How to Style Hair Like Winona Ryder

Somehow it doesn't even matter what Winona Ryder does with her real life or on screen, she continues to be beloved because women everywhere are crazy about that hair. Whether Winona wears it as a smooth and sleek red-carpet style or edgy, it looks great and sends armies of women heading for the salon shouting, "Make me look like her!"

Instructions

1. Color it. Although Winona is naturally blond, she's been dying her hair since her first major film, "Lucas," in 1986. Ask your colorist for a warm, dark brown with a touch of mahogany.

2. Cut it off. Ask your stylist for a short, layered shape with pixie bangs and a fringed neckline.

3. Apply a straightening balm or gel to damp hair if you have a slight natural wave or curl. Either comb your hair into place and let it air-dry or section it and blow-dry it smooth. If your hair is naturally straight, simply comb it, finger mousse or styling cream through it and let it air-dry.

4. After your hair is dry, work pomade through it to control frizz and add shine. Toss hair with your fingers and finish with a light spray for touchable, workable hold.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't try this look if you have naturally curly hair. This cut works best for people with straight hair or hair with a very slight natural wave.

• Avoid this cut if you have a diamond or heart-shaped face.
