Milla Jovovich

Milla Jovovich has a side part and a cowlick up front that works into this style nicely. The bangs swoop up and over where they flip up and off to the side. The ends of this bob curl under and hit the neck just under the ear. This style is mostly smooth and straight with a touch of curl toward the face.

Beyonce

The strands are smooth which can be accomplished with a relaxer treatment if they are naturally kinky. Honey blonde highlights add warmth and brightness. The mane is swept over to one side and secured with the length continuing down over the shoulder and gracing the front of her reddish orange toga style dress. Her beautiful jeweled earrings are long and dangle while they catch the light and sparkle.
