Celebrity Hair Styles - Medium Length

Suits - High foreheads.  Best on oval or long shaped faces.

Begin by applying some frizz-ease serum to hair while it's damp to help add shine and reduce frizz, of course.

Blow-dry the hair straight using a large round brush to add some volume at the roots, slightly turn out the ends, and cup the fringe under.

Running a ceramic straightening iron over the lengths will also help add shine and create Emmanuelle's super sleek look but if you feel your result from blow-drying is already straight enough, it's not essential.

Applying a little smoothing serum is another great finishing touch which will help add shine and will take away any frizzes.

Colour - Ice Blonde; Paris also has some brown streaks at the bottom which are possibly temporary

Suits - Almost every face shape.

This is one of the easiest looks to get but it's hard to maintain if your hair is curly, or even wavy, as it requires straightening every day.

Ask your hair dresser for a shoulder length cut, with a long side sweeping fringe.

To style straighten if your hair is curly, or blow-dry straight.

Finish with a nice girly touch like Paris's head band.

Seen at - The Extraordinary Measures Premiere in January 2010

Suits - Square, long and oval shaped faces best

Color - Honey blonde base with lighter baby blonde highlights throughout and framing the face.

Best For - Thicker hair; fine hair may not hold the volume and height so well unless it's very dry or helped with a lot of hairspray.

Start with smooth, kink-free hair and section off the part at the front so you can work on the top to creating Jessica's beehive-like volume.

On the back section, backcomb the hair from the roots upwards using a fine toothed comb.

Once you have the volume gently smooth down the hair, gather at the back and pin it up with some hairpins or grips.

Smooth the front part of hair into your desired place and cover the whole style, especially the bun, with lots of hairspray to hold everything in place.

January's hairstylist for the event, Mark Townsend, began by applying mousse to January's wet hair then blow-dried it.

He created her side-parting and spritzed on some heat protection spray before wrapping sections around a medium-sized curling iron - going up to about eye height.

The curls were pinned to the head to allow them to cool and set.

Once released, he brushed through the curls and finished January's styles with lacquer spray for extra shine and hold.

For this pretty look, start by working some styling

Categories - Curly Hair, Golden Blonde, Heart Shaped Face Styles, Long Face Shape Styles, Medium Length, Mollie King, Oval Face Shape, Round Face Shape Style, Shoulder Length Hair, Waves,

Best For - Most face shapes

For this look begin with natural curls or waves; or create your own by blow-drying then using a 1-2 inch curling iron in alternating directions on your hair.

To style, create a deep side-part and sweep your hair across the front.

Tie your hair into a medium-low ponytail at the back but leave some sections loose at the side like Lea.

Twist the length of your hair up and into a loose bun around the base of the ponytail and pin into place - if a few pieces sprig out that's okay, this isn't meant to be a pristine look.

Now style your loose section with your fingers, and if you feel you need to, use the curling irons to create so extra waves.

Finish with a mist of strong-hold hairspray to secure.

The Look

Seen At - The 2009 Met Gala

For the star-studded event, Liv was styled by David Babaii.

To create the style, David used FHI HEAT Large-Barrel Curling Irons.

He created a side parting, just above the highest point of Liv's eyebrow.  He then sectioned the hair into four sections - top, nape, and one each side.

Before curling he spray some of his Volcanic Ash Root Lift onto each strand, then, after curling, he would pin each curl so it would have better hold.

Once the curls cooled, the pins were removed and the hair was brushed through with fingers.

David finished by tucking one side behind the ear then spraying with Mise en Plis Extra Hold Styling Spray.

Color- Strawberry Blonde.

Good For - Almost every type of hair.

Use a styling cream to de-frizz and make your hair smooth before blow drying. Try John Frieda Secret Agent, which Nicole loves.

If you have thick hair like Nicole's use a small-medium-sized curling iron to create your curls, but if you have fine hair use a smaller tong to create your curls.

Finally keep your curls in place with a spritz of Nicole's fave lacquer John Frieda Sheer Blonde Crystal Shine Hair Spray.

" I don't actually use a lot of product! I style it with heat and let it cool down to set it. Too many people think they need to style hair with product, and lots of it. For Taylor, I sometimes put a little Bumble and Bumble Thickening Spray on the roots to give it a little lift, seal the ends with some silicone, and I might use some Elnett Hairspray to keep it all together."

The tools he uses - "blow-dryer, round brush, curling irons, wave iron, straightener, and hands."

He also says when you what a certain style : "bring pictures!! A picture says more than a two-hour conversation. That still doesn't make it a rocker haircut though. You need to style it as a rocker too."

Best For - Round, Square or Long faces

Avoid If - Your hair is naturally curly or if you have an oval face shape

Seen - During Season 2 of Gossip Girl

For this look save then print out this pic to show your hairdressers, or ask for a haircut with a slightly feathered eye-skimming fringe and two layers, one jaw length and the longest, just below the shoulders.

To style, this requires a super straight finish for Taylor's edgy look.

Apply a frizz-ease serum to damp hair and then blow-dry with a paddle brush.

To finish, run some straighteners over your hair.

Don't worry about trying to get every hair into a perfect position, this style is better when it's a little mussed up.

For this look, first blow-dry the hair straight, and, if you need to, take a flat iron to the roots for Kate's extra smooth look.

Create a centre parting then, take small-medium sized sections of hair and wrap them up a curling-iron up (about a two-inch barrel is best) until around ear length, leaving the top completely straight.

The Look - Femme Fatale Waves

Seen at - The 2010 MET Gala

For this look it's best to start with a smooth, shiny base so apply some anti-frizz cream to damp hair and create a side-part.  Section off the front section of the larger side of the part and wrap it up around a large roller - the hair should be wrapped up facing the side, rather than the front.

Blow-drying using a brush on the rest of the hair to smooth out the lengths.

Once dry, tong the rest of the hair, taking large sections at a time and wrapping them around the barrel vertically - letting each cool after creating.

Remove the roller and position your hair into style, sweeping all the hair over to one side; using a little smoothing balm on the other, tucking it behind the ear.

This style looks product-laden but it shouldn't be; try not to use any hairspray unless you really feel like you'll need it.

The Look

Seen at - The Captain America premiere in July 2011

For this gorgeous look, your hair needs to have a lot of volume.  Apply to volumizing mousse while it's wet then blow-dry using a large round brush.

Use the brush to section of the hair at the front, and add some waves to the length at the back.

Once dry, back-comb the hair behind the front section, giving it some oomph. before securing into a high ponytail at the back.

For an extra flirty touch, use some curling irons to add a little extra kick to the loose sections at the front.

Finish with some strong-hold hairspray - especially on the volumized section - try to leave the ponytail and loose tendrils free though, as they should have a little movement.

For this look it's better to start with hair that isn't freshly-washed, so it's great style to try if your hairs a little greasy rather than just putting it into a pony.

Needs - Long hair, unless following version 2.

Create your centre parting, and pull your hair back, leaving some optional face-framing tendrils at the front.

Collect the hair at the back into a ponytail, slightly to one side of the nape, and plait it into a loose braid, securing at the end with a transparent band.

With the braid complete, wrap it up over the head, pinning into the scalp with bobby pins as you go.

Version 2 - Buy a thick braided headband, such as the Sephora Collection Thick Braided Headband, and pin it to you head the same way as you'd pin up a real one, putting your own hair into a bun at the back.

For this funky up-do look, first apply some styling cream onto freshly-washed and towel-dried hair.

Blow-dry straight with a large round brush, creating just a little volume at the roots.

Once dry, create a side parting above the arch of the eyebrow on the side of your choice.

Section off the hair that you want to curl up at the top of your head, then gather the rest at the back to create a tight French roll, securing it with bobby pins.

Unclip the sectioned off part of hair and now pin it up into a shape like Paris's, using your fingers as a guide, and using a few more bobby pins to keep this part in place.

Complete the look with a good blast of hairspray, using it not only for hold but also to dab down any fly-away or frizzy hairs.

The Look - '40s Femme Fatale

Seen At - The 2011 BAFTA Awards

For Eva's glam awards look, first apply some gloss-enhancing spray, such as L'Oreal Paris Vive Pro Glossy Style Smooth Gloss Serum, through damp hair.

Create a side-parting and place clips where you waves - on the larger side of the parting one should go above the end of the eyebrow, and one at about cheek length for Eva's look.  Tuck the other side behind the ear.

To create the curls use a large-barrelled curling iron, taking quite thick sections of hair for a non-ringlety look.

If you have the time and patience, pin the curls up to let them cool and set for about 10-15 minutes, which should ensure longer lasting style.

Finish with a mist of hairspray.

Natasha’s sleek up-do is fairly simple if you've got naturally straight hair; apply some frizz ease serum and just slick your hair back into a high ponytail and secure.

For naturally curly or wavy hair, however,  follow this guide guide -

Applying some straightening Balm to the length of the hair and blow-dry using a flat paddle brush.

Spray on some heat protection spray*, again only to the length, then use a straightening iron for Natasha's super sleek look.

Gather the hair into a high ponytail and secure with an elastic band.

*You might prefer to do this step after creating the ponytail but it's just down to whatever you find easier.

For Kate's pretty-glam look, first spritz some texturizing spray over the lengths of damp hair.

Create a center parting and blow-dry hair to create smoothness as well as a little body.

To create the waves, use some medium-sized curling irons, wrapping sections of about 1-2 inches, up to about eye height.

If you usually have problems making your curls last, try spraying the hair with a little extra texturizing spray before using the tongs.

Once the curl creating is complete, run your fingers through and scrunch them a little - don't brush them through though!

Finish with a mist some strong-hold hairspray over the curls, another step which should help them last all night.

Categories - Kate Bosworth, Medium Length, Waves,

For this look it's best to start with hair that isn't freshly-washed as it will hold a lot better when a little dirty.

Apply some texturising spray into the roots and throughout the lengths, scrunching with your hands and fingers to add or enhance natural body and waves.

Create a slight part on which ever side you prefer, then on the smaller side, create a French plait going down past the ear and round to the back of the head where you can pin it into place.*

Leave a few tendrils loose around the face but gather the rest of your hair back into a low ponytail (*incorporate any extra length you might have after creating the plait into this) below the plait.

Twist the ponytail up into a tight bun, using a few more pins to keep it in place.

Once you feel everything at the back is secure, move back to the loose tendrils.  If you feel they need a little more wave, taking one at a time, spray on some more texturising spray and wrap around your finger or use a medium-large curling iron to boost the shape.

Finish with a good dose of hairspray to keep everything in place.

When your finished take a section of hair from the front and clip it back, so you're left with no shed.

The Look - Super-pretty side-swept bun

Seen at - The 2010 Emmy Awards

Creating this look, Keri was styled by Jonathan Hanousek.

Keri's hair is naturally curly but instead of straightenening them out, they were enhanced and refined for this look with a touch of MoroccanOil Light before being blow-dried with a diffuser.

Extra refinement was added with a one-inch barrel curling iron wrapped around random curls.

Jonathon then sprayed on MoroccanOil Glimmer Spray and raked it through her hair with his fingers, breaking up her hairline.

Gathering the hair back, he pulled it into a side ponytail that pinned into a loose bun.

Frederic Fekkai Sheer Hold Hairspray was applied; then, the finishing touch: a flower adornment from Jennifer Behr.

Best Actress winner Natalie had her romantic side-swept Oscar 'do created by Frederic Fekkai stylist Didier Malige.

Creating the look, he began by applying an anti-frizz product, and volumizer to Natalie's hair before blow-drying it with a round brush.

The hair was then curled in large sections using a 1-inch barrel curling iron.

The bottom layers of the hair were gently back-combed so the style would have hold; then the hair was swept to one side and secured with bobby pins.

Fekkai Sheer Hairspray was then applied for added hold.

Seen At - An event in May 2010

For this style it isn't essential to have super smooth hair, it looks good with waves an texture too; but if you have natural curls and want Nicky's total look, first apply some silkening balm and blow-dry your hair straight with a paddle brush.

Create a centre parting and gather your hair at the back, dividing into two equally sized low ponytail sections, one behind each ear.

Plait each ponytail and pin them up and into the scalp, over the top of your head like Nicky.

The tricky part is getting the ends of each to look like the merge together - it's best to use hair pins that closely match your hair shade for this, placing them in a criss-cross shape over the ends.

Use hairspray lacquer to help and shine and keep the style in place.  You can also use it to help dab down any frizzy or stick-out hairs.

Shorter haired girls can cheat their way to this style with the help of a Sephora Collection Thick Braid Headband.

Categories - Brown Hair, Buns, Light Brown, Long Hair, Medium Length, Nicky Hilton, Oval Face Shape, Up-Dos,

Suits- Oval, or long faces.

Good For- Straight hair, or hair with a loose curl, or wave.

Start with a long layered cut, with bangs and long layers around the face.

If you have straight hair apply some styling mousse while it's damp and use a hot air styling brush, such as Hot Tools Tangle-Free Hot Air Styling Brush, to give it bounce, especially at the bottom.

If you have curly or wavy hair blow-dry while its damp, with some straightening balm, before beginning the steps above.

Finish off the style with a spritz of hairspray.

Categories - Brown Hair, Eva Longoria, Light Brown, Long Hair, Medium Length, Oval Face Shape,

Colour - A dark brown base, with lots of honey blonde, plus a few well place lighter blonde highlights.

Suits - Almost every face shape.

Best for - A simple but extremely sleek look

If your hair is naturally straight then this is super easy to get and maintain but if your hair has waves or curls you should blow dry it straight and use a styling product which will help create shine.

Create a centre parting and position your hair around your face, slightly turn the ends in for a more finished look and finish with some shining spray.
