Haircut styles:Jessica Alba

L.A. stylist Robert Ramos diffused Alba's hair to coax out its natural wave. Next, he gave her a center part, sectioned off hair from either side of the head and French-braided it. He made even smaller plaits from hair at the underside of her head, wrapping them back toward the center and pinning them. "At the back of the head, the braids should be intertwined," he explains.

Haircut styles: Kate Hudson

A low-slung braid paired with polished side bangs exudes unconventional elegance. How to do it? L.A. hairstylist David Babaii blew Hudson's hair straight, smoothing a quarter-size amount of David Babaii for Wildaid Hair Polish from roots to ends. Next, he loosely braided the hair at the nape of the neck and secured it with a clear elastic. Babaii finished the look by running a flat iron through her bangs and sweeping them to the side.

Haircut styles: Penelope Cruz

For this classic half-up look, N.Y.C. stylist Danilo misted a voluminizing spray on Cruz's roots before blowing the hair dry with a mixed bristle brush. To create body and texture, he used a 2-inch curling iron and then set the sections by pin-curling. (Once cool, he released them). Next, he gathered the top half of hair and backcombed to achieve height. He secured this section with a bobby pin and let the rest fall free, taming flyaways.

Haircut styles: Jennifer Garner

To add volume, celebrity stylist Adir Abergel sprayed Garner's still-damp hair with Fekkai Coiff Shape & Set Mist before blow-drying while using a round brush. Then he curled the hair with a 2-inch iron and spritzed it with Fekkai Sheer Hold hairspray. Gathering all of the hair except for the bangs, he wrapped it into a nape-of-the-neck bun, securing it with pins.

Bride Bonus: This romantic do looks gorgeous with a shoulder-baring dress and centered mantilla veil.
