HAIR

Celebrity Hairstyles: Nicole Richie and Mandy Moore

- Have a look at some of the sectres behind these two ladies' fabulous hair 'dos

By: Monica Gaza, Life & Style Editor

All of us ladies who are into fashion and beauty love our daily share of celebrities – whether it's the clothes they wear, a new trend in makeup or a new hair color we can model in order to look and feel like a million bucks. As far as hairstyle is concerned, it's perhaps one of the most difficult things to emulate or even use as a source of inspiration, as the types of products and styling techniques used to make a celebrity's hair look good are even less obvious than, say, her makeup. For those of us who feel determined to learn the secrets of great celebrity
hairstyles, here's some good news: iVillage has teamed up with some of the best stylists out there and is letting us in on some of their secrets.

Nicole Richie's hairstyle, for instance – it looks complicated, but other than the official name of her cut – can you believe it's actually called a „deconstructed chignon with a deep side part" – it's not such a difficult style to get. Two basic co-ordinates: the side part and the sun-kisses beige blond color. Once you've asked a stylist to get your hair into that particular shape, just follow these easy steps. Use a hair volumizing conditioner or a leave-in volumizing gel, which you should apply with your head held upside-down. Blow-dry your hair, then make the side part and make sure that your hair is firmly parted before proceeding to the next step – smoothing the hair with a large round brush. Once your hair is completely dry, select the side bangs that you'll be sweeping to the side and tie the rest of your hair into a messy ponytail. Add some finishing hairspray and you're all done.

Mandy Moore has a different look altogether – long, layered cut, chocolate brown hair and a fringe. The problem with long hair is that it often tends to get frizzy – so after using shampoo and conditioner it's best to use a smoothing product of some kind – a serum, for example, applied to the mid shaft and ends of your hair. Add a volumizing gel to your roots, then flip your head over and blow dry until about 75% of the moisture is gone, then start taking small individual sections and blow-drying them using a smaller round brush. Finally, use a small brush for the fringe, dry the bangs flat and then part them in the middle. Add some finishing hairspray and your celebrity look is complete.
