How to Get Hair Like Beyonce

Whether it's braided, wavy, curly or straight, long and glamorous hair is Beyonce Knowles' signature hair style. With a little attention to detail and some extra time, any aspiring songstress or Beyonce fan can obtain Beyonce's diva hair styles in a matter of hours.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Shampoo
• Aussie Three-Minute Miracle Conditioner
• Infusium 23 Smoothing and Defining Lotion
• 100 percent human hair extensions
• Flat iron
• Blow dryer
• Rubber bands
• Holding spray
• Brush
• Sculpting hair gel
• Ponytail extension

1. Wash and condition your hair with a deep conditioner. Beyonce's stylist suggests Aussie Three-Minute Miracle Conditioner. Once the hair is dry, add Infusium 23 Smoothing and Defining Lotion to achieve Beyonce's volume and shine.

2. Have a professional stylist put hair extensions in your hair for added length. Beyonce wears 100 percent human hair extensions added to each strand of hair for added length and thickness, and to prevent unnecessary damage to her natural hair.

3. Decide which luxurious Beyonce hair style you want to wear. For sleek, straight hair, Beyonce's stylist, Kimberly Kimble, flat irons her hair prior to pinning it up in Beyonce's famed ponytail look. Another option is to leave the flat-ironed hair down to hang below the shoulders.

4. Try to achieve Beyonce's wavy look by either roller-setting your hair or by braiding your hair. After washing your hair and adding a style-setting spray, set your hair on large Velcro rollers and allow hair to dry naturally or use a blow dryer. If you don't have rollers, separate your hair into small sections and braid starting at the crown and working to the nape of the neck. Secure the braids with rubber bands and allow hair to dry naturally and completely. For either method, take your hair down and separate and style the hair with your fingers. Don't comb because combing will make hair appear frizzy.

5. Wear a high-extension ponytail as Beyonce did when she received her star on the Walk of Fame. After washing and conditioning your hair, blow-dry your hair straight with a concentrator attachment. Once completely dry, spray your hair with firm holding spray, and brush your hair into a ponytail at the top of your head near the back of the crown. Smooth the sides and edges of your hair with a sculpting gel before attaching the ponytail extension to your hair.

Tips & Warnings

• Beyonce's stylist owns and operates Kimble Hair Studio in Southern California and does a variety of hair extensions.
• Make sure the ponytail holder and ponytail match your hair color and texture.
