Wondering if that hot celeb hair style will work on you? Find out here.
Celebs and it girls always seem to have good hair days. What’s their secret? Well, having hairstylist at your beck and call helps. “People need to realize that these beautiful women have a team including a stylist, hairstylist and makeup person working with them all the time,” says Charles Booth, founder of LaCoupe haircare. And, he adds, “some women, no matter what they do to their hair, will always look amazing.”
Still, there is something to each of these five haircuts that really hits the mark. We spoke both to Charles and New York City-based Brian Magallones, consulting hair stylist for Garnier Fructis Style, to get their pro insight as to what makes these hairdos so gorgeous and to find out who these styles will work on. Your best bet, though, when you have a style in mind? “To get any look, the best way to ask your hair dresser for it is with a visual aid," says Brian. “Never be afraid to take a picture in to show exactly what you want.”
The celeb: Blake Lively
The cut: “Blake Lively is looking beautiful in this photo with the perfect example of a long layered cut. It is angled around the face with the shortest pieces falling just below her chin, which adds length to her heart shaped face,” says Brian.
Why the cut looks so good: “Because Blake has such thick hair, having it angled around the face removes a lot of the bulk, and opens her up her face which looks fresh and keeps her hair from dragging her down,” says Brian. How this cut can be styled: It’s a fairly low maintenance style and can usually be worn with a simple blowout, says Brian. “To dress it up, you can simply add a soft wave to it using a large barrelled curling iron.” Plus, he adds, when hair is this long, there is also the added versatility of throwing it up into a chic ponytail on days when you don't have time to worry about it.
Who this haircut will work on: “This is a great haircut for most hair types, except for fine hair,” says Brian. “At this length fine hair ends up looking flat and lifeless.”
Styling tip: To keep this style looking great all day long without looking stiff, Brian recommends finishing it off with Garnier Fructis Style Hold and Flex Flexible Control Spray.
