Try a twist

Braids like Lauren Conrad's are flirty and fun. "Use them as a small accent to avoid looking like a Swiss Miss," says James Corbett, colorist and owner of James Corbett Studio.

Work an evening ponytail

"For AnnaLynne McCord's sophisticated pony, leave some pieces out in the front and curl them for a youthful look," says Corbett.

Get pretty spirals

For frizz-free curls like Kelly Rowland's, shampoo and condition hair with moisturizing products, then use a foam-wrap product to rod-set the hair. Finish off the look with a mist of shine spray.

Experiment with extensions

The quickest way to get long hair fast is to try extensions, like Kim Kardashian. Opt for clip-in human hair hairpieces since they're easier to heat-style. HairUWear has great options for faking updos, ponytails, and chignons.

Go for bouncy curls

Holiday hair should have lots of natural movement. For Sophia Bush's glossy waves, curl each section of hair in a different direction so the results aren't too "done."
