The best of the Golden Globes

If you didn't watch the Golden Globes on Sunday, don't fret, I didn't either!  Instead, I have all the best hair right here.  Some of these celebrities have hair that seems impossible to ever recreate, but there were some great doable looks as well.  


Here are three very different looks, all with similar lengths of short hair.  
Evan Rachel Woods' style is so elegant.  This is one of my favorites!




Michelle Williams' style could be worn with any type of headband to dress it up or down.



To get Viola Davis' style, a mini flat iron is a must!



All of these next looks are styles you can do at home.  Tina Fey's hairstyle would look great for work as well as going out.  To get this look, curl your hair with a large iron or with hot rollers and then brush through your hair completely with a brush.  



These beachy waves are very similar and look great on both women.  It is easiest to get this style by using a 1" - 1 1/2" curling iron.  Curl your whole head and then use just your fingers to comb through.  Alternate the direction you curl each section to make the curls look more natural.  (Future post alert for more details!)   

This is some seriously sleek and shiny hair, she looks fabulous!  We all know that this was achieved with a flat iron, no one has hair that naturally does this.  




Salma Hayek looks like she has twice the amount of hair than the average person (most likely some extensions in there).  She also has the color trend of dark roots that gradually move to light ends, called ombre, that everyone is talking about.




These next updos are very hard to achieve on your own, but fun to have a stylist do for you next time you have a big event.  
Angelina Jolie's classic and beautiful bun.



Another two similar looks.  I love how the headband changes it just a little bit.




Lea Michele uses some natural texture in this updo.  This would be great for a wedding!



There are not as many options for the men's styles, but they didn't look too shabby either!






Most magazines will show you the best and the worst looks.  To stay on the positive side, I'm just going to stick with the ones I like :)  Which one is your favorite?

Not your average ponytail

There is more than one way to wear a ponytail.  Try these 3 ideas to spice up your everyday look!

To get the look below, tease the hair at the crown (top of your head) a little and pull loosely into a low ponytail.  This looks best when the hair is not perfectly straight.  Pull out a few strands around the face and curl them with a flat iron.


Try braiding a few sections before you pull them back.  You can do one or two braids.  To keep it looking effortless, just put the braids on one side of the head.  


Instead of the usual straight back ponytail, pull your hair off to one side.  Give yourself a deep side part and sweep everything to the heavy side.  This can be done with curly or straight hair.    


Try not to do this.



And of course, every ponytail looks best with a great cut and color!
