Round brushes are essential in creating any Courteney-inspired look. “I love a boar bristle brush and I also love Mason Pearson brushes,” says stylist Tena Parker. “And a lot of times I just use my hands.”

An iconic, ceramic blow-dryer is key. “I love the T3 blow-dryer,” reveals stylist Tena Parker. “It’s lightweight so even if you are blow-drying your hair yourself, your arm isn’t going to fall off.”

“Everyone is going more minimalist on products,” says stylist Tena Parker. Shampoo and conditioner are the mane stars here. To help achieve an effortlessly chic look like Courteney’s, Parker recommends washing and conditioning with nourishing products, such as those by Kérastase.

    hi my prom is tomorrow and i still haven’t picked out a hairstyle yet! i have long straight hair that doesn’t like to curl, but i want to wear it curly. i’ve tried to use lots of hair spray. do you have any ideas on how to keep my curls in or any cute hairstyles i can put my hair in? thank you so much!

    • Sophisticate's Hairstyle Guide says:

      Hi, promgirl!
      If it’s curls you want, you can try a look like Taylor Swifts! If hairspray isn’t working for you, try hot rollers, too! Hot rollers work very well on straight hair. The curls keep better because they cool down around the rollers, keeping their shape. After you remove the hot rollers, flip your hair upside down and mist some hairspray for control and support. Scrunch the curls with your fingers and flip the hair back over. Doing this will give you a lot of volume and support. The keys to the look are hot rollers AND hairspray.

  2. promgirl says:

    hi my prom is tomorrow and i still have no clue on how to wear my hair! its naturally straight and doesn’t like to hold curls much, but i really want to curl my hair. any ideas on what i can do to make curls stay or any nice looking hairstyles? thank you much!
    -i also have tried using lots and LOTS of hairspray, but nothing works!!

  3. 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!

  4. 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!

  7. 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!

    • Sophisticate's Hairstyle Guide says:

  9. SELENA GOMEZ says:

    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!!
