Eva Longoria may play a desperate housewife but her hair is purely divine. If you want to get your own version of Eva Longoria’s hairstyle, read on for the inside scoop.
Step 1
Wear this hairstyle if you have thick hair that has some natural wave to it. Straight hair can still apply for this style but it may take a little more work to get it there.
Step 2
Cut your hair like Eva Longoria’s hair in a long, layered shag cut. The length of the hair can vary but should be at least to your shoulders for best results.
Step 3
Layer beginning approximately at mouth level in the front and left a little longer in the back. The hair is angled and layered to meet the bottom length giving long, soft layers that will give you tons of styling options.
Step 4
Don’t wear bangs with this hairstyle. Instead the hair is worn with a middle part and frames the face.
Step 5
Apply a volumizing mousse to towel dried hair and section off your hair so a two-inch section remains at the bottom and the rest is pinned up and out of your way.
Step 6
Begin blow drying the first section with a paddle brush and a blow drier with a nozzle attachment. Point the nozzle of the blow drier down at the hair to seal the cuticle and promote smoothness.
Step 7
Work your way up the top of your head, making sure each section is completely dry before beginning another.
Step 8
Give yourself a middle part and finish smoothing those final layers when you reach the top layers of your head.
Step 9
Heat up a large-barreled curling iron and use it to create the big, flipped back curls in Eva Longoria’s hairstyle.
Step 10
Start at the back of the head and take a section of hair approximately two inches wide that runs from the middle of your head down to the bottom of your hair. You want to leave the top layers of your hair out of the curling iron and keep them lying smooth.
Step 11
Close the curling iron onto the ends of the first section, making sure the very ends are inside the barrel’s clamp to avoid kinks. If some of the layers fall out while adjusting don’t worry—you can curl those ones separately.
Step 12
Twist the curling iron back and away from your face while you wrap the entire section around the curling iron. Stop wrapping when your iron is sitting an inch away from your scalp in an up and down position. Let the hair sit for three to four seconds to allow the heat to penetrate all the hair.
Step 13
Release the clamp and carefully slide the barrel of the curling iron down and out of the newly formed curl by lowering it until it “falls” out the bottom. You want to preserve the curl as is as much as possible so it can cool in its new shape.
Step 14
Repeat this process with all the layers of your hair until you have many, large and long curls that bend back and away from your face.
Step 15
Coat your hands with a styling wax and gently separate the curls. You still want to leave the basic shape so don’t play with them too much. The wax will help define your curls into many tiny flips that blend and flow towards the back of the head.
Step 16
Finish off with a light misting of hairspray. Be careful not to overdo it on the hairspray—this style should have movement and be touchable. Helmut heads aren’t trendy.
Final Note:
Eva Longoria’s hairstyle looks twice as nice thanks to bold highlights throughout. Try adding some lighter sections to your hair for the same effect.
If you can’t be bothered with all that curling try wearing the same hairstyle straight. Flip the layers back while blow drying and go for a sleeker version of Eva Longoria’s hairstyle.
New Celebrity Hairstyles Made Easy - Do It Yourself Hairstyling

Want to look red-carpet-ready for your next dinner party? Patrick Melville of the Patrick Melville Salon in New York and Hollywood hair stylists Erick Orellana at Chris McMillan Salon and Brig Van Osten of Play Hair Lounge show you how to get celebrity-inspired looks at home!
Kate Winslet
This look is daring, with the front half swept back. A smooth wave gives this style a 1940s spark.
Get the look: Set hair on hot rollers, misting each section with a light hairspray as you go to get that soft, tousled look. Take hair out of rollers, then use a soft-bristle brush to sweep it back into a loose yet secure ponytail. Next, pin hair back in large oval sections to make the look more groomed and detailed.
Jennifer Aniston
She transforms her signature sleek, straight day style into an evening look by adding a simple braid at the hairline, accentuating her forehead.
Get the look: If you’re wearing most of your hair down, add an element such as a braid or hair accessory to dress it up just enough to separate your evening look from your “running out to grab milk” look.
After blow-drying hair, either twist or braid hair 2 inches at the hairline from right to left, or take the front top section of hair into a pin roll reminiscent of the ’40s. This look shows off your forehead without pulling all your hair back or risking that it falls into your face all evening if it stays down.
Angelina Jolie
This style is very Brigitte Bardot — half swept up with the back flowing loose and free. She avoids a flat look by creating volume on top before pinning hair back.
Get the look: First, create texture throughout by teasing hair at the root. Then, wrap 2-inch sections around a large curling iron to create loose waves. On the top section, use a medium-round brush to blow-dry hair back. Backcomb for added volume at the crown of your head, then secure hair from either side of your face with bobby pins. Mist with a light hairspray.
Anne Hathaway
Instead of slicking her hair straight back, she does a dramatically low side part in front, then sweeps hair across her face, drapes it over the top of her ear, and secures it with a pin.
Get the look: Part the front section of hair and gather the rest into a low, tight ponytail secured at the nape of the neck with a hair band. Take the remaining hair and pin it into a loose bun to conceal the hair band.
Heidi Klum
To accompany her dress’s unusual neckline, Heidi left her hair down and simple but dressed it up by wearing the front section off her face and to one side. Her hair is swept back and combed on top to keep it from falling in her face, and the sides are held in place with a holding spray.
Get the look: Any length hair can get away with this trick, as long as it’s freshly trimmed and blunt on the ends. Using a generous amount of gel, flip the hair upside down and dry the entire head. Then, use a 2 1/2-inch curling iron from root to end to give big, open movement and push hair back with a couple of color-matched pins.
Nicole Kidman
Her long hair is loosely pinned back and up, leaving enough down on the sides to achieve a wavy, sexy chin-length style.
Get the look: Use a flatiron instead of a curling iron to create flatter waves. Take small vertical sections and slowly turn the iron as you slide it down the section. Repeat, moving through the front pieces of hair that you left out. Once you are finished, comb through one time to get uniform waves.

Have you ever desired to get straight, smooth and sleek hairstyle carried off by some of the hottest celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Lopez, Paris Hilton and so on?
A majority of these celebrities are sporting Sedu hairstyles which are hugely popular with women having wavy, thick and coarse hair that are often impossible to manage. Here’s how to do Sedu hairstyles:
Step 1:
Purchase your Sedu Ionic Ceramic Pro flat iron which is uniquely designed and patented using ceramic plates made of tourmaline crystals. The Sedu flat iron is sold exclusively in salons, beauty supply stores or online.
Step 2:
Wash your hair with warm water using a good quality shampoo.
Step 3:
Use a conditioner after shampooing and leave it on for at least 2 minutes before rinsing it out with cool water.
Step 4:
Towel dry your hair gently. Apply hair styling gel, mousse or anti-frizz serum to your hair to make your hair more manageable.
Step 5:
Take a round brush and a hair dryer and dry your hair. Ensure that you keep the tip of the dryer pointing downward, in a parallel direction of your hair.
Step 6:
See that your hair is as flat as possible.
Step 7:
Determine the type of hairstyle you want to create. You can create several styles such as flat straight, soft curls, flip out, and flip in.
Step 8:
Create flat straight hairstyle. Insert a 2-inch section of hair between the plates of your Sedu flat iron, and then squeeze the handle together. Glide slowly through hair from the roots to the ends. Repeat this until you are done straightening all the hair.
Step 9:
Create soft curls. Insert a 2-inch section of hair between the plates of your Sedu flat iron, and then squeeze the handle together. Glide slowly through hair from the roots to the ends and wind the hair around. Repeat this until you are done giving soft curls to your hair.
Step 10:
Create a flip-out hairstyle. Insert a 2-inch section of hair between the plates of your Sedu flat iron, and then squeeze the handle together. Glide slowly through hair from the roots to the ends and slightly flip out the ends. Repeat this until you are done creating the flip-out hairstyle.
Step 11:
Create flip-in hairstyle. Insert a 2-inch section of hair between the plates of your Sedu flat iron, and then squeeze the handle together. Glide slowly through hair from the roots to the ends and slightly flip in the ends. Repeat this until you are done creating the flip-in hairstyle.
Step 12:
Add some gloss to your hair with a good quality shine-on spray. Don’t use too much of it or your hair will weigh down. Enjoy your new look.
