How to Get Lindsay Lohan's Hair

While Lindsay Lohan has starred in a number of Disney movies, her reputation is far from enchanted. The troubled Lohan has fought alcohol and drug addiction, become a regular in rehab and spent much of her fortune on cocaine and liquor, but she looks great doing it. If you long for LiLo's locks, all you need is patience, a little know-how and a willingness to experiment with color. If you're lucky, you may even grace the celebrity news pages more often than Brangelina.

Things You'll Need

• Volumizing hair gel and hair spray
• Foam curlers
• Color-boosting shampoo
• Deep conditioner
• Leave-in conditioner
• Straightening iron

Instructions

1. Get Lindsay's long, wavy hairstyle from "Herbie Fully Loaded" by washing and conditioning your hair with volumizing products like Matrix Amplify. Then towel dry your hair gently. Apply a thickening spray and comb through your hair with your fingers. Divide your hair into several equal sections, wrap them around foam rollers and allow your hair to dry overnight. Take out the rollers in the morning and touch up loose ends with a 1/2-inch curling iron.

2. Embrace change. Go red or blond. Try brunette. Actually, make that reddish-blond. Maybe you can't afford to pay a stylist like Lohan's to make those frequent color changes, but you'll find some temporary coloring products at Folica.com that allow you to change the hue of your tresses at a moment's notice.

3. Get Lindsay's natural hair color by transforming blond or brunette hair to a coppery auburn. Remember, after you color your hair red, you'll need to touch it up regularly to keep naturally blond hair from fading to pink, or naturally brown hair from fading to orange as the red begins to wash out.

4. Pamper your hair with deep conditioners, hair masks and hot oil treatments, especially if you plan to color as often as Lindsay does.

5. Use your Sedu to get Lindsay's sleek, straight look. Sedu's hair straightening iron is made of ceramic tourmaline, which is less damaging to over-styled hair. Whether you have naturally straight or kinky hair, you'll want to apply a leave-in conditioner before drying your hair and smoothing it with a Sedu iron (to prevent excess heat damage). Avoid applying the Sedu iron directly to your hair's roots. Instead, start straightening 2 to 3 inches from your scalp, maintaining your crown volume while creating a sleek look. Spray a finishing serum on your completed hairstyle so light will reflect off your mane.

• Driving under the influence can take a serious toll on your Lindsay Lohan look, as evidenced in the starlet's latest mugshot pose published at CNN (see Resources below). This is not a look you should go for, unless you'd like to spend a couple of days doing community service at the morgue.
