We love the hair headband! It keeps hair off your face while also adding a stylish touch to the average Pippi Longstocking braids. If Jessica Alba’s look seems complicated at first glance, fear not! We have a short list of tips to get this style quick. Make sure your hair is straight of wavy – curly hair will make it harder to braid and keep in place. Once relatively straight, make a center part from your hairline to the nape of your neck. Then braid each side. (Tip: Even though you’ll take these out later, secure each braid with a hair tie while styling.) Lift the right braid and wrap it from each to ear. Remove the tie and pin. Repeat by doing the same to the left braid. In addition to pinning near the ears, you can now begin to tuck pins discreetly throughout the braids. This way, the hairband doesn’t begin to droop and loosen the pins near the ears. Finally, tuck any loose hair underneath the braid and secure with pins. You should be all set! If it seems like a braid might sway, stick it with a pin, but remember to pin underneath the hairband, so no one will know your secret! Enjoy!

Former model and now actress Lily Cole has undergone a major change. Famous for her bright red tresses, the doll-faced starlet has recently dyed her hair a rich chocolate brown.

As of now, we’re not quite sure if this decision was for a new film in the making or simply a lifestyle choice. Either way, tell us what you think of Lily’s new look!

It can be a pain when every new hair trend seems to require curly-haired girls to pull out the straightening iron and blow dryer. But don’t worry—it’s time to put those hot tools down, because this season’s ushering in four hot new hairstyles that require curls!
Badgley Mischka, Imaxtree A deep side part (hair barrette optional) is a polished look. Although this hairstyle is shown with volume only on the sides, which you can easily get by sleeping with damp hair in a tight ponytail, it would look just as lovely with entirely curly hair.
Marc Jacobs, Imaxtree For girls with already short hair (or looking to go shorter for spring) a cute ’30s style bob is a fashionable option. This wash-and-go style is great for the girl on the go.
Z Spoke by Zac Posen, Imaxtree For an edgier look the ruffled up-do is right on trend. Simply crop the sides and back of the hair short and keep it long on the top and front. If you’re not ready for the chop, fake it with long hair by twisting the back into a french twist, bobby pinning the “tail” forward, and smoothing the sides down with a dab of gel.
Marc Jacobs, Imaxtree Or for the truly adventurous (or truly time pressed) go big with Marc Jacobs frizzy styles. Simply brush through curls and pin the hair back behind your ears or smooth back with some hair gel.

Thick, eyelash grazing bangs à la Jane Birkin are still a fresh look for spring, and a great way to quickly change up your hairstyle. One caveat for this spring trend: if you have very wavy or curly hair—unless you are prepared to blow dry your bangs every morning—you might want to skip this look. However, if you have a long or oval shaped face, with straight or slightly wavy hair, then these bangs were meant for you. To style thick bangs: dry the bangs straight, then spray a bit of hairspray onto a brush, and brush through the bangs to keep them in place.

Oh if only the Brazilian queen of tropical fruit could see her influence now! More than six decades have passed since Carmen Miranda donned her festively flamboyant fruit hat that would later become the infamous Chiquita Banana logo, and now the fruit-happy style is back. For spring ’11, Miranda’s exotic flare and charisma re-emerged, brightening the most elite runways. Designers enticed our palate with all things edible through quirky, playful prints: banana’s adorn flouncy skirts and Hawaiian shirts at Prada while Stella McCartney sliced her lemon dresses with two zesty thigh-high slits. To prevent the look from being too costumey, the citrus shades are balanced by clean lines and tempered by stark white backgrounds. We can’t wait to see who wears this tasty trend! Would you?

- Rag & Bone’s latest ad campaign “Girls by Girls” has the model not just posing for the photo, but being the photographer as well. They are formatted to look like the flyers you see at college campuses and on community bulletin boards, with the rip-able info for Rag & Bone at the bottom. The idea of course, is to up the cool and authentic street factor of Rag & Bone by plastering these across every available surface in a guerrilla-style ad campaign. With photos this gorgeous, we wouldn’t mind having our own walls covered with them also.

- Taylor Momsen was seen first in this green Alice+Olivia dress and she wore the rouched skirt high up on her waist with some edgy accessories while playing Jenny Humphry on Gossip Girl. "How I met your mother" star Cobie Smulders wore the same dress, but in a much more conservative, classic style recently as well. Who wins this fashion battle?!

- Wow who would have thought Paris Hilton can still book a runway show?! She was on the catwalk at the Sao Paulo fashion week for the Triton show. What do you think? Was she fierce or was her walk just one big fail? Vote!
