Ciara wearing a sleek tight long ponytail hairstyle while attending the 30th Anniversary Gala of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, California.

Hairstyle: long, tight sleek ponytail hairstyle

Color: Brunette, Black, Brown/Black, Blackest Brown, Dark Ash Brown

Why we love this celebrity hairstyle:
Very sexy, sleek and can work as a elegant hairstyle as well. Very easy to style although I strongly suggest using a quality cream, or mousse to give that sleek, tight and sexy look.  As you can also see the ponytail is styled low, not high up which can also help with hair that has different layers. You can use a ouchless type of hair band or a decorative clip to match your attire!

Hairstyle: Short, elegant hairstyle

Color: Blonde, Golden Blonde, Butterscotch, Pale Golden Blonde

Why we love this celebrity hairstyle:
At first glance I thought this hairstyle was a updo or french twist of sorts, then after further looking through photos for the event I realized her hair was short! This hairstyle is beautiful, elegant and easy to do for those of you wanting a short hairstyle, a new hairstyle or some ideas for cuts/styles on your hair. Wear this hairstyle to any elegant event of occasion, but don’t be afraid to wear it to more casual events and occasions as well. This hairstyle is very much all in the parting. When styling use a light shine spray for a healthy sleek shine and glow. Don’t over spray with hairstyling products as you do not want this hairstyle to look heavy, weighed down or the hair to appear greasy and dirty.
Words or phrases to describe this celebrity hairstyle:
Short, sleek, elegant

Love it or Hate it?
LOVE IT!

Maggie Grace wearing a elegant updo hairstyle while attending the opening night gala screening of Fantastic Mr. Fox at the 2009 AFI Fest held at the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, California.

Have long hair but don’t want to take the large amount of time it can mean to fashion
an updo hairstyle of any sort? Just because your attending an elegant occasion does not
mean it automatically requires an elegant updo hairstyle of sorts!

You can easily opt for long, sexy, sleek and straight. By using a flat iron you can achieve
this look very easily, and it is versatile enough for many other events and occasions as
well. If a flat iron is not your thing using something as simple as a flat brush and blow
dryer on damp hair can work as well. Part your hair in different sections, zig zags
or one of my personal favorites First part your hair down the middle, after using a flat
Iron or flat brush/blow dryer combo, take about 2-3 inches of hair from the front and
neatly tuck them behind the ears, add shine spray, and a good but flexible holding spray.
You can also fasten these strands if say your bangs are short or its hard to keep them
behind your ears with a coated bobby pin close in color to your hair color.

Another option is to Use hot rollers/curling iron or a round brush and blow dryer to
create beautiful curls basically from ear length down, and then fashioning the hair so it
sits swept onto one preferred side. This hairstyle is essentially easy once you get past the
curling and can usually last all evening without problems if you use good quality products.

Lastly top with a great pair of earrings to show off!

Jennifer Carpenter is wearing a gorgeous updo hairstyle while attending the 2009 Scream Awards held at the Greek Theater, Los Angeles.

Hairstyle: Chic Updo Hairstyle with bangs

Color: Brunette, Chocolate Brown, Ash Brown, Dark Ash Brown, Brown/Black

Why we love this celebrity hairstyle:
Jennifer Carpenter is really rocking the red capret at this event! A beautiful updo hairstyle can sometimes be the answer to all your needs when it comes to a special occasion. A updo hairstyle not only can look great but it can make plain turn into elegant with ease! Wear this celebrity hairstyle to events such as Weddings, Proms, Galas, or any elegant or special occasion you wont be sorry! If this updo is a little difficult for you, I suggest trying a local quality salon (although usually if they are really good, June, Prom seasons etc are pretty booked) Another option is also any local beauty schools where you can get your hair done for a fraction of the price! If you don’t have bangs don’t worry this hairstyle can also be done without them and still look awesome!

Blake Lively wearing a chic hairstyle while attending Denise Rich Hosts the 2009 Angel Ball to Benefit Gabrielle’s Angel Foundation. Cipriani’s Wall Street, NYC

Hairstyle: pulled back into a french twist, very chic and elegant

Color: Blonde, Pale Golden Blonde, Light Ash Blonde

Why we love this celebrity hairstyle:
French Twist hairstyles can work great from the boardroom to the ballroom and all in between!  Curl any loose strands, or use a quality mousse, gel or spray to give a perfect all night hold. I also suggest using a shine spray, but LIGHTLY, as over spraying can make your hair appear greasy and weighed down, what we are looking for is a light healthy shine and glow!  You can also fashion your french twist and fasten it with decorative pins and peices to match whatever attire or occasion needed!

Amber Heard wearing a high chignon hairstyle while attending the New York premiere of ‘The Stepfather’, held at the School of Visual Arts (SVA) Theatre in Chelsea, NYC.

Hairstyle: High chignon hairstyle

Color: Blonde, Pale Golden Blonde, Golden Blonde, Light Ash Blonde

Why we love this celebrity hairstyle:
Chignon hairstyles, especially ones fashioned higher on the head can use much shorter hair therefore be much easier to style! With some time, patience and the right tools you can learn to create a chignon hairstyle ( a variation) in a few easy steps!. I highly recommend having bobby pins that are coated to prevent snags, any barrettes or accessories you want in the hair, a hair tie, ouch-less. One way to do this is to start with damp or dry hair ( I love dry hair for a looser look, wet/damp for a more tighter sleeker style, of course you can always dampen dry hair also) You are simply going to start and end by taking strands (you can choose to twist or to try and leave straight) and bring back each peice, you can use a hair tie, then fran out the “tail” with twists and hair pins, or just go straight to twisting, and pinning the ends you want them together to look like they are forming a sort of knot.  Finish with a quality holding spray.

Katie Cassidy wearing a high updo hairstyle while attending Hollywood Life’s 6th Annual Hollywood Style Awards held at the Armand Hammer Museum on October 11, 2009 in Los Angeles, California.

Hairstyle: High Updo hairstyle that has thick strands of hair interwoven at the top.

Color: Blonde, Pale Golden Blonde, Golden Blonde, Honey Blonde

Why we love this celebrity hairstyle:
The updo is very elegant and the top itself has the strands intricately interwoven throughout eachother which I love as well, even if this might be a hair piece ( MIGHT) it still is a very elegant hairstyle and perfect for weddings, and proms!  Check out your local hair/beauty supply store for different hair extentions and peices that you can purchase to help make many more hairstyles!
