Anne Hathaway's textured crop

Expert tip:

“I’m loving Anne Hathaway’s short crop that has been textured and almost deconstructed. It’s very feminine and you’ll need regular trips to your stylist for this style. Block colour is essential and a craft clay (I like Wella’s) will keep it looking shiny and defined.”

Lucy Liu's double braided plait

Lucy Liu opted for double whammy of braided styles at the Golden Globes – a classic French braid followed by a fishtail. Craig Pellowe, Advanced Director at Nicky Clarke salons, explains how to get the look:

Get the look:

1. Coat towel dried hair with mousse, then rough dry until 80 percent dry. Apply Nicky Clarke Hair Raising through roots to mid lengths. With your hairdryer on full heat and medium speed, lift roots with a vent brush to give root lift and height.

2. My pet hate is frizzy hair around the hairline so firstly smooth any unruly hairs around the hairline with a small bristle brush and hair dyer, paying attention to temple areas.

3. Create a side parting roughly in the middle of brow, then create a second part along the front of the hairline around two inches wide, which will create the start of your plait/braid. Clip hair away from the braid to avoid confusion.

4. The first part of Lucy's fringe braid is a classic french braid technique of weaving three pieces of hair over and under each other. Work your way across the forehead with the braid picking up hair as you go. Keep as tight and close to the head as possible so that the braid remains in the right direction across the forehead. Follow this technique down past the ear into the nape, where you are going to divide the 3 parts of hair you have into 2 – to finish off with a fishtail braid.

5. To achieve the fishtail, take your 2 sections of hair and pull a thin section of hair from the outside of the left section and pull it over the top, then take it under the right section. Then pull a thin section from the outside of the right section, pull it over the right section and take it under the left section. Repeat the alternate process until you run out of hair and this is your fishtail plait/braid. Tie at the end with snag band/hair band to secure braid

The young Hollywood Wave

Pol Garcia says..

“This is easy to re-create, very wearable and can be worn on girls all ages. This speaks of high glamour and is a sexy, modern take on a bouncy blow-dry. Smoother, softer and more sophisticated for the red carpet and works well to complement nude and strapless looks”

Get the look:

1. Wash and blow-dry 80% of the hair. Apply a styling or polishing cream such as Shu Uemura Polishing Cream through the lengths and ends

2. Take each 3 sections – the crown, middle section, nape and sides. Starting from the nape and the back, smooth it out with a round brush, nozzle of the dryer pointing down (drying off the lengths with a round brush this will create shine and colour reflection), before rolling each section into a gripped roller and pinning in place

3. Using at least 8 rollers in total on the hair (2 in each section is a good guide) and make sure the front rollers are rolled inwards towards the face this will ensure you get the height you need and stop it falling flat around the eyes and cheekbones. After 20 minutes, take out the rollers and brush through, parting off at the side

4. Once your bouncy waves are prepared sweep the around the side and pin securely at the nape of the neck at one side, underneath the top section, allowing the rest to fall loosely over the top with all grips hidden. Spray with setting finishing spray

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's Golden Globes 'do

Rosie wore a chic long style with a twist to the Golden Globes. Francesca Saville, Salon Manager at Taylor Taylor Boutique explains how to get the look.

Get the look:

1. Using a little of Moroccan oil, spread evenly on the mid lengths and ends of the hair whilst the hair is still wet, and start to blowdry using a paddle brush to smooth the hair straight. This can be done quickly and roughly to save time as the hair will be straightened afterwards.

2. Once the hair is dry, part the hair with a deep side parting as seen in the picture. Using the straighteners smooth each section repeating until all of the hair is smooth and straight.

3. Next apply a pea sized amount of Gel forte by Wella evenly to a comb and gently comb the hair behind the ear, whilst blow drying the hair in the same direction. This will leave a matte finish and flatten hair behind the ear - use a pin to secure if necessary.

4. Take sections of hair around the crown and back comb gently, then sprinkle hair powder to help the back-combing last longer and create body. Next smooth the hair over the crown by brushing the hair carefully and softly using a bristle brush backwards over the crown.

5. Apply a small amount of gel forte to a comb and begin to comb and blow dry the hair up and over to the side to completing the look. Use hairspray to fix the style in place.

Naomi Watts' relaxed up-do

Creating this effortless, relaxed up do is quite simple, but Francesca Saville, Art Director at Taylor Taylor London advises to start by using a high quality shampoo and conditioner (she loves the SLS and paraben free Hippy & The Holistics Be Lifted Shampoo, Elixir and Conditioner) to give hair a thickness and bounce that's easy to work with.

Get the look:

1. Start by prepping the hair. The easiest way to do this is to tip your head upside down and spray it heavily with a styling spray (Francesca uses Re-shaper by Sebastian Wella). Hold your head like this for a few seconds until dry. This will leave your hair big with lots of texture.

2. Pre-heat a curling tong, and separate the hair into large sections. With the tongs pointing downwards, wrap each section of the hair around the tong and hold in place for 5-10 seconds. Don’t worry if the sections are not neat as this will help to create more texture in the curls.

3.Take a soft bristled brush and gently brush through each curl to leave loose and slightly textured curls.

4. Part your hair on the side, and separate a 4 inch wide section at the front and pin out of the way.

5.Scoop the remaining hair around to the side and back comb sections to add volume. Tuck your hair under and pin at the nape of your neck and unpin the front section to create this fuss free glam look.

6.To finish, spray your hair with Re-shaper and sprinkle with a volumising powder such as Pure Abundance Hair Potion, by Aveda.

Leah Michele's french braid

Lea's french braid is surprisingly easy to achieve, and can be tight and tamed for a stronger, more uniform result or loose and disheveled for a more laid-back look.

Get the look:

1. Prep hair with shampoo and conditioner, and apply Nicky Clarke Hair Raising to your damp hair - roots to ends.

2. Dry hair completely -holding the dryer above your head pointing down. (This keeps your hair smooth and stops hair becoming flyaway and messy)

3. Part your hair on the side. Take a section from the top of the parting to the ear. And the same on the other side.

4. Starting at the parting, plait the section downwards -towards the ear, bringing in the necessary hair as you follow down your plait.

5. When you reach the ear, follow your plait around the hairline, over the ear and down to the nape. Once you've reached this point, stop adding hair in and plait as normal to the ends of the hair and secure with a small band. Repeat Step 5 on the smaller side of the parting.

6.Take a section into a point on the crown of your head. Create the same plait as the front two sections going either to the left or right (whichever you desire). Meeting your plaits at the nape.

7. Twist or fold the 3 plaits into a bun at the nape and pin, and to finish, use Nicky Clarke Hold and Shine.

This feminine, flicked out style is a great way to give mid-length hair a new lease of life.

1. Mist Nicky Clarke Hair Raising very lightly but evenly through the hair.

2.Blast the hair thoroughly until 100% dry and use a paddle brush to smooth if needed.

3. Section the hair into two from the parting to the nape. Using straightening irons take individual sections and iron from the root to the tip, twisting in a backwards and downward motion. Continue throughout the whole head using this technique.

4. To finish comb gently the all the hair and then tip your head upside down and spray with Nicky Clarke Ultimate Hold & Shine Hairspray while gently shaking your head, tip your head back up and simply run your fingers through the hair. Voila.

Bella Thorne's pink streaked bun

Actress Bella Thorne makes an elegant up-do edgy with pink streaks plaited in.

Stylist's Tip:

For a temporary pop of pink, try Kevin Murphy's colour bug hair shadows

Jessica Alba's tousled locks

For a simple, almost beachy look, try these slightly tousled waves - they look effortlessy chic with a glamorous evening look or androgynous suit.

Stylist's Tip:

"You'll need a serum to finish off tousled waves like this. When applying a finishing product at home, always apply it to the underneath first of all. This prevents too much product lying on the surface of your hair and leaves just the right amount on your fingers to smooth over the top of the hair giving the perfect finish"

- Gary Hooker and Michael Young, Hooker & Young (British Hairdresser of the Year Award 2o12 nominees)

Miranda Kerr's big hair

Go all out like Miranda Kerr with big hair at your Christmas party

Stylist's tip:

"A lot of my clients want volume that lasts from a blow dry. Two secrets that really make a difference are:

1) A cool water wash - it keeps sebaceous glands on the scalp flat providing a canvas for a blow dry that holds

2) Invisible scaffolding with hairspray -spraying up and under a blow dry as opposed to on and around the hair. It delivers a glossy finish, doesn't weigh down plumped roots and lasts longer"

- Errol Douglas (British Hairdresser of the Year 2012 nominee)

3. Remove all the clips and gently brush the hair and push into large bouncy curls, twisting individual waves at the same time. Finish off with a medium hold spray such as Osis Session.
