CELEBRITY HAIRSTYLIST

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, turbopowerhairdyer.com

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, starringbytedgibson.com

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, i-nbeauty.com

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, amazon.com

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, kiehls.com

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, aveda.com
