Hilary Duff is sporting a popular Hollywood trendy hairstyle that is full of loose curls. Many of the celebrities can be seen lately with similar hairdos. They are steering away from the stick straight look of days gone by for a more feminine appeal with soft twists that be easily created with a medium to large barrel curling iron held vertically while winding sections around at least three times. This helps to get that spiral effect. Hair is parted in the middle with no bangs and the top portion is smoothed down to about eye level. Her honey blonde highlights contrast with the darker shades to add depth. Making sure that the locks are not the same tone as the skin will decrease the chance of looking washed out. This young beauty has chose some dark eye shadows for a dramatic theme here while the lips are a pale pink.

Emmy Rossum looks lovely here with her long brown loose waves. Her hair is parted is parted in the middle and bang-less with gentle curls that begin at about the chin. This seems to be a hot look for the celebrities this Spring and is reminiscent of retro days gone by as shown in this picture which shows a woman in the 70's with a similar hairdo. The top portion here is smooth and the use of a 3/4" inch barreled curling iron can be used on dry hair to help get this effect. Wind sections around at least 3 times and then allow to cool before styling. Very gently brush through the strands from underneath to help keep the definition of the bends.

If you love spiral curls and lots of them, take a look at this very full head of small twists. This style is reminiscent of the poodle perms from the 80's and still looks hot for today's hairstyles. If you have naturally kinky curly hair, then this hairdo would be easy to copy with a little curl enhancing shampoo and a diffuser attachment on the blow-dryer. Twist sections of hair while drying and then use fingers to style rather than trying to brush through it which would just make a big bushy mess. For those with straight locks, a visit to your professional hair stylist for a spiral perm might be the answer to help with this style. Every one's hair is different and outcomes may vary.
