Get Mischa Barton's Hair

I didn't really know who to feature next, for my celebrity hair how-to. But I was searching Instyle and the first one that came up was Mischa Barton, so she will be the next featured celebrity.

So the first style will come from Instyle. It is the "full, curly side style."

Tools:
Blow Dryer
Texturizer
Round Brush
Large Curling Iron
Bobby Pins
Hairspray

Step 1: Before blow drying, add a texturizer to wet hair, and then blow dry.

Step 2: Use the round brush, create a lift at the root.

Step 3: Curl small sections around the entire head, with the large curling iron, starting at the middle of hair shaft, instead of the bottom. Also try using different size curling irons.

Step 4: Tease hair at the crown and then pull hair to the side, secure with bobby pins, and spray to secure.


The next one comes from Bella Sugar, and its Mischa's "O.C. soft waves."

Tools:
Brush
Volumizing Mousse

Bobby Pins/Hair Clips
Large Curling Iron
Hairspray

Step 1: After washing your hair, towel dry hair, brush, set your part, and work in a palm size of volumizing mousse from roots to ends.

Step 2: Blow dry hair straight and then section hair into about eight even parts and secure them with bobby pins or hair clips

Step 3: Use a large curling iron, on medium to low heat, starting with the undermost layers, but instead of opening the curling iron wrap hair around the barrel and let sit for about seven sections.

Step 4: Instead of brushing your hair out, flip head over and shake out your hair then flip back, and gently finger the curls to relax them into waves.

Step 5: Reset your part and then spray to secure. If you have bangs just brush them lightly to one side and spray that area a little more heavily.


This next style, which is very simple, comes from Sugarscape, and its her "boho twists."

Step 2: Using your fingers, scoop up hair into a low ponytail that sits at ear level, and fasten with a hair elastic.

Step 3: Wrap and twist hair around the hair elastic to form a loose bun and secure with a bobby pin.

Step 4: Pull individual pieces out from the bun and secure them in place so the ends are hanging free.
