Celebrity hairstylist Renato Campora shares how he created this "old Hollywood glamour" look with a "modern twist."
How-to: Step 1: Working with wet hair, start by applying a volumizing mousse to your roots and smoothing cream like Frederic Fekkai Coiff Controle Ironless Straightening Balm, $25 from mid shaft to ends to create volume and smooth out your hair. Step 2: Create a deep side part and blow dry hair using a large round brush. Step 3: Set your hair in large hot rollers and let the look sit for 10 minutes. Once you release the hair from the rollers, brush through it to create volume and the seamless curled shape. Step 4: Spritz a stronghold hairspray like TIGI Hard Head Hard Hold Hairspray, $15.99 all over for long-lasting hold.

Here's how hairstylist Richard Marin, who created this perfect-for-a-swanky-night-out curly chignon, recommends recreating it.
How-to: Step 1: Apply a texturizer or curl enhancing mousse like Pantene Pro-V Curly Hair Series Curl Defining Mousse, $3.99 to wet hair and blow dry strands using a diffuser attachment to enhance natural curl and wave patterns. Step 2: Use a small three quarter-inch barrel iron like Remington Pearl Ceramic Professional Styling Wand, $29.99 to curl random sections of hair all over. Step 3: Shake out curls, but don't brush them. Mist all over with flexible-hold hairspray. Step 4: Using your fingers, rake hair back into a loose low ponytail. Twist into a loose bun at the nape of your neck and secure with bobby pins.

Danilo, hairstylist to the stars, shares how he created this romantic half-updo style.
How-to: Step 1: Start by misting clean wet hair at the roots with a root lifting spray (try Ojon Plump and Hold Root Lifting Spray, $22). Step 2: Blow dry your hair with a large round brush, then use a dollop of smoothing cream like Pantene Pro-V Restore Beautiful Lengths Smoothing Balm, $4.99 and coat three-inch sections of hair before curling with an iron. Step 3: Using a medium-to-large barreled curling iron, curl hair under one three-inch section of hair at a time. Step 4: Once all of your hair is curled and cool, brush through it to reveal voluminous waves. Lightly smooth a bit more cream through your waves, as needed, to tame any flyaways. Step 5: Create a side part and smooth hair back on each side with your fingers, pinning back the hair above your ears. Step 6: Finish by misting with flexible-hold hairspray.

Celeb hairstylist April Webster offers her advice on how you can create this classic side-parted twist.
How-to: Step 1: Working with clean damp hair, apply a golf ball-sized dollop of volumizing mousse like Pureology SilkBodifier, $25 through hair. Step 2: Blow dry hair using a large round brush, lifting at the root and applying heat downwards to smooth out strands and create volume. Create a side part and sweep bangs to the side. Step 3: When hair is completely dry, apply a pea-sized amount of shine serum like Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Anti-Frizz Serum, $5.03 all over and begin to smooth hair back into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck, leaving your long side bang hanging. Step 4: Twist the ponytail tightly in a clockwise upward turn to create a French twist, pinning with bobby pins along the way. Once you reach the crown of your head, fold the ends down and tuck them into the twist. Pin to secure. Step 5: Use a stronghold hairspray and the backside of a comb to shape hair and tame flyaways.

Celebrity stylist David Lopez shares tips for recreating this fun side pony with blunt fringe.
How-to: Step 1: Prep clean, damp hair with a styling mousse like Aussie Real Volume Styling Mousse, Maximum Hold, $4.99. Then, blow hair straight with a flat paddle brush. Step 2: Wrap even sections of hair around a one-inch curling iron. After finishing, gently rake fingers through curls with a matte pomade like Abba Pure Pomade, $15.99 to create a clean texture. Step 3: Gently pull curls into a side ponytail leaving out a small section in front of your ear opposite the pony. Step 4: Wrap that hanging section around the ponytail using bobby pins to secure it into place. Step 5: If you have blunt, heavy bangs like Riley, glide a flat iron over them to give them extra polish. For mega shine, finish the style with a light mist of shine spray.
Award shows like the Golden Globes give all us normal, non-famous people the glorious advantage of spectatorship. We get to sit back in the comfort of our couches, cheese puffs in hand, and mock, obsess-over, scoff at, laugh at, love, or hate the hairstyles, makeup looks and dresses parading down the always fabulous red carpet. What's more fun than that?
To us, the only thing better than judging the best celebrity hairstyles like some sort of Roman Emperor surveying the gilded crop, is getting the inside scoop on how we can recreate the ones we love sans a hairstylist. You see, despite not being a celebrity, we still get to put down those darn cheese puffs (put down the cheese puffs already) and attend fabulous parties, fancy dinner dates, or fun nights out that too are worthy of gorgeous hairstyles. So to help you master the hairstyles we went gaga over while watching the red carpet and the Golden Globes presentation, we gathered the looks we loved and asked celebrity hairstylists (most who actually created the red carpet looks themselves) how to easily copy the styles seen. They gave us detailed step-by-step how-tos for all the hot trends like sleek French twists, big curls, and soft flowing waves.
