To make these sexy curls, you have to apply heat to long hair. And according Javier Oropeza of Sterling Salon in Studio City, California, you can apply heat in two different ways: Hot rollers or a curling iron. Oropeza says a curling iron is the better bet for people who already have a little wave and layers in their hair.

Step 1: Wash and dry your hair.

Step 2: Apply a volumizer for curls, such as Barex Mousse or Barex Re-define Creme on damp hair to keep curls intact.

Take your bangs (or, if you don’t have bangs, take the hair in the front of your head that would be your bangs) and tease them at the root. Brush the hair back, smoothing it on top of your head; push that section of hair forward, just a bit, so you’re left with a pompadour-like pouf in the front. Use bobby pins to pin the ends down. Spray with a bit of hair spray then sweep up the rest of your hair in any updo you like!

No style choice is more personal than your scent. Whether you like your perfume intoxicatingly strong or clean and minimal, it always reveals something about you.

Why is it that guys always have gorgeous lashes, while women so often must resort to powerful mascaras to compensate? Invest in what might be the most perfect mascara ever created--Imju Fiberwig, in Pure Black--and you might never be jealous of your boyfriend's eyelashes again. It’s the best-selling mascara in Japan for a reason.
