Reese Witherspoon always looks so happy, and we cannot help but wonder if it is because her hair is always magnificent! This hairstyle is uncomplicated and timeless, and it suits Reese exceptionally well. Featuring long bangs delicately draped to frame her face, it adds a layer of sophistication to the overall look. The natural blonde shade of her hair catches the light, creating a shimmering effect as it gracefully falls around her face and neck. The gentle side parting allows her layers to soften the edges of her face shape and ensures a lot of movement and volume in this hairstyle. To maintain this style and keep your ends healthy without split ends, it is recommended to trim your hair every four weeks. This hairstyle will suit those with a round, oval, oblong, square, heart, diamond, or triangle face shape. The only downside to this style is that glasses will not suit this look.

Opting for a brown smoky eye is a great choice to highlight and elongate your eyes. Using minimal or no eyeshadow and complementing it with a pink lip can result in a subtly glamorous look. To enhance this hairstyle, contouring your forehead and adding a blush to the center of your cheekbones will be ideal when it comes to your makeup application. These steps create a stunning sense of depth on your face and draw attention to your lovely facial features.

Reese Witherspoon has taken a classic hairstyle and added a more modern twist to it, which we love! She has styled her hair straight and then placed it in a half-up, half-down hairstyle. This allows her hair to create height, which is going to elongate her face shape and keep her hair out of her face, which is something you always want to do for a formal event. Reese has left a few pieces out of her upstyle, which allows the hair to fall around her eye area, framing her face to perfection. Because of these strands, glasses will not suit this look. This hairstyle will suit all hair densities and textures as long as you do not have very thin hair. Reese has also added a few highlights to her natural hair color, which this style showcases very well. You are going to need to touch up your highlights every six weeks to ensure that the color stays vibrant and that your roots do not shine through the color.

Try to keep your makeup application simple, as the style will be the star of this show. A subtle eye makeup application paired with a pastel or nude lipstick, and you are ready to take on the red carpet!

Reese Witherspoon looks as stunning as ever! She is back on the big screen in Sing 2, and now she is sharing with us this easy-going gorgeous hairstyle. Her curls elongate her face and frame her neckline. Ensure that you curl your hair tightly before an event or in the morning when you are curling it. Having waves in your hair will ensure you will still have them by the end of the event because curls tend to drop as you move. Your hairstyle will now be ready to rock the party! Lock in the curls with some hairspray and you're ready to go! The best results can be obtained by curling your hair on the second or third day following a shampoo. The dirtier your hair is, the better it will hold a curl, and you'll save a lot of time prepping it. Try dry shampoo if you have oily hair. The hair has been placed behind one ear, which is a nice feature. Your prominent cheekbones will be highlighted by tucking your hair behind your ears!

If you want to draw attention to your eyes and lengthen them, then a brown smokey eye is the way to go. It is possible to achieve a soft glam look by applying a very light or no shadow to the eyes and by applying a pink lip. To create beautiful dimensions to your face, contour your forehead and add blush to the center of your cheeks when wearing this hairstyle.

This is a simple yet statement hairstyle that Reese Witherspoon is sharing with us. The hairstyle can only be this good because of the blunt cut bob that she has. The side part helps to frame her face and neck area. This is a really easy style for you to do at home, which is great and is something you need to keep in mind when you choose a hairstyle. It's a bonus if you have a hairstyle that you can maintain and manage at home. The straight, sleek look is great for any formal occasion. The hair behind her ear helps to open up her face which makes this look warm and inviting. You are going to need to cut your hair once every 4 weeks or so to ensure that the ends stay healthy and that the cut stays in shape, because if a blunt cut starts to grow out and is not maintained, it will look like a mess.

When it comes to your makeup application, you can do a gorgeous smokey eye. Add false lashes to make your eyes pop even more. Do not forget to highlight and contour your face and neck area to help give you the illusion of a perfect oval face shape. Finish off the look with a bold lip color that matches your eye color or your outfit and you are ready for a night out on the town.

Reese Witherspoon is a bit of a hair icon I think. The reason is this: not only does she consistently look great, but she sets new standards with her hairstyles (or, she wears a fashionable hairstyle so well she makes it totally her own). Want proof? Check out her vintage retro hairstyle featured here.

If you want a hairstyle like this one, then here's 5 steps you might want to try (providing of course you've got medium length hair that's medium texture too):

1. Wash hair, towel dry and apply a little mousse before creating a side-part.

2. Using a medium or large radial brush blow-dry your bangs straight up and away from the part (aim the blow-dryer at your roots).

3. When bangs are dry divide hair into sections blow-drying the back and sides with the radial brush curling the ends under.

4. Wrap hair vertically around a large curling iron or large hot rollers and, starting with the bangs, complete the same process for entire mane.

5. To finish separate curls with fingers, piece the ends with a little wax and mist with lacquer.

Vintage retro hair is a popular hairstyle that will be around for a while so follow these steps and follow in Reese's footsteps too.
