Hair Issue: Celebrity Style

Updos

Sleek topknots and nape-grazing chignons are simply chic. Pair them with pretty pompadours for a modern spin on a classic. Here Melanie Fiona takes it to another level.

Short Hair

Make folks warm for your form by going short and sassy. Bowl cuts with long fringe asymmetrical as well as curly and straight strands, color accents and tapered sides are truly award-winning. Fantasia looks great in this hair trend.

World of Curls

Tight or loose spirals speak volumes with layers, highlights or with slicked back fronts and sides. These coifs prove that size does matter: Bigger is definitely always better. Take a look at Wendy Raquel Robinson’s chic tresses.

Add Color

Bold blond streaks on the crown against a darker canvas command attention whether the hue frames the face or is flipped up and away. We love Eva Marcille’s pop of color!

The New Bob

No wonder the spotlight has been cast on these freshly modern cuts that hover around (or above) the shoulder. Choppy layers, side-swept bangs, blunt edges, color, curls and texture offer a flattering and sculpted finish with flair to spare. How lovely does Serena Williams look with this ’do?

Long and Lovely

The drama is in the details when it comes to longer locks. These standout sisters command attention with sexy curls, soft waves, center parts, face-framing layers and fabulous fringe benefits that scream femininity. Gabrielle Union’s hair looks fun and flirty with those cute waves.
