Vanessa Hudgens’ messy beachwaves styled in a half updo is a good alternative for formal occasions. To glam up the look, opt for an embellished clip instead of a simple elastic band to secure the pony. The waves should look natural and effortless. Spritz some sea salt spray to your mane before you style it for sexy volume and texture.

Half Filipina stunner, Vanessa Minnillo, mirrors Bardot in this bouffant half up hairstyle at the Chanel Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Arts in New York. The trick in giving your hair some poof is by prepping it first with root volumizing mousse. This will give the roots a lot of boost and extra hold. Blow dry as usual and backcomb the crown and sides afterwards. Gather 3-5” section of hair on top and secure it with pins or a thin barrette.

Actress Liza Lapira is sporting a flirty and carefree curly hairstyle at the Las Vegas premiere of ‘21’. The sheen makes the curls look extra bouncy and soft! Make your hair come alive before styling it by applying hair mask once a month and by using a conditioner first before you shampoo your hair. This technique will create a barrier between the shampoo and the cuticle making the strands and scalp less dry.

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.

Wavy bob hairstyle is one of our 2013 ultimate hair crush! It’s very flattering and low-maintenance, not to mention chic! For round-shaped face such as Nicole Anderson, ask your stylist to do slight razored edges to remove the bulk surrounding the face. The ends should hover below the chin to de-emphasize the lower part of the face’s width.

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.

We are kinda obsessed with Israeli actress Noa Tishby’s full, bouncy tresses in gorgeous dark copper hue – and yes, her beautiful face as well. For mere mortals like us, extra work is needed to make our manes look this good. Start with a volumizing shampoo followed by a root-lifting spray. After you’ve dried your hair thoroughly, curl sections using large (1.5”) hot curlers. Once your hair has cooled, apply a thickening spray. Result? Fantabulous big hair!
