Celebrity Hair: Hilary Duff

Hilary Duff
Hilary Duff’s stylish ponytail looked so classy and chic at the “1408″ premiere! I love how she teased the top and wrapped a piece of hair around the elastic to make a simple ponytail more formal. This is a great way to glam up for a night event or wear to a party! Here’s how you can get this look:

1. Brush all hair back and pull it into a regular, high ponytail. Do not tie it yet. Make sure all loose pieces are pulled back.

2. While holding your hair in a ponytail, neatly separate a piece of your hair from either the right or left side of your ponytail (this should be one of the longest pieces). This is the piece that you will use to wrap around the hair elastic. Make sure the piece is not too close to the top of your head, because you will be teasing it. Leave this piece to the side for now, and make sure the rest of your hair is pulled into a neat ponytail.

3. Wrap a hair elastic around ponytail a few times, depending on how thick your hair is (2 times for thick hair, 3 for medium hair, 4 for thin hair). Do not make it too tight–make sure you feel comfortable.

4. Take the side piece that you left out, and wrap it around the elastic. Secure piece with a couple of bobby pins.

5. To tease hair: Starting at the right side, between your roots and where the ponytail starts, run the tail end of a tail comb through the top layer of your hair, ending at the left side. Slowly move comb back towards just before where the elastic is, and slightly pull hair out of elastic. Do not tease too much–do it so it still looks neat.

6. Finally, spray entire head with a volumizing and holding hair spray, and your look is complete!

Celebrity Hair: Ashley Tisdale

Ashley Tisdale

Ashley Tisdale’s hair always looks so perfect! Her hair is naturally curly, but her secret is Schwarzkopf Osis Magic Anti-Frizz Serum to keep her hair straight and shiny! Here is how you can get her sleek look in just 2 steps!

1. When hair is dry, straighten with flat iron. Tip: Ceramic irons are better for your hair than non-ceramic. They prevent breaking, and keep it stronger and healthier! A great iron to try is the CHI Ceramic Flat Iron [$128.95]. It is a bit pricey, but it’s totally worth it–your hair will become super straight without the damage!

2. After hair is straight, apply a dime-size amount of Schwarzkopf Osis Magic Anti-Frizz Serum [$14] onto fingertips and massage through hair evenly.

Celebrity Hair: Ashlee Simpson

Ashlee Simpson

Ashlee Simpson’s hair looked fabulous at the grand opening of “Runway”! Her beachy waves look so natural and perfect for this season! This hairstyle is so simple to achieve, but it must be done overnight. Here’s how to get her look:

1. Wash hair the night before, and wrap with a towel for 10 minutes to dry out the excess water.

2. When hair is still damp, apply a dime size amount of Alterna Hemp Seed Texturizing Glaze [$16.50] into palm, rub hands together, and distribute into hair.

3. Part hair where you desire (Ashlee has her part in the middle) and separate into two halves.

4. Braid each part of your hair, and secure with ponytail holders.

5. Sleep with the braids in your hair, and remove ponytail holders and braids when you wake up. Now you’re finished, and you have clump-free, beachy waves! There is no need to spray hair afterwards–the texturizing glaze is enough to hold your waves and keep them looking natural!
