Plus, all the spray and gel necessary for this updo really left her hair looking like a flat shell instead of shiny (which is anyway a problem for those of us with blonde hair, it rarely reflects enough light). What do you think? And of course, if you want to get the look yourself, here’s how you can get this cool jetsons up-do yourself!

We think she did an amazing job – Minnie looks fabulous in a chic updo, created in part by using Runway Tools’ EasyCurl Curling Iron.

First, Selena’s long inside out braid was perfect for her heart shaped face and smaller features because of the poof at the front of her hairline. This elongated her face, making her look taller and thinner (not that she needs it, but still, for the rest of us). It’s also an instant face-lift since the sides really need to be swept up high and tight for this braid.

It’s cool since the braid is on the outside, so you can see more of the detail. Love it!

Bella’s up-do added more flair to just your regular ponytail. It also was a way to glam up bangs – blow them out straight so they have a little more body, rather than sweeping them to the side.

Modern Family bombshell Sophia Vergara is actually a natural blonde, and has gone back to her roots lately. What?? She claims that she has dyed her hair brunette because she didn’t fit the stereotypical profile of a latina by having blonde hair.

Either way, her old (or, new) blonde haircolor and choppy cut – with long piece-y layers, looks fabulous on her. Although all the back and forth with the colors has left her ends a little dry and brittle looking.  (dryness and split ends is always much easier to hide cover up with a glossy chocolate toner).

If you ever end up with the same dryness, a keratin protein mask 2x’s a week (then gradually stepping down to once a week, then once a month) will fix that. Use with our Fusion iron to lock in moisture and color, especially after repeated hair colorings. A word of warning about keratin masks: make sure not to leave it on for longer than the instructions state – or it’ll make pieces too brittle and break off!!

Khloe Kardashian showed off her new hairstyle (and puppy!) – ombre ringlets. We think it looks natural and gives her a relaxed, Cali-glam look – which totally suits her more than the old too-dark hair color and vampy lipstick.

Here’s how you can get Khloe’s style:

1. Get that Ombre color you’v been thinking about for the past few months. Spring is here! Here’s how to do ombre color yourself

2. Using a fine comb, do a deep side part the opposite direction of your normal part (this will boost root volume in the front without need for product). Changing the side of your part is also a good way to prevent hair loss (using the same part for too long, hair sometimes falls out along the part from ponytails, etc) and an easy way to get a new look without having to pull out the scissors!

3. Run some curl mousse through your hair and let hair air dry, if you have time. If not, blowdry sans brush with your head flipped down, to give you some root volume.

4.  Using a curling iron wand like our awesome EasyCurl, curl 1-inch sections. Start about 3-4 inches from the roots, wrapping hair around the barrel so the curls spiral away from your face. Don’t strive for perfect here, it will look better if the curls are a little haphazard.

We love Nicole Richie’s casual but done up-do she sported at the Spring Summer 2013 Paris Fashion Week. She did two loose dutch braids on either side of her part, then pinned them messily up in the back. Very Cute, and easy to do yourself.

Dutch braid? Here’s how to do it yourself

Avi Elkayam, founder of Runway Tools, suspects that there are a lot of factors that led to Tori’s roasted ringlet:

“The hair at your temples is usually finer and weaker than hair anywhere else on your head – so it was too delicate for that kind of styling. It’s likely that her curling iron was set at a temperature much higher than she needed to achieve a style. Tori’s hair is light and very fine, so she likely needs a very low temperature like 200F-250F to get a lasting curl. Most wand irons just have high and low settings – she probably set it on high to make sure it worked for the video. And she probably only needs to hold the iron in place for 3-5 seconds – I could tell she left it in place a little too long. Lastly, the Tresemme spray she used, which she suspects was the cause, contains a lot of alcohol, so it’s very drying, and possibly contributed to her hair falling off in one big piece.”

First: Jennifer Lawrence: classic strapless gown, perfect opaque pink short manicure, and twisted bun up-do. Her stylist twisted back the hair on the sides of her head, gathering it into a bun (pinned over a bun-filler, most likely, for added oomph). Even with long hair, it’s hard to make it look full enough in a bun sometimes. The result was gorgeous, as you can see:

Anne Hathaway has grown out her pixie cut into a deep side part, comb-over with side bangs. Sounds Trump-ish when you write it, but it actually looked glamorous and stunning:

In contrast to Anne Hathaway’s side swept bangs, Michelle Obama’s video link showed her with long and too heavy bangs which made her look tired, and a little “sooo last year”. (and slightly cross-eyed? very odd) Even the queen of bangs, Zooey Deschanel, doesn’t rock these heavy bangs anymore:

Charlize Theron’s pixie cut was also too severe and droid-like, and looks like she stole it from Daniel Lewis, aka sgt. Nicholas Brody from Homeland. So she basically is rocking a boy’s regular:

Lastly, Kristen Steward looked like a hot mess. Dark circles under her eyes, her signature no-smile, walking in on crutches, messy dirty hair. Questionable.
