How to Style Your Hair Like Lauren Conrad

Lauren Conrad, aka L.C. of MTV's hit show "The Hills" and former star of MTV's "Laguna Beach" is a style icon known for her hair and fashion trend-setting. From her perfection of those golden blonde highlights to her signature headbands, Lauren's hair is hip and trendy at all times.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Variety of headbands/hair scarves

1. Consider the color. While you do not need to have Lauren's exact hue to simulate her signature look, it will certainly help in looking more like her. While her natural color is a medium to dark brown, her thin, golden blonde highlights brighten up her color and give her that great "bronde" look. This color is great and sported by several hot A-Listers, including Jennifer Aniston, Sarah Jessica Parker and Gisele.
2. Know that, in terms of style, you are going to need products and tools. Getting these waves and perfectly curled ends is not natural, sister. After blowing out hair so that it is smooth and full of body, use either a medium-barreled curling iron or medium hot rollers to create loose, casual waves.
3. Spray it down. Once you have your perfect waves that are casual yet sexy, add shine spray, serum and strong hold hairspray to keep this locks looking bouncy and like you just left the salon on Melrose.
4. Accessorize. Everyone knows that Lauren's signature look could not be complete with a super cute, medium thick headband, worn just back from the hairline with bangs either coming out the front in a stylish swoop, falling loosely around, or tucked behind. This all depends on your hair and bangs, and how they fall and are able to be styled.
5. Remember Lauren is a fashionista. Therefore, you need several headbands or scarves to mix up your new signature look. You can also wear your hair in a clean pulled back ponytail with a side part while wearing the headband as well. The possibilities are endless!
6. Check out pictures of Lauren on the web, in magazines, or on her hit show The Hills for the most up-to-date version of "The Lauren".
