Maggie Q

Formal Long Straight

This stunning star always looks great, and this style from the 2007 ESPY Awards is no exception. Maggie's long locks were softly layered to add height around her crown and to create these textured edges. Long shaped bangs were also cut to shape her face and finish her look off perfectly. This style will work best on medium to thick hair types and naturally straight hair.

Alison looked amazing as she arrived at the "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" premiere. Jagged cutting the length, her top and sides were angle layered and thinned out to create this full textured style. Long side swept bangs were also cut to shape her face.

Katie Holmes

Casual Short Straight

We love Katie's look from The New York Premiere of Hairspray. It's soft and elegant, with a little flair. Her hair length was cut around her chin and soft layering was added around her mid-lengths and ends to take the weight out and to create a flexible shape around her face. This style will be easy to maintain with regular trims.

Rihanna

Formal Medium Curly

Rihanna used her appearance at the 2007 BET awards to show off the different ways her very sexy concave bob can be styled. For this cute look, the top of her hair was left flatter, which is great for shortening the look of a longer face shape, and the hair around the sides of her face featured soft and bouncy curls for a great formal look and to also add shape to a long, thin face shape.

Taraji went for a very soft and sexy look at the Talk To Me Los Angeles Film Festival and looked great! Taraji combined two hair textures to pull off this great looking 'do. The top of her hair was smoothed and her ends were formed into tight curls to add weight and to create a bouncy finish for her style.

Ashlee's soft and natural looking style was at big hit as she celebrated "The Longest Day of the Year".

This is a great hairstyle which needs to be trimmed regularly to keep it looking healthy and to keep the shape.

Miley's darker 'do looked fantastic as she celebrated the release of her new solo debut DVD, 'Hannah Montana'.
