Michelle Williams
We knew we were witnessing a historical hair moment when Michelle Williams was dripping in Louis Vuitton at this year's Golden Globe Awards, yet we couldn't take our eyes off her perfectly coiffed tresses. Easy layers, an ultra-deep part and her fresh platinum color pack a one-two-three punch of body and volume.

Cameron Diaz
For those with super-fine locks, soft, face-framing layers paired with a chic, chin-grazing cut will be your secret weapons for faking a fuller head of hair. Cameron Diaz (who's been known to work every style and length) demonstrates best haircuts for fine hair beautifully.

No matter your current length or style, try experimenting with a deeper part. Perhaps the easiest way to boost your fine hair with volume, switching up the side and severity of your part can instantly transform lank, limp strands. Rumpled waves (as seen on Taraji P. Henson) take the va-va-voom even further. Bring on the hair flips!

Freida Pinto
That being said, if you're devoted to your center part, fear not. Keeping your length short -- chin-length (or shoulder-length at the very longest) is optimal and maintains fine hair's natural body. Freida Pinto's relaxed, medium-sized waves keep the look light, all the while disguising M.I.A. density towards her ends. To nix pesky split ends, prep your tips before and after heat-styling with a light, nutrient-dense oil. Verb Ghost Oil, $14, is a luscious mix of moringa and argan oil -- and our most recent addiction.

Karlie Kloss
Craving the bold look of a blunt cut? Here's the rub. Blunt ends (and bangs!) are actually incredibly flattering for those with fine hair.. But, once again, it's important to stick with a shorter length. Stylists agree that long length paired with blunt ends can veer scraggly, shapeless and stringy for those with finer hair -- AKA, exactly what we're trying to avoid. Instead, do like the supermodels do and channel Karlie Kloss's jaw-skimming lob and ultra-feminine bangs.
