Celebrity Hairstyle of the Week

OK�a little while back I said I was going to start posting a celebrity hairstyle of the day from Instyle�s Look of the Day. Well, I soon realized that not all the celebrity hairstyles were worthy of your time. I mean there are only so many times I can tell you how to create a ponytail. So I�ve changed it up a bit to Celebrity Hairstyle of the Week. Each Friday I�ll pick the best hairstyle from Instyle�s offerings of the week and focus on that one. Sound fair? Well then�let�s get started!

This week�s winner is Penelope Cruz�s sexy long layered hairstyle. See it here.

Penelope Cruz�s hairstyle is uncomplicated but oh-so-sexy. To create this celebrity hairstyle use a texturizing lotion to give lightweight hold, body and shine to the hair. Apply the product to damp hair and section off the hair into manageable sections�pin up the top layers. Use a large paddle brush to blow dry the sections of hair, pointing the nozzle of your blow dryer at a downward angle to prevent flyaway hair. You�ll also want to give your roots a shot from underneath while you hold the sections of hair up and out from the head to promote volume.

Create a middle part when you get to the top layer and don�t forget to create some extra volume at the crown area by blow drying up and back. Once your hair is completely dry coat your hands with a little lightweight styling wax and further define those bottom layers. A light misting of hairspray sets this sexy celebrity hairstyle.

* As a side note�pay close attention to Penelope Cruz�s highlights. Note how they are light enough to be noticeable but don�t look like streaks of lighter color�that�s what you should be aiming for in the highlight department. Enhance�don�t overwhelm your base color.
