Celebrity Hair Styles - Dark Brown

Dark brown hair that isn't quite almost-black is better for tan or olive skin.  Pale and cool colorings are better going for the almost-black shades. 

Browse through some hairstyles according to color, and ordered by length. 

Best For - Again, this works better for natural curls or waves.

Color - Dark brown

Another of Halle's cropped looks; this one is a little shorter but still with enough length to allow the hairs curls to show.

For Halle's hair type, this is a simple style to create.  Run some wax through the hair with your fingers, while it's dry, separating the curls and adding some definition to the natural curls.

Seen At - Katie sported this round bob style in early 2009

For the cut it's best to take a picture to your hairdresser so they know exactly what you're looking for.

This bob also looks good with natural waves and texture but for Katie's super sleek look, create a deep side part and apply a little styling mousse to damp hair.

Blow-dry with a medium-size round brush - boosting the height at the top, straightening the length, then turning under ever so slightly at the bottom for a neat finish.

For a super-polished touch, use some smoothing balm to dab down any frizzy hairs - not to much though or it might look a little greasy.

Cheryl's look as of late-2009 when she ditched her long extensions in favour of this fresher tousled look.

Color - Dark Brown

Suits - Most face shapes

To style this look needs lots of texture so add some volumising mousse or spray to the roots of damp hair.

Apply to medium-large sized velcro rollers, rolling up to the roots for volume. For some extra curl and kick at the ends you might also want to use a curling iron to curl some sections - holding the tongs for about 10 seconds to lock the wave in place.

Once dry, gently remove the rollers and secure your new waves and curls with hairspray.

First, create your curls using a medium-large hot-rollers, taking them right up to the roots.  Don't worry about trying to get a perfect finish to them, since they'll be getting pinned up anyway.

After creating your curls, collect all your hair and tie it in a high ponytail - don't make it too tight though, you still want volume and movement at the roots.

Take sections of the ponytail and loosely pin them up around the base ponytail, and onto the  back of the head.  Again, don't worry about trying to get a perfect finish.  You can see in Gemma's pic she has a few loose sprigs and ends.

Once you're happy everything is secure, finish with a light mist of hairspray.

Gemma kept it low-key for her premiere, going for a simple but glossy ponytail look.

Creating this style should be simple if your hair is naturally straight but if not, applying some shine-enhancing balm or serum and blow-dry - especially at the roots.

Make a slight centre parting then gather the hair into a ponytail that's just above ear height - it was nothing flashy for Gemma to secure it in place; she used a band that matched her hair color.

You don't have to worry about the ends of the ponytail - Gemma's hair is mainly smooth but she does have some slight waves and curls in her ponytail.

Finish using some smoothing serum to go over any frizzes or flyaway hairs at the roots, sides etc.

At the National TV Awards in January 2010 Cheryl wore up her cute cut in a glam up-do.

Best For - Mid-length or layered hair to give the perfect length of loose curls at the front.

Color - Dark Brown

To get the look tong your hair all the way around, doing it by about one-inch sections at a time.

Now take your curls (leaving a few loose at the front) and use hairpins to grip them up into a bun. This is a glam look but not too precise or fussy, it's okay if a few parts are a little messy or loose as the bun doesn't need to be really neat.

Finish with a good spritz of hairspray.

Creating her gorgeous look, Ashley was styled by Ted Gibson, who began by applying Ted Gibson Hairsheet all over Ashley’s damp hair, to give it volume and shine. 

Next, he used a brush, dividing the hair into 1 ½ inch sections before using a flat iron to create soft waves.

He created a deep side part, then pulled all her hair to one side, securing it with a bungee elastic, before twisting the hair onto itself to create a chignon look. 

A spray of Ted Gibson Beautiful Hold Hairspray finished her look.

Mila's lovely Oscar up-do was created by Tresseme stylist Mara Roszak, who gave Talking Make-Up a quick guide on recreating Mila's look.

First run some Tresemme Naturals Mousse to wet hair and rough dry it before creating a parting on one side.

Use a one-inch barrel curling iron to wave the hair away from the face.  Separate the waves by running your fingers through them.

Pull the hair on the larger side of the parting out to sweep over one eye and tuck the ends over the ears.

Pull the rest of the hair back into a loose chignon at the nape of the neck, keeping it in place with some hairpins.

Finish the look with Tresemme Naturals Finishing Spray which should provide the style with lovely soft hold.

The Look - Full-bodied waves

Styled by Adir Abergel, Jennifer's hair was first prepped with Fekkai Advanced Full Blown Volume Lifting Hairspray applied at the roots.

Jennifer's fringe was blow-dried with a round brush, but the rest of her hair was then dried using the hands rather than a brush; creating texture and bringing out any natural waves.

Once dry, use a one-inch curling iron to curl the hair out for the direction of the face while leaving the ends straight or with their natural wave - doing this right around the head.

Once curled, Adir mixed Fekkai Coiff Oceanique Tousled Wave Spray with Fekkai Coiff Magnifique Ultra-Light Finishing Creme and applied it to the ends with his hands, to create a tousled look.

Finally, for all-evening hold, he used Fekkai Coiff Sheer Hold Hairspray across the whole style.

For this look, Mila was again styled by Mara Roszak, who began by appling Tresemme 24 Hour Body Foaming Mousse to Mila's wet hair.

After creating a slightly off-center parting, she blew dry the hair with a medium-sized round brush.

Mara then sectioned off Mila's hair, and used a one-inch barrel curling iron to create her gorgeous curls. When finished, she broke them up a little with her fingertips for a more natural look.

The look was complete with a spray of TressemeTres Two Extra Hold Hair Spray.

Megan's gorgeous GG look was created by hairstylist Andy Lecompte.

He started by applying Phyto Professional Volume Mousse to Megan's hair before blow drying.

Her hair was then set using a 3/4-inch barrel curling iron and then pin curls.

Once the pin curls were released, he brushed out the hair using a Sheila Stotts detangling brush and created Megan's deep side parting.

A dab of Oribe Gel Serum was then applied with the fingertips and the hair was styled into place.

In late 2009 Nicole went back to her natural brunette color and at a signing for her Winter Kate clothing range in February 2010 she rocked a fab wavy boho-chic look.

Nicole's colorist, George Papanikolas, told In Style that her new shade wasn't exactly an overnight impulse. "We have gradually been going darker over the last few months—from blonde, to dark ash blonde, then brown with golden tips and finally this rich sable brown."

For the cut print out this pic and take it to your hairdresser or ask for a cut with long, soft layers and a full, feathered fringed.

To style mist damp hair with some texturizing spray, if you hair has natural waves this look should be pretty easy - just run you fingers through, but if you have straight hair create the care-free waves with a small curling iron and break up the curls with your fingers. Don't be too precise or worry that some parts are wavier than others when creating your curls - it's all the better for a natural look.

Finish with a spritz of hairspray.

For this glossy look, first apply some shine-enhancing products into freshly-washed hair.

Part the hair slightly in the middle, and blow-dry using a paddle brush - avoid using a round brush as that would give this look unnecessary height.

After blow-drying use some curling irons to create the gorgeous ringlets.  Take sections of hair, roughly about 2-inches at a time - and hold the iron vertically as you wrap the hair around - going up to about ear-height.  Hold for around 15 seconds before releasing.

Once you've curled all the way around; brush the hair at the top of the head smooth and gather a small section at the centre of the back of the head, securing with a clip of your choice -  as plain or as fancy as you like.

Finish with a little mist of L'Oreal Flexible Hold Hairspray to help keep the curls in place.

Starting with freshly-washed hair, towel-dry till it's damp, then spritz on some shine spray.

Blow-dry with a large round brush, creating some volume at the roots and crown.

Create your parting and gently backcomb the the crown for a little height at the back.

For those tumbling curls use large hot rollers, wrapping them up to about ear height and away from the direction of the face.  Let the rollers cool as you go some the curl will hold.

Suits - Almost any face shape

Seen At - The Comic-Con in July 2011

For Nina's gorgeous glossy look, first spray on some shine spray to damp hair before blow-drying with a round brush.

If you have curly hair try Moroccanoil Treatment which is great for natural curls and adds shine too.

Towards the ends of the hair, use the brush to add some movement and turn the hair out but if that doesn't provide you with quite enough curl use some large barrelled curling irons on wide sections, adding some subtle curl and bounced out shape.

Create your side part and sweep all hair to one side for Nina's complete look.

For a smooth, polished looking base like Jessica's, first blow-dry your hair using a paddle brush.*

Create a deep side-part on whichever side you prefer and sweep all hair across to one side.

Leave some hair loose to frame the face, then braid the rest into a wide plait before securing at the end with a hair elastic.

This is a great look but isn't too pristine , so don't worry too much if your plait has loose sprigs etc.  Jessica's has them but she still looks great.

*If your hair is naturally straight you might not feel the need to do this.
