The Audrey Hepburn Hairstyle

A classy up-do never gets old. Olivia Culpo showcased a modern version of the Audrey Hepburn 'Breakfast at Tiffany's hair' - minus the jewels - when she attended the Emmy Awards. The key to this look? Separate the front section of your hair from the rest and create a bouffant. Secure this with pins, then gather the remaining hair and create a low ponytail.
Twist the ponytail whilst pulling it upwards and then tuck the ponytail down towards the nape of your neck, securing with pins. Make sure you have plenty of pins and a spritz of Luxurious Volume Forever Full Hairspray for long-lasting style and a sublime finish.

The Bold Buzz Haircut

There’s nothing more low maintenance than a buzz cut. An iconic hairstyle popularised by the legendary Sinead O'Connor, the buzz cut has seen a recent resurgence with young celebrities - from model Adwoa Aboah to actress Millie Bobby Brown.
Up-keep is simple - you must ensure your hair and scalp are scrupulously clean, otherwise dandruff and dirt will be the first thing to show through. To find the perfect hair cleansing product for you, take a look at our shampoos and conditioners.

The Ultimate Sleek Hairstyle

This look may have been inspired by Carolyn Jones' bewitching portrayal of Morticia Addams, but there's nothing spooky going on here. Straighten your locks with hair straighteners before spritzing with a mist for a brilliant sheen.
Try our Frizz Ease 100% Shine Glossing Mist to achieve this glossy and glamorous look. If you're after more spooky inspo, check out our article on 10 stunning Halloween hairstyles.

The pixie crop is the perfect haircut for the woman who dares to be different. Some of our favourite celebrities that have gone for the chop include Kate Hudson and Natalie Portman, both of whom managed to pull off the short hairstyle with ease.
The key to keeping it modern is the feathery texture and moisture. Check out our Hydrate & Recharge range to keep your pixie cut nourished.

Surf Girl Style

It seems we’ve been California dreaming since the 70s when beach waves and surfer girl chic rose to popularity. From actress Farrah Fawcett to Brazilian bombshell Gisele Bundchen, the tousled style has continued to be an iconic look whatever the weather.
To boost your volume, try blow-drying your locks with Luxurious Volume Root Booster Blow Dry Lotion. For more tips on perfecting these effortless waves, check out our article on how to get beach waves.

The Blunt Bob

The bob has had many re-incarnations, but the blunt style has to be the most classic version. A few layers at the front and sharp ends give a thick and luscious look whilst appearing cool and undone at the same time.
A little Moisture Barrier Intense Hold Hairspray works wonders to enhance the texture whilst retaining moisture.

The Flower Crown

We think flower crowns look great with lifted, bouncy curls which you can achieve by using our Dream Curls Daily Styling Spray.

The Fringe Style

Fringes are back with a bang. Ask your hairdresser to advise on what kind of fringe will suit your face shape, hair texture, and lifestyle. The key to a super glossy fringe is shampooing and conditioning before styling - try our Frizz Ease Weightless Wonder Shampoo and Conditioner for a straight and sleek finish.
And if you want a commitment-free version, you can always add a fringe via a hairpiece. For more inspiration, check out our guide on fringe hairstyles.

The Luxurious Volume range is going to be your best friend here. After using our Touchably Full Conditioner, towel dry hair and apply the Core Restore Advanced Protein Volumiser throughout your hair.
Blow dry as normal and use a curling wand all over to get the fullest, bounciest curls. Apply Forever Full Hairspray for extra hold. Pair with a red lip and a flicked eyeliner for effortlessly chic old Hollywood glamour.
