Orfeh Full Bodied Long Hairstyle

Songwriter Orfeh has a great curly style that is cut into layers for maximum fullness.  Her multi-tones of blonde help to keep it more natural looking, though a camera is not always kind.

Aubrey O'Day at the Premiere of "Body of Lies"

Aubrey O'Day Long Assymetrical hairstyle

Today's styles are infamous for designs that require little to no time and effort.  Here Aubrey O'Day has clipped her length off to the side and set in a few bends, while simply pulling out a small section along the front to accent her face.

Anna Maria Perez at the St Jude's Children's Hospital Benefit

Anna Maria Perez Formal Teen Hairstyle

Securing the length into an updo like this is nothing new for formal designs, having the curl loops balanced in perfect symmetry is usually the most difficult task.  Here Anna Maria Perez updates the look with her long straight fringe, twisted ringlets down the sides and back, all while adorning the entire style with a retro 1960's inspiration; tied up in this earth-toned bow.

Gretchen Bonaduce at the 11th Annual Lili Claire Foundation Benefit

Gretchen Bonaduce Long Hairstyle

The best part of Gretchen Bonaduce's hairstyle is out of the picture in her long layers of curls that flow down her back.  One of the biggest challenges we face when styling our hair is getting the front to look alright and this style makes it easy though someone else will have fun creating ringlets, etc. in your length.

Gwen Stefani Leaving "Color Me Mine" in Beverly Hills

Gwen Stefani Fresh Platinum Color

Gwen Stefani obviously just had her regrowth done and overall color revitalized.   A loose, formal look with crimped tendrils is very feminine on her and gives us more insight to her infinite beauty.

Louisa Lytton at the "Inside Soap Awards" 2008

Louisa Lytton Formal Hairdo

This red carpet look on Louisa Lytton allows us to see how an updo would appear if some of the length were left out in a ponytail design.   Combining this latest trend into what is called a half-do is a quick clever way to get you out the door quickly and look lovely at the same time.  This simple design could easily be adorned with baby's breath or other choice of add-ons.

Kellie Pickler Leaving the ABC Studios After Appearing on "Live with Regis and Kelly"

Kellie Pickler Short Hairstyle

Does Kellie Pickler have medium length hair or just layers that fall into this category, while any long length hides along the back?   Side sections were vertically curled and left to fall freely in the breeze.

Gemma Merna at the "Inside Soap Awards" 2008

Gemma Merna Formal Hairstyle

With only one view of a hairstyle, it's difficult to determine whether it is medium length or longer.  This particular style on Gemma Merna does, in fact, look as if it falls right around her shoulders and it's been beautifully designed in a half-do with the freefalling tendrils curled in crisp, large ringlets.
