“Taylor’s hair is a nice length. I cut some long layers into it to give a freedom to the hair; this way, it doesn’t get so bottom-heavy.” –Stylist Kevin Mancuso

“My hair is naturally curly, and it’s been like that since I was a little kid. I used to hate my curly hair and try to straighten it every day because all the girls in school had straight hair. But, a few years ago, I just decided I was going to embrace it!” –Taylor Swift

Who knows better how to work with Taylor Swift’s famous curls than someone who has had their fingers poked through each spiral? Stylist Kevin Mancuso, owner of New York hair studio KM Townhouse and Creative Director of Nexxus Salon Hair Care, has had the pleasure, and let’s us in on a few tips for how he gets the most from each ringlet. “I used Nexxus Mousse Plus all over and blow-dried the hair upside down while using my fingers to rough up the root. After setting her hair on Velcro rollers and allowing it to cool, I used a half-inch curling iron to put in the wave pattern.”

Nexxus

product wise

To help achieve gorgeous curls of your own (just like Taylor’s!) stylist Kevin Mancuso suggests adding a few products to your styling bag. Nexxus Gorgeous Curls Curl Enhancing Foam Styler is a great start. To finish, Nexxus Comb Thru Natural Hold Design & Finishing Mist helps keep the style looking fresh.

  1. Zoey McCusker says:

    Hey! My hair is alot like Taylor Swift’s and it curls really well but not quite the same look as in these pictures. Tell me, does she just use a curling iron or something else? Because I would LOVE my hair to curl like that! :)
    Thanks!
    Zoey

    • Bonnie L. Krueger, Editor-in-Chief says:

      Zoey:

      Taylor told Sophisticate’s that she always lets her hair dry naturally. “If it dries really flat, then I spice up the top curls with a curling iron, but usually just the top layers.” The one thing she can’t do? Brush it. “The curls become terrifyingly frizzy and it’s the worst ever,” she told us!

  2. Casey says:

    Hi
    I have frizzy cruly wavey hair and i dont know how to make it look right for me. I have a heart shaped face and i want a new hair style like looks good straight and wavy but i am not sure which hair style to pick. Any ideas?

    • Bonnie L. Krueger, Editor-in-Chief says:

      CAsey:

      If you’re hair is medium-to-longer length we offer a few nice options in the issue on newsstands now. There is an excerpt from Celebrity Stylist Robert Vetica’s book, Good To Great Hair, that has a wonderful look for you!

  5. Stacy says:

    About a month or two ago, i bought the nov/dec 2009 issue of sophisticate’s. Everytime I look through it, I’m drawn to the same picture everytime, and thats the picture of Chelsea Staub! I love her blonde waves, and her deep parted bangs. At the back of the issue I just saw the caption that says “see the results on Sophisticate’s website!” I was really hoping I could find it, but I can’t anywhere. It would be really nice if you could post the pictures and how to style hair like hers. Thank you so much! I love sophisticate’s!

    Stacy L.

    • Sophisticate's Hairstyle Guide says:

  7. SELENA GOMEZ says:

    hi my name is karine suarez i want to copy Selena Gomez hair from the movie called A ANOTHER CINDERELLA STORY the one she DANCEING WITH DREW SEELEY i like her layers and her long hair color also

    thank you

    sincerely yours
    karine suarez

    • Bonnie L. Krueger, Editor-in-Chief says:

      We’ll check into and get back to you Selena!

    • Sophisticate's Hairstyle Guide and Billy Lowe says:

      Hi Selena/Karine:
      A beautiful, romantic look indeed. Have you asked your salon professional about color services that might be right for you? Rich chocolate browns (Level 3 or 4) help make great color choices to imitate Selena’s haircolor.

      Take a look at bang options or sideswept bangs as well. Be sure your stylist is great with layering, and avoid razor-cutting for softer looks. I hope this helps.

    • Casey says:

      I love Selena Gomez’s hair too. I love it!!

  8. Bella says:

    I would love to look like Miley Cyrus. Any tips?

    • Bonnie L. Krueger, Editor-in-Chief says:
