2011’s hottest hairstyle trends are straight out of Tinseltown with a host of looks and ideas for all hair types and lengths. Cute crops, bodacious bobs, magnificent mid-lengths and long, lovely locks have all been reinvented to turn heads this season.

Close Crops
Sported by a host of the rich and beautiful, the close crop has made quite the comeback. Get Halle Berry’s classic look with thinned sideburns and a lightly teased top to create body. Use a fine-toothed comb for best results. Rihanna adds a funky twist to her look by adding blonde highlights to a side-swept longer length fringe to show off those gorgeous cheekbones. A styling cream and shine spray like GHD Shining Serum tames dry, coarse and unruly hair, giving a smoother, shinier finish for that enviable glossy look. Agyness Den flat irons deep straight bangs and slightly choppy ends to create her classic style.

The Bob
This timeless, feminine style is favoured by those too busy to fuss over their hair while still wanting to maintain cutting edge status. Katie Holmes updates the classic by pairing longer layers with an eyebrow length asymmetrical fringe to create a modern A-line shape. A flat brush and a lightweight smoothing serum, such as Redken Glass 01 Smoothing Serum adds shine. US First Lady, Michelle Obama opts for shorter layers in a rounded shape with a diagonal side part and mid-cheek bangs for a stylish, face-framing look. An anti-frizz cream, like VO5 Leave-In Anti-Frizz Crème, keeps flyaways at bay. Actress Leslie Bibb teams slightly feathered layers with a blunt, eye level fringe and face framing pieces for a less structured, wispier low maintenance style. A volumising mousse like L’Oreal Studio Line Volumizing Mousse applied to the roots of the hair adds height and body.

Mid-length Magic
Mid-length styles are perfect for those trying to grow out their hair or looking for versatility. Hollywood Golden Girl, Reese Witherspoon adds
texture to her glam style by diffusing sections of the hair and setting with styling cream. Schwarzkopf Osis Buff is a fantastic styling cream with light hold that is perfect to finish a style as well as for blow-drying. Shorter pieces in front coupled with longer layers at the back keeps the style romantic and draws attention to the face. Kate Moss uses a large barrel curling iron to create blunt curled ends which she pairs with a thick, eye grazing fringe.


Long and luscious
Kate Bosworth creates long waves with a curling iron and a styling wax, like Pantene Pro-V Texture Sculpting Wax. A deep side part and a single shoulder skimming layer create a enchanting look reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour. Full, wispy bangs, long angled layers and scissor-thinned ends are all that’s needed to create Jennifer Lopez’s full-bodied hairstyle. A volumising spray and a rounded brush add much needed bounce and volume to pull of this look. No one carries off romantic curls quite like singing sensation Taylor Swift. A angelic spiral curls in a layered cut coupled with a side part highlight her eyes and define the shape of her face. A small curling iron creates defined curls for the perfect hairstyle.
