Create Great Curls
If you have just bought yourself some very expensive straighteners, or you are thinking about it, why not consider the idea of curling your hair with straighteners? You can get more controllable curls which are far easier to manage than your natural hair is!

Another way to curl your hair that always creates great celebrity styles hair effect is to use some heated rollers. The type of rollers that you should get should depend on how long and thick your hair is, and how tight the curl that you want to achieve is.
I would recommend for short thin hair to use a straightener (the above method) or tongs, for thick medium length hair to use some medium sized heated rollers and for really long hair I would use some very large velcro rollers. Try using these on wet hair and then drying off with a hair dryer (be sure to have plenty of hair grips on hand however).
The most perfect thing about celebrities hair is that it always appears in perfect condition. Just think, can you remember every seeing Jennifer Aniston with her hair looking messed up?!
Many celebrities will have plenty of deep conditioning treatments at their salon before the big event. These treatments will vary from Damage Restructuring to Deep Conditioning and Detoxifying.
There are plenty of high street products out there that are suitable for home use and you can pick them up on the high street for reasonable prices. I would always recommend that you look on the back and see the list of ingredients, the more chemicals it has in it, the worse it will be for your hair in the long run.
You may wish to consider trying some organic haircare products, which are not always as expensive as you think, and with organic followers like Gwyneth Paltrow and Elle McPherson you will be in great company!
Or indeed for a special event such as a prom or a ball, why not go down to your local hairdresser or beauty salon and have a hair wrap or mask? These may be quite expensive but will definitely get you the look that you desire and it’s worth treating yourself for a special event.
Always check with the salon about which treatment they think will be right for you, because not all of them will be suitable for your hair type.
Dazzling Colour
Another important thing about your hairstyle is the colour. The richer and deeper the colour, the healthier you will look and the more attractive you will appear, it’s a well acknowledged fact.
Just look at the hair colour of Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston and Debra Messing to see what I mean.
So if you haven’t already booked an appointment at your local salon to have a colour analysis, or follow these steps to the perfect celebrity look-a-like hair colour:
Firstly look at your natural hair colour; does it seem lifeless and dull? Take a long look at your hair in the mirror and look at your friends and work colleagues- also don’t forget to ask your hair stylist for advice.
The next step is to determine your own hair colour if you don’t already know this. A good tip to remember is that men can often be the best judge of hair colour, because they can sometimes be more objective.
Once you have worked out what your hair colour is, try thinking of shades that are really rich in your mind but sticking to your own colour palette.
For example, if your hair is a dark blonde colour, but also has some dark brown and red strands in there, colours that would work for you would be reds and browns.
Another good example is Keira Knightley, she looks at her best with chestnut-coloured hair because this is closest to her natural colour.
I would always recommend trying colours that are slightly darker than your normal shade, and always try colours that are redder than your normal shade.
Red hair is really popular at the moment, with stars like Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts endorsing it.
If you want to dye your hair yourself, try some wash-in wash-out formulas before you commit to a permanent colour. This way you can be sure of the colour and whether it suits you. The usual recommendation is just to go one shade darker each time.
Also, if you just want to look good for one special evening you can then use one of these formulas and not permanently change your colour, but still look astounding.
Perfect Nutrition = Perfect Hair
You may have heard this many times before, but a healthy diet is really important if you want to have great hair.
The stars that look the best are the ones that eat the right foods and focus on a good diet. Gwyneth Paltrow and Heidi Klum are great examples and look great without starving themselves or resorting to strange diets.
There are a few key things that you need to make sure you get enough of that will help your hair look at its best.
The first is to drink plenty of water, this gives the hair its shine and without enough it can leave your hair lank and frizzy. The usual recommendation is eight glasses a day, but don’t stick rigidly to this, just drink as much as you can.
Secondly, protein is really important to your hair as this is what it’s made of, so be sure to eat enough dairy and meat products.
Minerals like iron, zinc and copper are also really important.
The iron helps deliver oxygen to your hair to keep it alive and fresh looking, so eat plenty of red meat and dark green veggies.
Zinc is effective in keeping the hair strong, and prevents the hair falling out; it can be found in seafood and meat.
Copper is really important in maintaining the colour of your hair, and enough of this will really give your hair colour a boost, so make sure you eat enough shellfish, seeds and fresh vegetables.
Vitamins are also effective in maintaining a good scalp and a great overall condition of your hair, especially vitamins A, B and C. These can be found in fruits and vegetables.
A great celebrity secret is the sweet potato, which is full of vitamins A and B and other great nutrients which will give your hair great life and body.
