Why is Lauren Conrad's hair always so cute?

Bohemian Hair

GET THE LOOK: "We wanted to keep Lauren’s hair young and playful for the Teen Choice Awards so we opted for a beachy bohemian look to complement her long flowy dress,” says Christine Symonds, celebrity stylist at Warren-Tricomi in L.A., who created this fresh look. “By keeping the hair simple, it played up her dress instead of overdoing it.”
INSIDER TRICK: Keep the waves loose and natural,” says Symonds, who used a one-inch curling iron and wrapped large sections around it to get the subtle curl. Then she created two loose braids on either side of the center part and finished with Redken Hairspray #18 and some Redken Vinyl Glam Spray.

Perfect accessory to jazz up a hairdo!

Hair Extensions

Growing your short hair long like Fergie’s takes ages. Sure, Hollywood's hottest hairstylists can craft customized locks that last for months, but there's a new crop of clip-in options that are much more affordable. To seamlessly blend long wefts of hair into your own, clip away the top layer of hair around your head. Next attach extensions directly at the root, then unclip hair and lay it over the extensions.

Volumized Bob

Most hairstylists suggest wearing bobbed hair flat to avoid excess poof, but Jessica Stroup gave her hair a lift that makes the style look sexy! To get the look, work volumizing mousse into the roots of damp hair to achieve texture. Next, finger-dry under a blow-dryer, then lightly brush the surface without deflating any height.

How cute is this??

Sexy Half Updos

"I wanted to give Sienna Miller a sensual, Brigitte Bardot look," said Moroccanoil stylist, John D., who worked with the star for the Met Ball in New York City. He blew the hair dry with a flat bristle brush, parted it in the center and fastened half into a messy ponytail with a touch of volume at the crown. "The weather was very humid and the red carpet happened between rainstorms, so to finish, I spritzed her entire style with a strong hold hairspray," he said.

Blunt Bangs

At Victoria's Secret Beauty VIP summer preview in Hollywood, Jennifer Love Hewittgave us a preview of her new haircut: Heavy, eyelash grazing bangs. If you've got a long face like Love Hewitt, consider a thick, full-on fringe. The heft will help balance the length of your face and further define your cheekbones.

Are you a fan of HEIDI'S new bangs??

Shaggy Bangs

Let's face it: A thick curtain of heavy bangs is the fastest way to get overheated in the summer. So take a tip from Heidi Klum onLate Night with Jimmy Fallon, and style yours wispier and more piecey. Dry them straight, work a tiny dab of dry styling cream into your palms and gently pat your bangs. The slight separation will give them a lighter, airier finish.

Easy Summer Hairstyles

Fishtail Braid

WHO'S WEARING IT Leona Lewis

WHAT MAKES IT COOL The intricacy of the fishtail is a fun twist on the side-braid trend, says Lewis's stylist Ben Cooke.

GET IT (DON'T SWEAT IT!) 1. Pull hair to one side, but don’t secure. 2. Divide into two even pieces. 3. Take a small section of hair from under one of the pieces and wrap it over that section and under the other. 4. Repeat, alternating sides through the length of the ponytail. 5. Secure with a clear band, then gently massage braid to pull out stray strands.

Ballerina Bun

WHO'S WEARING IT Anna Kendrick

WHAT MAKES IT COOL Sleek in the front, texured in the back—and a lot easier than it looks. “It's a sophisticated updo that emphasizes the cheekbones,” says Tresseme stylist Craig Gangi, who created the look.

GET IT (DON'T SWEAT IT!) 1. Apply anti-frizz cream to damp strands and blow dry straight.2. Pull hair into a high ponytail, secure with an elastic. 3. Twist strands around the base of the ponytail, pinning as you go. 4. Tease along the bottom of the bun to keep it from feeling too prim.

Undone Pony

WHO'S WEARING IT Jessica Biel

WHAT MAKES IT COOL Volume at the crown combined with loose, face-framing layers give this ponytail a sexy '60s-bombshell feel. "It has a modern shape that’s chic but effortless-looking," says Jessica Biel’s stylist, Adir Abergel.

GET IT (DON'T SWEAT IT!) 1. Spritz texturizing spray on damp hair and let air-dry (this style also works well on the naturally gritty texture of hair that hasn’t been washed in a day). 2. Back-comb lightly at the crown for lift. 3. Pull into a ponytail at ear level and secure with an elastic. 4. Loosen pieces around the face.

7 New Ways to Rock a Braid

The Half Braided Pony

WHY IT WORKS "The contrasts in finish between the shiny braid and the matte, brushed-out waves is really interesting," Abergel says of Jennifer Lopez's look. "Plus, the proportions are just right."
EXPERT TIP Abergel suggests thinking of this as a ponytail, not a braid. Secure your hair tightly at the back of your head just above ear level, then braid down to the bottom of your ear lobe. Tie it off with a second elastic, and wave the ends with a small curling iron. One word of wisdom: "This look won't work if you hair isn't longer than your shoulder blades," he says.

The Angled French Braid

WHY IT WORKS "Kate Hudson's style is actually very classic," says Abergel. "Not everyone can handle a middle part, but this side version is universally flattering."
EXPERT TIP Start with wavy, beachy hair—silky straight strands won't hold the style—and part on the side. French braid from one side of your part to the other, working all the way along the hairline to behind the opposite ear. Leave the end of the braid loose or twist it into a low cluster.

The Loose Hairline Braid

WHY IT WORKS Alexa Chung's look jives because it's so deconstructed. "I love the thickness of the braid and the way it's a little tousled," he says.
EXPERT TIP Part your hair deep and on the side, then braid a wide section across your hairline. "It's okay if it slips down onto your forehead," says Abergel. Secure with crisscrossed pins low on the back of the head, and gather the rest of your hair into a messy knot.

The Double French Braid

WHY IT WORKS "This is an easy way to class up a braid and give it more of a chic finish," Abergel says of Jessica Alba's look. "The swept-back direction of the braiding really opens up her face."
EXPERT TIP Part the hair in the center and divide into three sections. Twist the middle portion back, leaving the sides out, says Abergel. Then, loosely French braid the two side sections to the nape of the neck before wrapping them into a chignon with the rest of your hair.

The Peekaboo Braid

WHY IT WORKS "The duality in textures is stunning," Abergel says of Ashley Olsen's nearly hidden plait. "The key is mimicking the beautiful undone texture in the braid."
EXPERT TIP Use a combination of beach spray and wax pomade to rough-up your hair, Abergel advises. "Tease and backcomb the section you're going to braid before you start. That keeps it looking undone, haphazard and not too perfect," he says.

The Side Braid

WHY IT WORKS "Zoe Saldana's simple side braid is more casual and day appropriate than a full-on French braid," says Abergel, who works with Kate Beckinsale, Sandra Bullock and Kristen Stewart, among others. "I love the modern piecey ends that keep the look from being too severe."
EXPERT TIP This version works best if you have long layers. "The pieces slipping down in front are key," he says. Wave your hair first and start braiding very close to the nape of the neck. "And keep the ends undone—a dab of styling cream will help break them up," he adds.

The Fishtail Braid

WHY IT WORKS "I love the softness of the sweeping hair across the head," says celebrity hairstylist Adir Abergel of Diane Kruger's look. "It's very elegant because the braid isn't too tight against her head."
EXPERT TIP This braid isn't a French braid—meaning it shouldn't start at the top of your head. Instead, Abergel suggests you begin braiding just above the ear. (As for the fishtail technique, simply break the ponytail into two ropes, take a skinny section from the left and add to the right, then repeat to the ends of your hair.) Finish by twisting a section of hair around the end and pinning in place. "It will look more authentic and hand-done," Abergel says.
