Edgy pixie
Rihanna's unique pixie is perfect for those who love experimenting with their short hair. To get it:

1. This first part takes some serious bravery. Ask your stylist to shave one side of your head, and leave long layers on the other side.
2. The rest is easy. Just mist hair with volumizing spray and blow dry straight using a round brush.
3. Use a flat small iron (try ghd Original Ceramic Styling Iron 1 inch, $220) to straighten your layers for more definition, and mist with shine spray to finish.

Angled bob
Victoria Beckham's trademark hairstyle is all about the cut. Once you have it, it's totally easy to style. To get it:

1. Ask your stylist to give you longer layers in the front, and shorter pieces in the back for a stacked shape.
2. Right when you get out of the shower, towel off your hair and apply mousse (try Sebastian Professional Mousse Forte, $13.99) to boost body.
3. Blow dry hair with a large round brush, lifting at the crown for more volume.
4. Once your hair is dry, use a flat iron on the front of your hair to get it extra straight and sleek.
5. Mist all over with lightweight hairspray like Aveda Witch Hazel Hair Spray, $12 and shake your head a bit to loosen up the layers.
