HOT TIP Thick, wavy hair looks sexy, whether it’s
worn short or long
Wavy Hair
KATIE HOLMES
THE LOOK Long and angled in front for movement
WHY IT WORKS “The cut, combined with Katie’s
naturally wavy hair, offers me the flexibility to do
anything I want with it,” says Holmes’s New York
City stylist, Oscar Blandi. “Pin-straight hair is harder
to work with because it doesn’t hold a style well.”
STYLING TIP To safeguard Holmes’s hair from heat
damage caused by blow-dryers, curling irons and
flatirons, Blandi likes to spritz it with his Jasmine
Protein Mist ($18/8 oz.;
sephora.com), a leave-in
detangling and moisturizing spray, before styling.

HOT TIP Thick, wavy hair looks sexy, whether it’s
worn short or long
Wavy Hair
JESSICA SIMPSON
THE LOOK Shorter in back, to the chin in front, and
with long bangs that can be worn down, parted in
the center or sideswept
WHY IT WORKS The angled cut gives Simpson’s hair
more volume while bringing out the natural curl in her
locks.
STYLING TIP Simpson’s stylist, Ken Pavés of Los Angeles,
gives her hair lasting hold by applying his Pavés
Professional Flawless Red Carpet Firm Hold Repairing
styling mousse ($6/7 oz.; walgreens.com), a lightweight
setting foam, to Simpson’s damp strands before air-drying
and styling.
Color and Extensions
HOT TIP Color gives fine hair extra volume
MARCIA CROSS
THE LOOK Below the shoulder; layered throughout
for volume
WHY IT WORKS The simple cut enhances the
intensity of Cross’s red hair. “Longer layers create
a greater surface area from which light can be reflected,”
explains New York City stylist Nathaniel Hawkins,
who has worked with Cross.
STYLING TIPS Whether he’s styling her hair straight
or curly, Hawkins starts by blow-drying it using a vent
brush to increase volume. He finishes with a dab of
Tresemmé Hydrology pomade ($4.39/3.5 oz.; drugstore.com)
to eliminate flyaways.
Color and Extensions
HOT TIP Extensions can protect delicate strands
from styling abuse
BEYONCE
THE LOOK Full and sexy—the singer’s own wavy
hair is enhanced with extensions to boost body
and protect it from styling abuse.
WHY IT WORKS "This style complements Beyoncé’s
diamond-shaped face and emphasizes her cheekbones
and strong jaw,” says her frequent N.Y.C. stylist,
Chuck Amos.
STYLING TIPS Amos applies a thickener like L’Oréal
Professionnel Textureline Magnifier ($13/8 oz.;
us.lorealprofessionnel.com for salons) to damp hair
before blowing it dry to add height and volume. “Teasing
African-American hair can make it frizzy,” he says.
Layers
HOT TIP Subtle layers work on all sorts of cuts—
adding volume and movement while framing and
flattering the face
KELLY RIPA
THE LOOK Shoulder length and angled in front,
with graduated ends for movement
WHY IT WORKS Ripa’s medium-coarse hair is prone
to falling flat. The angled pieces and graduated ends
help boost volume.
STYLING TIPS Ripa’s stylist, Oscar Blandi, starts by
blow-drying the ends of her hair with cool air. “Heat
can cause colored or chemically processed hair to
frizz,” he says. When the hair is mostly dry, he turns
on the heat and uses a round, metal brush to style
her hair straight. For curly looks Blandi relies on the
Babyliss Pro Professional ceramic curling iron ($50;
800-726-4202 for stores), which has a one-inch barrel.

SCARLETT JOHANSSON
THE LOOK Shoulder-length layers and long, wispy
bangs
WHY IT WORKS “The long layers give her hair body,”
says New York City stylist Mark Garrison, who has
worked with the actress. The shorter cut also limits
damage to the ends of her colored hair.
STYLING TIPS For a wavy look Garrison applies Aveda
Be Curly Curl Enhancing lotion ($16.50/6.7 oz.; aveda.com)
to Johansson’s damp hair before twirling small locks
around his fingers to set. After the hair air-dries he
adds a drop of Aveda Brilliant Emollient Finishing Gloss
($23/2.5 oz.; aveda.com) for shine and frizz control.
