Celebrity Hairstyles

Celebrities have on-call stylists to make their locks look shampoo-commercial perfect every time they leave the house. And while we can’t all have someone spend hours brushing, curling and styling our hair just so we can look fab at the gas station, we can cop some of the stars’ strand secrets. All it takes is a few well-chosen tools (available in down-to-earth price ranges) and some photographic inspiration to get ‘dos that are paparazzi ready.

| Amy Adams
Add some old Hollywood glamor to your look by copying Amy’s jumbo curls. Tuck and pin longer locks under for a faux bob like Amy’s, or, if your hair is shoulder length or shorter, simply focus on creating giant ringlets. |
Rusk Gleam Lusterizing Cream $12 Start by coating wet hair with a dollop of smoothing cream to fight frizz. For this look, it’s best to skip shine boosters with silicone, since bouncy curls call for something weightless. Rusk Gleam Lusterizing Cream adds shine and detangles without leaving hair greasy. |
Ceramic & Ion Anti-Static Paddle Brush $16 Next, blow hair dry, curving the ends under with a big, flat paddle brush like Olivia Garden’s Ceramic & Ion Anti-Static version. The goal is to get hair smooth, straight and prepped for big-time curls. |
Hot Tools Professional 2” Spring Curling Iron $35 Finish the look off by wrapping large sections of hair around the fattest curling iron you can find. Hot Tools Professional makes a 2-inch spring curling iron that creates oversized curls like Amy’s without having to fire up those time-sucking sponge rollers. |

| Zooey Deschanel Zooey’s retro updo works just as well for date night as it does on the red carpet. The quirky little add-ons you choose (think feathers, flowers or studded headbands) let you control how dressy the ‘do is. |
TRESemme Volumizing Mousse $5 This look requires tons of volume at the crown, so treat roots with a healthy dose of TRESemme volumizing mousse before blow drying. |
Swissco Tortoise Tail Comb $10 Once hair is dry, create a half ponytail and tease hair at the crown in one-inch sections, using swift, short comb strokes toward the scalp. A teasing comb like Swissco’s Tortoise tail comb will give your bump volume without creating frizz. |
Marc by Marc Jacobs Bobby Pins $38 Once your half pony is secure, add a bit of bling for a finishing touch. Marc Jacobs’ bobby pins add just the right amount of sparkle and whimsy to this easy updo. |

| Katie Holmes Sometimes the short, unfussy style is the hardest to achieve, but mom-on-the-go Katie has her luminous look down to a shiny science. |
MOP Glisten Shine Drops $12.50 Katie’s sleek hair is mirror-like in its shininess. Smoothing a drop of a shine serum with aloe, like MOP Glisten Shine Drops, will make your hair nearly reflective. |
Sephora’s Bamboo Boar Brush $34 A natural-bristle brush like Sephora’s Bamboo Boar brush is a short-haired girl’s best friend. With such limited follicular real estate, every little flyaway stands out, but this brush fights frizz, static and pesky stand-out strands, leaving locks looking lustrous. |
HAI Elite Digital Ionic Ceramic Tong $135 Part flat iron and part jumbo curler, the HAI Elite Digital Ionic Ceramic Tong is the ideal heat-styling tool for women with shoulder-length and shorter hair. You get the glossy straight strands with a perfect amount of flip at the ends. And since this iron is tourmaline, it preserves the natural oils and moisture that most plug-in hair styling tools can fry. |
