See how a top-heavy styled haircut makes Rinko Kikuchi’s face look slimmer? The spiked out crown and bangs elongates the face and minimizes the width of the jawline. Punk haircuts works best on oval-shaped faces, but you can still pull off this ferocious style even if you have a different facial structure as evidenced by Rinko.

Japanese actress, Rinko Kikuchi dons a blunt bob at the premier of “Map of the Sound of Tokyo” at the 62nd Annual Cannes Film Festival. A blunt bob will look fine on square or round-shaped faces as long as the ends are cut below the chin. Try this cut if you have fine, straight strands such as Rinko’s.

Marcel waves are not as obvious in black hair as it is in lighter shades, so you have to do some extra effort in making the dents stand out. The best way to do this is by making your hair extra glossy and creating deeper waves. Apply a liberal amount of styling gel and allow wave clamps to stay longer than usual. Be careful when doing an updo like Zhang Ziyi’s so as not to straighten the waves.

Zhang Yuqi exudes old world charm in this vintage chignon at “The Great Gatsby” premiere in Cannes. Your best friend for this type of hairstyle is none other than a really good styling product. A gel with a vice-like grip will do the trick.
Create a side part first then section hair into three (right, left and middle) after applying gel all over. Twist the middle portion into a tight chignon, applying pins as you go. Roll the left section inwards and secure with a pin. Style the right section in deep waves using large duckbill aluminum hair clips. Do three large waves, pushing the first wave forward towards the face. Set the style with hairspray. Once hair has hardened, remove the clips.
