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.

If you aren’t lucky enough to have been blessed with Afro-American hair, you can always sport a gorgeous style by consulting a good hair care professional.
There are hundreds of Black hairstyles that can be sported with finesse and help enhance your features.
Types of Black Hairstyles:
Afros hairstyles: This hairstyle is created with natural African hair and can also be made for those who have natural tight curls. Here the hair is styled in such a manner that it juts out from the scalp.
Usually, the style is created all over the head and the shape can vary depending upon the individual’s preference. This type of hair became immensely popular in the 1960s-70s eras.
Afro Puffs:
This style is similar to the Afro style and can be created with natural hair with the help of an elastic holder. The hair is made to puff outside the holder and is one of the best ways to highlight the
beauty of natural hair. This hairstyle looks great on kids who require a neat as well as trendy look.
Bantu/ Zulu Knots:
This style requires parting the hair in several sections and then twisting it into tight, firm knots. The size of the sections is entirely dependant upon the length of the hair. You can also design the sections in round, square, rounded or triangular shapes. The hair in a particular section s taken and twisted to form a coil and the end is secured with an invisible rubber band.
Braids: This is one of the most popular Black hairstyle and looks good on almost everyone. They require taking several strands of hair and braiding them into rope-like formations.
You can start with three stranded braids that are considered to be the simplest and move on to five stranded braids, twelve stranded braids and so on. Braids can be created close to the scalp or allowed to hand freely. Braids can be made by taking sections of hair and made close to the scalp as in Bantu knots.
Cornrows:
This is a traditional African style of grooming the tresses which is characterized by tight braids done very close to the scalp using an underhand upward motion.
Cornrows can be created in straight rows or in various geometrical designs. They are easy to maintain and can be left for several weeks. You can also wash your hair with the cornrows on by using a hair net.
You can even decorate the cornrows with vibrant beads, threads and cowry shells. This hairdo can be sported by both men and women and can be created on natural Afro hair as well as other hair types.
Dreadlocks:
This is a popular back hairstyle also known as locks or dreads. It comprises of interlocked coils of hair which form on their own in all types of hair.
For getting fine dreadlocks, the hair is left to grow without combing or brushing it to get rid of any tangles. It is essential for you to take good care of your tresses if you are looking to sport this particular hairdo, particularly while washing and re-knotting.
Tips for maintaining Black Hairstyles:
Most African American hairstyles require a great deal of care and effort to maintain.
Always use a good quality conditioner to retain the moisture balance and nourish your hair. If you have a tendency to develop frizz, use more of the conditioner towards the ends of the hair shaft.
It is best to wash your tresses carefully if you are wearing extensions, dreadlocks and cornrows. You can use a hair net while washing your tresses.
Avoid exposing your hair to too many chemicals as this may result in permanent damage.
Avoid using too many hot irons and rollers in order to prevent the hair from drying out.
