Fringe Benefits
If you have textured hair and want bangs like Beyoncé's, a de-frizzing smoothing serum is going to be your best friend. Apply it to wet hair and smooth your strands as you blow-dry using a round brush. Then, finish the look with a mini flat iron to score a sleek fringe like B's.
Wild and Free
We love the way Rihanna is embracing her natural texture these days. But be sure to amp up yours with a high-gloss serum after it's dry—and go.
Sleek and Centered
First, flat iron your hair so it's super-smooth, like Solange Knowles' strands. Then, create a center part and gather your hair into a low ponytail; secure it with an elastic band. Next, wrap your pony around the hair tie, creating a tight bun. Use bobby pins to help your style stay put.
Plait Appreciation
To get Jennifer Hudson's sexy side braid, start by spritzing your hair with a heat protectant spray and then smooth it out using a flat iron. Next, using the arch of your left eyebrow as your guide, create a side part (if you have bangs, sweep them to the side to recreate this look). Then, pull your hair to the right side of the nape of your neck and begin braiding; secure the plait with an elastic band. Lastly, mist your hair with hair spray.
No Shortage of Spirals
For sexy spirals like Jordin Sparks', run a heat styling and curling cream through your strands from your roots to your ends. Then, set your hair using a 1/2-inch curling, rolling each section of hair in opposite directions for a more natural finish.
High and Mighty
Pull your hair into a high ponytail, like Kerry Washington's, using the crown of your head as the base. Smooth any bumps with a boar bristle brush, and then secure the pony with a hair tie. Next, using a one-inch barrel curling iron, begin to randomly curl the remaining sections of hair for added texture. For extra shine at the ends of your hair, use a drop of high gloss serum.
Cool-Girl Curls
To copy Kat Graham's laid-back mane, start with straight, dry hair and use a one-inch barrel curling iron to recreate her pretty, soft waves from mid-shaft to the ends. The key to this look: rolling the iron away from your face.
Pretty Pomp
Beginning with dry, straight strands, tease the top front part of your hair with a teasing comb to recreate Zoe Saldana's mini pompadour. Next, gently smooth your hair using a boar bristle brush and pull it into a high ponytail; secure with a hair tie. Then, use a one-inch barrel curling iron to create soft spirals. Pro tip: Remember to only use sections of hair that are the width of the curling iron, so your hair gets the right amount of heat. So if your curling iron is one inch, the sections of hair should be one inch.
No. 1 Stunner
Drooling over Selita Ebanks's sleek style? Again, hit your hair with a heat protectant spray first, then flat iron it straight for a smooth finish. Next, comb your hair away from your face and tuck the left and right sides behind your ears. Finish with a firm-hold hairspray to keep your strands in place.
