Hairstyling: Page 10

If you're anything like us, then you try to take the easiest route possible when styling your hair in the morning before work. You know: Wake up, brush your teeth, and then wearily comb through your hair a few times with your eyes closed.

French braids have always been the much cooler and more elegant older sister of the basic braid (you know, the ones you wore in pigtails with Sesame Street ties when you were a kid). Which is why we love the way they add a whimsical touch to any hairstyle that incorporates them.

Pompadours sound kind of, well, pompous, and look rather prosh. With a literal "I'm above you" upward beehive bump that towers over your own head and others, a pompadour is a hairstyle with 'tude, and while before people that it was too ostentatious to wear, starlets like Jennifer Lopez and Rachel McAdams have worn the style on the red carpet to much acclaim (and copycats).

In our opinion, blowouts at salons are WAY overpriced. A few spritzes of heat protectant, a few good twirls of the blowdryer, and you're done. Well, after you pay $50.

Short on time and cash? No problem! It doesn't mean you have to be short on celebrity style!

We love this hair tutorial because it teaches you how to create the equivalent of a cinnamon bun on the side of your head. A Dutch braid is basically a braid that you swirl around and around itself in order to form a circular shape. While doing this on both sides of your head would be a little much (we're not going for Princess Leia here), opting for just a single Dutch braid on one side.

Be as lazy as you want the rest of your life when it comes to makeup and hair, but on your wedding day you better be amping it up in the style department. If you're looking for a not too hard hairstyle to sport on your big day, check out this elegant side twist updo. You've probably seen it on the likes of old Hollywood-inspired stars like Gwen Stefani and Rachel McAdams.

Want to look like Jacie O? The famously fashionable first lady is only comparable to Michelle Obama in terms of good taste and pretty hairdos. As JFK's presidency was in the early sixties, Jackie O sported the most popular hairstyles of the time: Beehives, major volume with curls, updos with major volume. As you can see, big hair was in no matter what hairstyle you did.

Every little girl wants to look like Barbie (not a particularly good thing, but bear with us here). And while all of us grow up and realize we come in all sizes and colors, it's always fun to reminisce a bit about our childhood and Barbie, one of our most beloved dolls. While we don't advocate you really look like Barbie by starving yourself and getting implants, it may be fun to dress up like her for Halloween.

Victory rolls may not sound like a familiar term these days because almost no one does them anymore. But you'd sure recognize them if we showed you some photos from the 1940s and 1950's: Actresses like Rita Hayworth and Katherine Hepburn loved wearing them, and as they did so did the rest of the nation who looked to them for beauty inspiration.

Now, rolled-up bangs may not be a good choice for going clubbing (at least not if you're trying to catch a cutie's eye in a positive way) or for work, but work great for Halloween if you're dressing up as a movie star or teeny bopper.

This beautiful hairstyle would look good for any special occasion, but it especially fits the holidays, when you're hitting up cocktail party after cocktail party and need to look your absolute best (you never know when you may meet a hottie through your coworker!).

You've probably heard of cheetah print nails and even cheetah print eyeshadow (think the eyeshadow "rub-ons" at Sephora), but we can bet you've never heard of cheetah print hair. Your first question is probably whether or not this is even possible, but trust us, with a compressor doing cheetah prints on your hair is as easy as pie.

Like leading ladies Mia Farrow and Michelle Williams before her, Emma Watson recently chopped off her hair - almost all of it. Watson debuted her new pixie haircut a few days ago, proclaiming she'd wanted to do it for a long time and that it felt liberating.

Long, curly layers look fabulous (we're thinking Beyoncé and Shakira here), but the hairstyle also presents two of the most difficult to manage hairstyling problems: Too much frizz and messy, uneven layers that don't lie flat. It may seem like a hairstylist's - and everyday gal's - nightmare, but long, curly layers can be styled with the right tools and technique.

We love shag haircuts. They're short, easy to take care of, and really give off that cool "Devil may care" attitude that makes it such a chic look for hipsters. But if there's one caveat about shag cuts, it's this: They get messy. And we mean REALLY messy.
