lock in the moisture on each strand.

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.

Blunt bangs can instantly glam up a hairstyle but it can require extra amount of care for heavily textured hair. Daniella Pineda’s fine hair is a great candidate for blunt bangs. Little effort – to zero – is needed in making it behave and look good always. It’s a very cute look when paired with a mid-back ponytail just like Daniella’s.

A messy high bun is a quick and easy hairstyle to glam up your ensemble. Women with naturally curly or wavy hair will have a much easier time in doing this hair. If you don’t belong to that group, make your life easier by applying a texturizing mousse while your hair is still damp. Rough dry your hair then backcomb the crown. Gather your hair into a high ponytail and tie with elastic. Tease the ends of the pony before doing a large bun. Lift the front to create a mini bouffant using the end of a rat tail comb.
