With sought-after A-List muses as sources of inspiration, celebrity hairstylist Ted Gibson sets the stage for the looks we covet most on the most photographed manes.

Sandra Oh
“The bangs were very important for this look. The right texture, the right volume and the right movement is what it’s all about. A great blowdryer, like the Turbo Power Twin Turbo 3900, is also essential.” ($289)
Natasha Lyonne
“For this cover shoot, I cut Natasha’s hair into a Stevie Nicks–inspired, vibed shag. What helps keep it together is a really good, workable product with a lot of hold like my Starring Shooting Star Texture Meringue.” ($52)
Tessa Thompson
“To get this far-out pompadour, the blow-dry is key. I used Intelligent Nutrients Amplifi-hair Blow Out Cream to give ultimate results.” ($36)
Chloë Sevigny
“To play up her chic sailor-girl look, I created an S-pattern using a Hot Tools Pro Artist 24K Gold 1-inch barrel Marcel curling iron, then came back with a quarter-inch curling iron to define the ridges.” ($50)

Melanie Lynskey
“I tucked Melanie’s center part behind her ears to open up her face and bring her beautiful eyes to the forefront. To give added luster and long-lasting control, use a cream shine product like Kiehl’s Creme with Silk Groom.” ($26)
Sydney Sweeney
“On Sydney, the name of the game was volume. This sleek, modern take of a ‘60s backcomb calls for fullness, so we did a volume blow-dry using Aveda’s Control Force Firm Hold Hair Spray.” ($35)
