Get The Look: "The long, blunt style screams well-bred and feminine," says Bumble and Bumble stylist Jimmy Paul. Fortunately, you don't need a trust fund to rock this 'do, just healthy, medium-to-thick hair. (Spritz fine strands with volumizing spray.)

MC Recommends: Dove Advanced Care Sheer Moisture Anti-Frizz Finishing Cream; Vavoom Heat Gold Blow-In Control (for a matte but frizz-free texture); Goody So Hot Ceramic Flat Iron Comb
