Loving these textured layers. If you already have this cut it’s going to be easier to recreate. Either way, a good tip for having a textured look is to straighten your hair as normal, and then to straighten the top layers to the opposite side (i.e. left to right).

Going platinum is a bold look that has always been popular with the stars. If you have dark hair, make sure the dye you buy can make your hair at least eight shades lighter. If it turns orange, it just needs another dying session, so make sure to moisturize, and repeat.

Like the classic lob, Nina has a side-parting that gives the lob a different look altogether. This makes the hairstyle work for those with round or oval face shapes and changes it up if you’re bored with your current style.

If you want a style of royal proportions, try straightening the ends of your hair inwards and asking for a clean cut at the hairdressers. She also has a lot of volume to her sleek hair, so back-combing and using hairspray below the roots is a must.

A straight lob is easy to achieve and is flattering for most face shapes. Ideally dry your hair naturally, as much as you can, to avoid drying out your hair, and then straighten. Make sure to use some anti-heat protection spray and to do plenty of backcombing at your roots.

The trick for this style is to curl and pull down on the curling-irons once you have finished warming each section of your hair. This gives a loose feel to the curls and the flipped part adds the final touch to this look.

Naomi Campbell’s blunt bangs

This look makes ordinary bangs edgy and modern. Comb your bangs while they are wet, straight over your forehead and prep with some sort of volumizing moose or product. Blow dry in the direction of your bangs and flat iron them to finish.
