Dita Von Teese’s Retro Roller Set

Dita Von Teese is known for looking perfectly put together at all times. This fact is even more impressive because her style not always easy to recreate. Her lovely ‘do may be gorgeous, but it can also be time consumptive. To begin make a deep side part. If you want a real retro experience you can roll wet hair on plastic rollers and sit under a bonnet hairdryer or take it late 20th-century and use hot rollers. Start at the top of the head along the front hairline. Take a two-inch section and roll it back, parallel to the hairline. Then take the section directly behind the first roller and roll it back at a slight angle toward the ear ensuring that the end closest to the face touches the end of the first roller closest to the face. Next take a two-inch section behind the first two rollers and place it vertically with the end closest to the face touching the end of the second roller. These first three rollers should create an arc. The remaining hair can be rolled downward vertically. When hair is set, mist with a medium hold hairspray or spray gel. After rollers are removed, brush the curls out with a natural bristle hair brush. Brush back the hair along the front hairline and use your hands to help position waves along the face. What’s a little effort when there’s so much glamour involved?

Nikki Reed’s Playful Pinned-Up Ponytail

Nikki Reed’s simple updo takes only a few minutes to duplicate. Start by making a center or side part. Next, pull all the hair back into a low ponytail at the nape of the neck. Then wrap a hair elastic around the ponytail and on the last wrap don’t pull the ponytail completely through. Let the ends remain in the hair elastic, creating a loop. Pin sections from the ponytail all over the back of the head and finish by misting with a little hairspray.

Miranda Kerr’s Beautiful Bouncy Waves

We’re in the mood for a Miranda Kerr kind of fabulousness. She always looks so fantastic, yet it never seems like she’s going out of her way to look fantastic. So instead of an updo, we’ll try her casually curled look. First it’s helpful to blow-dry damp tresses using a round brush. This process will help smooth the texture, add body and create a little bend at the ends. Next use a large-barreled curling iron to curl two or three-inch sections of hair, focusing on the bottom portions of each piece. Then gently brush through to loosen the curls and lightly tousle. To finish try a few well-timed hair flips.
