Hot Celebrity Hairstyle Trend: Twists

From tight knots to loose coils, these hairstyles put a new twist on practical elegance

Diane Kruger Kruger looks like royalty with this crown twist, which works best for those with medium or shoulder-length hair. To get this look, create a side part then smooth the side with less hair down with a pomade or wax (try Goldwell Profiler Mousse Wax, $18). On the other side of your head, start from the top, and twist along the edge of your hairline, gathering hair as you reach the nape of your neck. Secure the twist with pins and then gather the rest of your hair from the other side and twist it along the bottom of your head. Tuck the ends into your twist and pin the entire twist down.

I like Ashley Green's hair. Yes, these looks are a little messy, but that keeps them from looking too formal, and it also makes them easier to do quickly!

alot of these are very sloppy and unpolished looking. i can do better w/o a mirror..but overall a very nice idea.
