In case you were wondering how to snap out of same-old-ponytail routine, I've got just the ticket. I tracked down a few cute celebrity hairstyles that’d make any girl look pretty in a hurry. Now make me proud and test one—or all!
Twist your ponytail into a chic bun.
What makes Kate Beckinsale’s ponytail modern? A little poufiness on top. After pulling your hair back into a neat chignon, gently tug out and lift up the front, then hit it with hairspray.
Put away your flatiron for a day.
Got texture? Flaunt it! Weren’t born with it? Fake it! For pretty waves like Beyonce’s, apply a bit of leave-in conditioner to damp hair, make braids all over your head, then go to bed. Undo the braids in the morning and separate them with your fingers.
Add a bump to your hair.
If you squint, Gwen Stefani is a dead ringer for Brigitte Bardot in this picture, thanks to a strategically placed hair bump (the nude lips help too). If you don’t have a Bumpit handy, make a side or center part, tease your crown, then spritz it with hairspray. Pull back both sides around the teased section and pin into place.
Show off your layered haircut.
A sleek blowout is the best way to do justice to a great cut like Anne Hathaway’s. Apply a few drops of shine serum to wet hair, then blow-dry with a round brush, section by section. Do a side part, then tuck a chunk of hair in the front behind your ear. Done!
Don’t be afraid of the way-high bun.
No, this isn’t a dancer with the New York City Ballet—it’s January Jones! For her daring bun, make a ponytail way up on top of your head, then braid it. Wrap the braid around the base of the pony and secure with bobby pins. Pirouettes are optional.
Slide on a skinny headband.
What to do now that we’ve officially retired the low-rider headband look? Take a cue from Scarlett Johansson and go with a thin headband in basic black. Tease the front of your hair first for volume and to give the band something to grab onto.
Make friends with smoothing cream.
Got a short cutie-pie haircut like Ginnifer Goodwin? Apply a dime-size amount of smoothing cream to wet hair, then blow-dry as usual. Use a paddle brush to smooth hair to the side for a sleek looks-good-with-every-outfit ‘do.
Let some pieces hang loose on a casual updo.
Taylor Swift has the low-key-yet-glam thing down to a science—a few face-framing curls in the front keep this updo from looking stuffy.
And if all else fails…get a new dye job.
There’s nothing like a new hair color to make a girl feel like a new woman. Nicole Richie ditched her blond for a gorgeous chocolate brown—and boom…instant freshness. Love it!
