Cheryl Cole Hairstyles

Cheryl Cole is a singer and entertainer. She became part of the popular girl band "Girls Aloud". Cheryl has done some ball room dancing and even some modeling. Her long hair always looks so chic and her wardrobe always in style.

Is it just us or does celebrity hair seem to grow at a phenomenal rate? Well, this is not a superhuman skill gifted to those that make the A-list, or even the D-list, it's all down to the magic of hair extensions. Be they human hair extensions, synthetic ones or good old clip hair extensions, celebrities can't get enough of Rapunzel length locks.

Cheryl Cole's tumbling brunette tresses are courtesy of real hair extensions, the Lucinda Ellery salon being a favourite first port of call for faking length and fullness. In fact, Girls Aloud could keep the hair extension business afloat by themselves with Sarah, Cheryl, Kimberley and Nicola all choosing the best hair extensions to add glamour and variety to their styles.


They're not the only ones to opt for hair extensions to create that Hollywood babe look however. High School Musical hotties Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale have both succumbed to the allure of lengthy locks without the irritating years of waiting the rest of us have to endure.

One thing we will say about this beauty trend is that cheap hair extensions are going to look just that, cheap. Don't believe us? Then take a look through our gallery and pay particular attention to the D-listers... you have been warned.

Elvis Presley Hairstyle

Elvis set the style trends for men throughout his life with his famous side burns and full tousled look

This style works best if hair is straight or has a loose curl or wave. Start with a shaped to fit style cut with full tapered sides and neckline. Front is left longer to stand full and brushed back without a part. Sideburns are sometimes full and stop at bottom of ears. Works with most face shapes.

To Get This Look This style requires a few extra styling steps to achieve the desired effects If hair is wavy-curly type. Begin by combing a dab Styling Balm through damp hair, section and blow dry to smooth surface and relax curl. When dry, brush a puff of Foaming Pomade through hair for shape, shine and frizz control
For Straight Hair, comb a puff of Gel Mousse or Spray Gel through damp hair, comb in place to air dry or blow dry and brush a puff of Foaming Pomade through for texture, shape. For high gloss and firm hold, mist with Finishing Spray and finger comb for natural look

What is the most iconic trademark regarding Elvis. The first and foremost must be the unique Elvis hairstyle. In the mid 50s Elvis had natural dishwater blonde hair with long sideburns. In the 60s his hair was styled by Hollywood and dyed jet black and without the trademark side burns. In the 70s Elvis' wore his hair longer and grew his side burns.

Recently, Elvis Presley has topped a poll of the most iconic hairstyles of all time. The King, who was blond but dyed his hair black, beat Marilyn Monroe, who came second in the survey. Third was Audrey Hepburn.
