When Victoria got her hair cut into the short, edgy style
it was cut will while dry, which gives the style a different finish to hair
that's cut when wet.
Her stylist Ben Cooke began by sectioning off the top and
front part of her hair and give the bottom an under cut to follow the shape of
her head, so it would be very tapered.
The top section was then sliced with thin scissors.
This style gives Victoria a super stylish looking cut
everyday but she barely ever has to touch it up, as it just naturally falls into
place.

Color - Mid-brown with lots of lighter golden brown
highlights
This event was just one day after the Bafta's look, below,
so is the exact same cut but with a very different look.
If your hair is
straight, you can style it like this by wetting with
water or a gel for the slick-ness, combing and creating a side-parting to style.
For hair that's a little more unruly, first blow-dry,
using a frizz-ease product, then follow the above steps to get Emma's fab look.

Best For - Naturally straight hair
To get this look you should simply be able to ask your
hairdresser for a "pob" and if there as style savvy as they should be they'll be
able to give you this look no problem.
To style blow dry your hair straight using a round brush
to add some volume at the roots, this style can look very bad if left flat.
Run some straighteners over the length and ends for
Victoria's sleek look. To get some extra shine like hers also apply some shine
enhancing spray, such as
Gucci Envy Scented Hair Shine Spray ,
which Victoria would surely love.
Finally create a slight side parting and position your
hair over the sides of your face to create Victoria's narrowing look.

This style of bob is great for fine,
straight hair; the one length and no layers have add the illusion of thickness
and weight in the hair. 
To style, add some volumising mousse, such
as
Dove Body & Bounce Volumizing Mousse, to
freshly-washed hair and blow-dry with a large round brush - boosting the roots
and bobbing under slightly at the ends.
Create a side-parting on the side of your
choice.
Tuck one side behind your ear and smooth
down any frizzy parts with some smoothing balm.

For this cut, which was described as a
modern-day Michelle Pfeiffer in Scarface bob, print
out the pic or get one from a magazine to show your hairstylist
exactly what you want.
 Rose
had her awards look created by John Frieda hairstylist Harry Josh.
To get sleek, straight hair, Harry first
applied
John Frieda Full Repair Lift Foam to Rose's hair to give it a
lift and he then applied
Full Repair Perfect Ends Deep Infusion to the ends to ensure the
hair would look healthy from root to tip.
Using a natural bristle brush, he blow-dried
Rose's hair section by section, angling the dryer downwards to get
maximum shine.
Velcro rollers were also used to make sure the
hair curled under slightly at the ends.

This look is quite bold to go for, especially
if you're not sure whether you'll suit a fringe but the length of this fringe
means you should be able to clip it back if you're unsure about how it looks.
Color - Dark Chestnut Brown
Best for - Straight hair unless
you're happy to straighten this style everyday or else have a curly fringe.
To style apply some hair polish (Silk
Elements Glossing Polish
should help add gloss and shine) into damp hair then blow-dry - use a large
round brush if you'd prefer a bit of bounce or a paddle brush if your after a
straighter look like Cheryl's.
For Cheryl's perfectly straight and glossy
look you might also want to finish by using a flat iron.

This is a great layered cut
that's flattering on most face shapes; to get the look print out
this picture or take one from a magazine to show your hairdresser
exactly what your looking for.
Styling Kelly's sleek layered
look, you should apply a little smoothing balm to damp hair; then
blow-dry using a mix of round and paddle brushes.
Create a part on the side of
your choice and use the round brush to boost some height into the
roots, slightly curling under your face-framing layers too; use the
paddle brush to straighten the lengths.
If your after an extra-sleek
finish run some ceramic straighteners over the length and ends too -
this will also help add some shine.

Good For - Straight
hair. If your hair is naturally curly avoid this style unless you're happy

start off with a shoulder length bob and some eye skimming bangs.
To style apply some
anti-frizz serum to damp hair then blow dry with a small round, or flat brush.

Miranda is fairy low-key
when it comes to her hairstyles, and often leaves her her simply
down, or puts it in a bun during the day.
Seen backstage before a
David Jones fashion show, Miranda showed off a perfect neat bun.
Best For -
Straight hair. If you've got curly or wavy hair you might want
to straighten or blow-dry before trying this sleek look.
How To - For this
look, unlike most, you don't need freshly washed hair - this style
actually works better with hair that's a little bit greasy,
otherwise you can use water or gel.
First, create your
parting, Miranda's is slightly off centre. Brush your hair smooth of
any kinks, tugs, or bumps at the crown then pull it into a low pony
tail at the back of the head and secure with a band to match your
hair colour.
Wrap the pony tail up
and around the elastic band, securing with pins (again matching your
hair colour) as you go. You might find it easier to twist the
ponytail while wrapping - some find it stays put easier.
When you reach the end,
tuck the final part of your pony tail in, or underneath the rest of
the bun - again, securing with a pin if you need to.
Finish with a good dose
of hairspray.

day.

long side sweeping fringe.
To style straighten if your hair is curly, or blow-dry

every hair into a perfect position, this style is better when it's a

style to smooth away any fly-a-ways and define the piecey texture at the ends.

Lea's hair is naturally curl but she went sleek and straight
for her appearance at the Grammy Awards in 2010.
Needs - Long bangs, or short layers around the face.
The style calls for high shine and no frizz so begin by
applying some frizz-ease serum to freshly washed and still damp hair.
Blow-dry using a large paddle brush. When completely
dry if you have any kinks left, run some straighteners over them - this will
help add shine too.

frizz or flyaways.

Girly girls have got to love the pink dipped
look that Nicki sported in late 2010.
If you fancy have a go at the dip-dye look; if
you're going Nicki's color, blonde or bleached hair is a must - you
won't be able to get such a vivid pink result with hair that's
darker.
A shade such as
Manic Panic's Cotton Candy Pink Hair Dye,
should give you this gorgeous look. You can pick how intense
you want the color by watering down the dye to suit yourself.

This look is fairly simple if you have
straight hair: slick the hair back into a high ponytail, using a little gel or
balm to smooth down the hair on top of the head.
Wrap some of the ponytail
around the hair band to cover it.
Finish by running some
straighteners over the length of the ponytail for an extra sleek
finish if you feel you need it.
For curly hair, blow-dry the
hair with a paddle brush and some frizz-ease products before
following the ponytail-creating steps above.
Top Tip - Don't make the
ponytail too tight because it can cause some damage or breakage at
the roots - especially at the front of the hairline.

Time - If you have hair
which is very curly and long this could take about an hour, the shorter and
straighter your hair is the less time it will take to achieve
Many people are lucky enough to
have Gwyneth's sleek Oscar style naturally but for curly haired girls it can
take a lot of work.
First wash your hair and apply a
de-frizzing serum once you've towel dried.
Now blow dry your hair using a
large paddle brush and work right down to the ends of the hair.
Once everything is dry you might
have to use some straighteners to smooth out any stubborn kinks. Ceramic
straighteners are best and will help give an extra bit of shine.
Finally create a slight side
parting and tuck one side of your hair behind your ear, then for Gwyneth's look
bring the other side to the front and let it sit naturally.
Later on on the night Gwyneth was
spotted having her hair touched up and spritzed with L'Oreal Elnett Hair Spray.
