Lea Michele and Fergie A huge hairstyle trend right now is the sleek, center-parted ponytail, shown off here by Lea Michele from "Glee" and Fergie. It's the perfect five-minute style for any straight-haired beauty. Here's how to recreate it: Start with damp hair, and run a small amount of smoothing gel through it (try Biolage Smoothing Gel, $13 ). Create your middle part, then blow-dry hair using a flat paddle brush like Mason Pearson Universal Nylon Brush, $115. Once hair is dry, secure it into a mid-height pony. Wrap a one-inch section of your ponytail around the elastic to cover it, securing underneath the pony with a bobby pin.

Wish I didn't have such straight hair, it's so plain and hard to curl.

I have pin straight hair and spent a ot of time fighting with it over the years. Now I accept it and opt for styles I can wear without even needing products or tools. A bob f diffeerent lengths, angled bob, I can go to bed with damp hair even and just spritz and go, use hairdryer and tools about 3x a yr. I do use good quality Aveda shampoo, conditioner and some hairspray, thats it. All that time and I have perfect hair for styles everyone is straightening their hair to get. No perms for 10+ yrs, embace your hair and work with it such a relief and hair willl be healthy, 5 mins to style, no need for masses of roduct. My only advice really is to use quality shampoo and styling products, you can afford it whn no expensive hair upkeep and it is the secret to embracing your hair in its natural state, 5 haircuts a year and $125 for product, there are likely many great lines outthere but I can tell you that Aveda will not disappoint if you have the correct items. Aveda salons are exclusive product and a good stylist is willing to giveyou trial as they know you will be back!!!

Nice article. I think Lucy and Reese have the best hair. Looks healthy and natural, not like the other girl's, way too much gel and hair spray.

Fergie (or anyone else with wide face and short neck) should NEVER wear her hair center-parted, just stretches her even more in the wrong direction. Love the bobs and Lucy liu's hair. Will try some of the looks for sure!

They look great but it's easy for celebrities... it's their job to look good. It's not so easy to recreate these styles by yourself.
