Gather hair -- no need to be precise, as the look is meant to look super casual -- and pull back into a ponytail. Twist the end of the ponytail around the base and secure with bobby pins.4. Pull a couple of random strands loose in front and arrange them to frame your face. See More Tyra Banks Hairstyles

Tyra Banks' eye-catching updo is a long-haired look that says you -- and your hair -- are ready to party. Get the look: 1. Apply texturing lotion and blow dry hair using a paddle brush ... volume is not as important with this style as making sure your hair is straight, shiny and has some texture to maintain an updo. 2. Once hair is dry, use a straightening iron to smooth out 2-inch sections of hair, all over your head. 3. Pull hair, very tightly, into a ponytail and secure it on top of your head. 4. Take individual sections of your ponytail, apply pomade to them, and roll them into a loop that protrudes from the ponytail and secure them in place with pins. Repeat until all but one section of the ponytail has been looped ... leave that tail of the 'tail hanging off to the side, and secure the, ahem, structure with a generous amount of hairspray.

Shannyn Sossamon's playful, flippy style works really well in super-short hair. What to do:1. On damp hair, evenly distribute a nickel-sized amount of styling cream. 2. Using fingers instead of a brush, blow dry hair. This works best if you hold the blow dryer directly above your head and point it down.3. Curl ends of hair around fingers and continue blow drying. Don't burn your fingers, but get the ends to flip. It's a fine line you'll be crossing but you can do it.4. Finish by styling your bangs to the right across your forehead. Use your fingers or a curling iron if needed.

Keyshia Cole's funky pixie 'do is sweet and simple to style. 1. Apply a dollop of mousse to the length of your hair, scrunching it into the roots. 2.

For the front swoop, brush hair forward and against the scalp while drying.4. Finish the style by rubbing a few drops of a shine serum between palms, then smoothing over hair.

Keyshia Cole's red ringlets have a romantic feel that's perfect for date nights or proms. What to do: 1. To get the look, distribute a styling cream through damp hair, then blow dry. A rough dry is fine, as you'll be curling your hair too, just make sure it's completely dry before moving on. 2. Once hair is dry, wind half-inch sections around a thin-barreled curling iron from ends to roots. Hold the iron vertically while turning. 3. Hold the iron in place for a few seconds, then release the clamp while pulling the iron down and away from hair. 4. Allow the curls to cool, then spray with a medium-hold hairspray. Don't comb, don't brush -- don't even touch -- the curls or you'll ruin the ringlets.
