Katherine Heigl

Christina Applegate

Katherine Heigl wore her retro curls down at the Oscars while Christina Applegate pinned hers back for the SAG show. Either way, this is a glamor-intensive look that looks perfect with red lipstick and a glitzy gown.

Braids

Jessica Alba

Amanda Bynes

There’s more than one way to wear braids. Amanda Bynes goes for a bohemian look while Jessica Alba favors a more classic braided ‘do.

Long and wavy

Ashley Tisdale

Britanny Snow

Becki Newton


If you’ve got long, lustrous hair, why not show it off? All you need is a curling iron and a little–emphasis on little–hairspray to create loose, natural-looking waves. Another look that only improves as the evening wears on and your hair relaxes.

Ponytail

Anne Hathaway

Miley Cyrus

Ponytails are a great youthful look, and both these young actresses pull it off. The key here, again, is softness. Don’t just pull your hair back in a scrunchy. Go for loose waves to frame your face.
