Inspiring party hair

Once again Dannii Minogue looks the epitome of class and elegance with this flattering tousled bob which will work with most face shapes, except round. It's ideal for hair that has a natural wave.
 

Get the look: This style is really easy to achieve; apply label.m Volume Foam, £11, 210ml to the roots of hair that's 80 per cent dry, then blow-dry with a large, round brush, lifting sections as you go. Once hair is dry, ruffle with your fingers and spritz with a volumising spray such as TIGI S Factor Body Booster Plumping Spray, £13.30 (0844 844 0944).

Just how stunning is this style? Christina Hendricks looks the ultimate screen siren with this lightly curled bob which is gleaming with health and vitality. It also works perfectly with her understated outfit. We want!
 

Get the look: Once hair has been blow-dried, use tongs from the mid lengths to create a soft, feminine curl; we like Toni & Guy 38mm Jumbo Wave & Curl Tong, £19.99. Create a side parting so hair falls lightly over one eye for a seductive vibe. To complete the look, mist with a shine spray; we like TRESemmé Silk Shine Finishing Spray, £4.29.

Trust Sarah Harding to pull off this funky, easy-to-wear style, which is also dead simple to create on straight hair that's mid length or longer and ideal for most face shapes, especially long or square.
 

Get the look: Firstly, achieve body and smoothness by applying L'Oreal Professionel Texture Expert Smooth Essence, £16.25, 125ml (0845 6000 122) to damp hair, then blow-dry using a large, round brush. Then, when hair is virtually dry, take a sectioning comb and criss-cross your parting for a cool twist. Finally, shine all night long by smoothing a little serum through hair; we like James Brown Serum, £5.99, 50ml.

Eternal glamourpuss Kylie Minogue continues to work her signature look of long, bouncy waves which are not only perfect for the party season, but are seriously on trend once again this autumn/winter.

Get the look: Start by putting large rollers into hair that's damp, and leave to set - try Trevor Sorbie Professional Self-Grip Rollers, £14. Once they're ready to be removed, rake fingers through hair to loosen the wave and create a centre parting so hair falls freely around your face. Finally, spritz with L'Oreal Professionel Fixing Mist 4, £13.25, 300ml (0845 6000 122) to hold.

If you like to experiment with your hair like Katy Perry, try adding a temporary flash of colour to your locks with wefts for one night only. Wefts are easy to use and wear and the best thing is, you can take them out when the party's over!
 

Get the look: Here, Katy's hair has been set with large rollers to give a sexy fullness, and then individual wefts of colour applied randomly and then tonged to echo the hair's wave. Try Funky Diva Colour Flash Hair Extensions, £3.55 each (lookfantastic.com), which have easily attachable clips for a fun transformation in minutes.

Having recently decided that blondes have more fun, Kelly Osbourne's sweet, 60's inspired look is easy peasy to achieve on long hair, and works well with all face shapes except long.
 

Get the look: Firstly, rough-dry hair, then apply rollers and blast hair with a hairdryer until its dry. Alternatively, if you prefer to skip the roller stage, simply backcomb hair, apply a hairband, then backcomb the crown again for extra height. Finish by tonging the ends of the hair with Diva Professional Styling Hot Wand, £39.99 (available from leading salons), pulling over to one side.

Nobody does sleek and sexy better than Nicole Scherzinger, and the best thing about this style is that it's easy to create, especially if your hair is long. However, short-haired lovelies can still grab a slice of the action with a hairpiece that matches your own hair colour.
 

Get the look: If hair is long, simply blow-dry hair straight with a paddle brush to ensure the cuticles lie flat. Then scrape back off the face, pulling up into a high ponytail on the crown, or apply a hairpiece. Try the Scunci Expandable Ponytailer, £4.60 (available from Claire's Accessories) to hold your tail in place. Finish by running straightening irons through the lengths of the hair if you need to, and complete the look with a mist of Trevor Sorbie Professional High Shine Spray, £4.99, 100ml.

The chignon is an all-time classic style, and depending on your outfit or mood, can be made to look formal or more casual. Here, Coco Rocha has kept the look simple to complement her elaborate dress and earrings.

Get the look: This works well on hair with a slight natural kink or wave, or create movement by adding rollers or tonging the mid-lengths of the hair. Then simply pull hair back and twist it around itself, using pins to secure. To play down this style, tease a few strands out at the front, and ensure it stays the distance with a firm hold hairspray such as James Brown Hairspray, £5.99, 250ml.

Kesha is seriously rocking this dramatic do, which actually combines two styles in one - a high quiff and a thick Rapunzel-esque plait. If you want to turn heads this season, this is the  style for you!
 

Get the look: This is perfect on long, thick hair that's not been freshly washed. Start by backcombing the roots, then roll the top section of hair around a big bristle brush to create a quiff; try label.m Large Hot Brush, £9. Pin the ends in place with grips and spray on lots of firm-hold hairspray such as TIGI Bedhead Hard Head Hairspray, £7.90 to hold. Then plait the length, pulling out pieces haphazardly once done.
