Black Hairstyles for Diamond Faces

Rihanna's dapper updo would be perfect for a night out dancing. Take note: her cut is cropped on the sides and longer on top. Steal her style:

1. Apply straightening gel to damp hair and blow dry the top for smooth volume, up and away from the face.
2. Wind a 2-inch front section of hair along a medium curling iron. Roll it classic-style, like you're rolling a curler.
3. When cool, twist the curled section to the right once, style the side-swoop, and pin the ends behind your ear. Spray with maximum-hold hairspray.
4. Gather the rest of your hair into a low ponytail at the side of your neck, behind your right earlobe. Wind the ends around the pony and pin into a bun shape. Spray all over with hairspray.

Rihanna's longer-on-top style is rolled up and back for a glam evening look. Get the look:

1. Apply medium-hold gel to damp hair and comb through to distribute.
2. Blow dry the top with a 1-inch round brush. Roll hair up and away from the face to create the smooth, glam curls. Once hair is dry, pin back any strands that aren't cooperating.
3. Set with firm-hold hairspray.

Rihanna's pixie has extra-long jagged layers on top and short sides, which offers versatility to do softer rolled looks, or here, a sexy, edgy style. What to do:

1. Spray damp hair with thickening spray (if it's fine) or light hair gel (if it's thick). Comb through to distribute it evenly.
2. Blow dry hair with a vent brush in a forward direction until it's smooth and dry. As you dry it, direct hair across your face.
3. Run a flat iron over hair.
4. Use styling wax to add texture and spike up the bangs.

Rihanna's bob has an edgy look that can be achieved with a razor cut. How to style it:

1. Spray damp hair with thickening spray (if it's fine) or light hair gel (if it's thick). Comb through and create a side part.
2. Blow dry hair with a round brush until it's smooth and dry.
3. Run a flat iron over it. Be sure to curve the iron as you move down the length of your hair so it doesn't come out straw-straight.
4. Smooth a little shine serum over the ends. All done.

Rihanna's long bob has an edgy, jaggedy look that can be achieved with a razor cut. The front is also longer than the back, which adds even more cool-ness. To get the look:

1. Spray damp hair with thickening spray (if it's fine) or light hair gel (if it's thick). Comb through and create a side part.
2. Blow dry hair with a round brush until it's smooth and dry. Work in two to three layers (like a layer cake) from the bottom up -- doing this plays up the layers and the choppy vibe.
3. Run a flat iron over it using the same 3-layer technique.
4. To finish, smooth a little shine serum over the ends.

Rihanna's glam curls are perfect when you want to look feminine-ly put-together. This works best on hair that holds a curl. To get the look:

1. Apply a rich styling cream to damp hair and dry with a diffuser for waves.
2. When dry, mist lightly with heat-protective spray and wrap 1-inch sections around a 1-inch curling iron.
3. Leave curls intact. If you finger comb them, they won't be even, and that's a different look. So keep your hands off, OK?
