Celebrity Hairstyle 2012

 1. Angled Bob: As seen on Jennifer Aniston

   If there's any hair justice, Aniston's 'lob' (or long bob) will end up being more imitated than the 'Rachel'. This is one of the new classics.

   Is the angled bob right for you?

   It's chic & super flattering thanks to all the length in the front & it can soften a strong jaw like Jen's or thin out a round face.

   So how to make sure your hairstylist mimics this hairstyle exactly?? Follow these directions:

1. The term 'lob' is hardly exact, so be clear about your desired length: or better yet, bring a photo to your salon appointment.
2. Reiterate a few points: ask for piece-y layers that are longer in the front.
3. Make sure they start cutting around the face. That way, you can decide on an angle & if you want to go shorter, you still have that option.

   For a smooth look, run a styling lotion through damp hair, blow-dry with a round brush & finish with a little pomade.

   2. Blunt Cut: As seen on Jessica Alba

   Does a hairdo have to be cutting-edge to get my attention?? Hardly. Jessica Alba's is almost vintage. This isn't chopped into at all, it's a classic, beautiful shape that falls perfectly, with just a few long layers around your face.

   Is the blunt cut right for you?

   This shape works on any face & is best for fine, straight hair. With thick or curly textures, it can end up looking frumpy.

   To add body, prep damp hair with a volumizing product that also provides protection from heat styling. Flip the head upside down & blow-dry roughly to remove about 90% of the moisture, then finish styling right side up with a round brush.

   3. Textured Bob: As seen on Scarlett Johansson

   Like her pillow-y mouth & hourglass curves, Johansson's messy, just-rolled-out-of-bed bob is pure bombshell. 

   To get this look, ask your stylist to chop up & razor the ends & to check the length so it swings freely above the shoulders.

   Is the textured bob right for you?

   This cut looks good on those with medium or wavy hair & any face shape.

   To play up the texture add volumizing mousse to damp hair & let it air-dry. Touch up random sections with a curling iron & finish with a hair spray.

   4. Long Boho Layers: As seen on Mila Kunis

   Whether beaching it in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, stalking ballerinas in Black Swan or caught out by paparazzi, Mila Kunis always looks effortlessly sexy.

   Are long boho layers right for you?

   This type of cut is very versatile. It's great on all but the finest hair.

   To get this look, no matter what your texture (wavy, straight or curly) make sure that your stylist snips away at the ends of each layer, so they're wispy & a bit rough, otherwise, the cut will lose its soft, seductive quality.

   5. Classic Long Layers: As seen on Kate Middleton

   If I had to choose between marrying a prince & having Kate Middleton's hair, I might just pick the mane. The cut itself is simple: just classic, long layers with some framing around the face. 

   To get this look, ask your stylist for exactly that & specify that the layers also be chunky & thick at the ends. The bounce & lift come from styling.

   Prep hair with a polishing cream or serum, blow your hair out with a round brush & then use hot or Velcro rollers to give it volume.

   Are classic long layers right for you?

   Women with medium to thick hair (either wavy or straight) look best with a cut like this, since it thins out your natural texture.
