Blow dry sections until completely dry and then unpin sections when cool.4. Tousle hair gently with fingertips and spray with flexible hold hairspray.
Jessica Simpson Curly, Red Hairstyle
Jessica Simpson's flirty style is a great choice for short, naturally wavy hair. Steal her look:1. Using a quarter-sized amount of gel, distribute through hair from root to tip. Be careful not to use too much or your hair will feel crispy.2. Blow dry hair completely using a diffuser. This will encourage the natural curls to get even curlier.3. Gently tousle curls with fingertips to soften and break them up. Use a curling iron to touch up any sections of hair that didn't get perfectly curly while diffusing. You can use a curling iron on your bangs too. 4. Finish with a flexible hold hairspray.
Jessica Simpson Blonde, Curly Hairstyle
Jessica Simpson's playful center-parted curls are a no-brainer for blondes with shoulder-length hair. Steal her style:1. Part dry hair down the middle. Make the part a little sloppy on purpose. 2. Divide hair into three sections: top, middle and bottom. Secure each section with clips or (gasp!) scrunchies if you still have them (believe it or not, scrunchies are great to avoid creating a crimp in your hair during styling). 3. Using a small-barrel curling iron, curl each section, beginning with the bottom and moving up. Alternate the way you curl the hair around the curling iron: some pieces curl clockwise around the barrel; other pieces curl counter-clockwise. 4. Spray each curled section with maximum hold hairspray from about a foot away. Don't use too much hairspray -- you don't want your hair to look crunchy -- and you're ready to bounce out the door.
Ashanti Long, Curly Half Updo
Ashanti's curly, half updo is the perfect look for a glam occasion. Here's how to steal it: 1. Starting with dry hair, part your hair off to one side. Gather sections from the crown of your head and pull them together. Tease the hair and twist it into a bun, or use a Bumpit (admit it, you've seen the infomercials), to provide the illusion of a bun; the goal is to have the look of extra volume and height in the back.2.Following the part you made earlier, where your hair sweeps across your forehead to one side, use a large-barrel curling iron to begin curling 1-inch sections of your hair until your whole head is a cascade of curls. 3. Gently separate the curls with your fingers, shaping how you want them to fall and loosening tighter curls into waves (so it doesn't look too done). Use a medium-hold hairspray to secure the style in place.
AnnaLynne McCord Medium, Curly, Blonde Hairstyle
AnnaLynn McCord's tight spiral curls (and killer red lips) are a glamorous option for medium and long hair lengths.1. Start by blow drying hair straight using a paddle brush.2. Once your hair is dry, spritz 1-inch sections with a styling spray before wrapping them around a small-barreled curling iron. The key to keeping this look from crossing into Little Orphan Annie territory is to avoid curling the top inch or two of your hair.3. When all sections are curled, mist them with a strong hold hair spray. Next, create a side part and smooth the top section to one side. Pin one ringlet back to create a wave that frames your face.4. Finally, spritz on a shine spray for a high gloss finish.

For straight or slightly wavy hair, start by towel drying hair and apply a lightweight texturizing product while hair is still slightly damp.2. Roughly blow dry with your head upside down (for volume) while gently finger combing.3. Once hair is fully dry, section off your scalp into two parts by parting horizontally from ear to ear. Make sure to not brush your hair and to pull it away from your face with just your hands - you want it to look slightly messy.4. Finally secure the top section with a barrette and spray with a medium hold hairspray.
Adrienne Bailon Long, Tousled Updo
Adrienne Bailon's sexy updo is the perfect look for a casual summer evening.1. Use a volumizing spray before blow drying hair with a diffuser, for maximum body.2. Part dry hair on the side and pull it back into a twist. Secure it into place with bobby pins.3.

Using a medium or small-barrel curling iron, add curls to small sections of the hair hanging down in back. Create a mixture of waves and slightly tighter curls; you want your hair to look like it's totally natural (yeah, yeah, it's that whole looks easy but actually takes a ton of work deal).
