- Short and sweet<p> Look to queen of the crop Carey Mulligan for short hairstyle inspiration. She showcased an effortlessly chic, swept-back do at the Hollywood Film Awards last year. The result? Perfectly pretty without trying too hard.</p>

- The knock-out updo<p> Charlize Theron's side-swept bun was the most coveted hairstyle from the 2012 Golden Globes (it might of had something to do with that Swarovski hairband). Think soft, subtle waves, a side parting and choose your hair accessory wisely.</p>

- On-trend top knot<p> The top-knot was one of the biggest celebrity hair trends of 2011, and it looks like the statement style is here to stay.</p> <p> If the dramatic do puts you off, Kate Hudson trialed an understated version of the look at the 2011 British Fashion Awards. Keep hairspray to a minimum and wear with pride for the ultimate head-turning updo.</p>

- Golden girl<p> For a lesson in sultry and seductive, who better to look to than Kate Moss? The model showed off her golden curls at the launch of her Mango ad campaign and frankly, these soft, wavy locks are enough to make anyone swoon.</p>

- Chic crop<p> Sometimes, simple, sleek and straight are the rules to stick to when it comes to date night hair. Keira Knightley's no-fuss, roughed-up look is effortlessly chic and best of all, it's low-maintenance. (Just keep the hairspray handy).</p>

- Get plaited<p> For a low-key look, try a loosely-plaited do. Kim Kardashian teamed her fishtail version with extra-long lashes and nude, glossy lips for a glam, evening style.</p>

- Bed-head<p> For a style that says, "Look how good my hair looks without really trying", bed-head hair a good choice. It's flirty, fun and will have him infatuated on the first date. Leighton Meester got the look just right with her blunt fringe and unkempt locks.</p>

- Hollywood glam<p> For something a little more polished, sleek, shoulder-length waves are always a sophisticated option. Look to Miranda Kerr for a lesson in how to wear the style and if you're struggling to find the perfect finish to this classic look - a cherry red lipstick should do the trick.</p>

- Side-swept curls<p> Rachel Weisz showed us how volumised hair should be done at the premiere of <em>Deep Blue Sea</em> last year. She looked as gorgeous as ever with her textured curls swept over one shoulder. Wear with some statement jewels for maximum eye-catching impact.</p>

- Perfect ponytail<p> Kirsten Dunst proved that ponytails can be a stylish solution when you're stuck for long hair ideas. Her side-swept fringe and loosely tide-back locks looked-oh-so-pretty with her perfect pink pout.</p>
