Even with hairstyles, Cate Blanchett is highly versatile! Her low chignon updo was loosened at the sides making it appear like a faux bob. Her bangs were swept to the side, brushing her right eyebrow and falling flat on her cheek. It is such a soft hairstyle that worked well with her pale pink makeup and Givenchy gown of the same hue.

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.

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.

Side-swept hairstyle can make anyone look lovely; in Charlotte Casiraghi’s case, it’s lovelier.
How-to: Swirl 2-inch strands along the barrel of a hot curling iron. Mist a large-toothed comb with some hairspray with light hold before you glide it through your hair to break out the curls. For a little surprise at the back and to force the style to stay in one side, twist your hair starting at the back of your right ear all the way to the nape. Make it stay put by adding a glitzy clip.

A simple bun hairstyle can be prettified with a long tendril to one side. This is an easy peasy type of coif and can be done in five minutes or less…guaranteed! First, do a side part then separate a section (about three inches will do) of your hair in front. Gather the rest of your hair into a low or high ponytail and tie with elastic. Twist the ends of the pony into a tight bun and hold using bobby pins or a spiral pin. Twist the section of your hair all around a hot curling wand, count to five (with the 1,000, please) then release. Done!

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.

This style is simple enough to do during an early morning rush to the office or to do some errands but the outcome is still mighty fine! Fine, curly, wavy, coarse – any texture will work great for Bianca Balti’s unkempt knot with voluminous top. To lift the crown, give it a little gentle backcombing and some volumizing mousse. Loosely gather your hair into a bun allowing baby strays to flow freely at the sides.

Can we get a ‘hell yeah!’ for Kate Bosworth’s ultra cool faux mohawk braided updo? Whoever said ‘hawks can’t be used for formal occasions is wrong. This is so much easier than it looks! Seriously.
How-to: Create three sections – middle (thickest), left, and right. French braid the middle from the top until the nape. Once you reach the nape, gather the left and right sections along with the middle part into a ponytail. Slice the ends of the ponytail in half and braid each until the ends then tie with elastic. Flip the braided left section on top, bend the end to hide the elastic then secure with pins. Do the same to the right braided section. Secure the middle portion with clips if needed to keep them still.

Dakota Johnson has been getting a lot of buzz as of late for being crowned ’Anastasia Steele’. But here at CFH it’s this intricate bun that she sported at the 2013 LACMA Art + Film Gala that’s getting swooned at.
Want it? First, create a half up then twist it at the back instead of tying it with elastic. Put a few pins to hold it. Get the ends of the half up you created out of the way by flipping it over. Gather the rest of your hair into a tight low bun and secure with pins. Get the ends of the half up then swirl it around the bun and put pins all around.

We love this ‘do! It’s very sophisticated and truly exhibits high glam except for the bobby pins. Ditch the bobby pins when you recreate this hairstyle. The pins are there to set the style after you’ve spritzed some hairspray. Do a swift blow dry over your mane to set the style further then gently remove the pins. Applying gel before working on your hair will make everything way easier. Try it!

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.
