Gwen Stefani is known as a fashion icon. From her chic clothes and accessories to her hip hair and makeup, women often attempt to emulate her style. She rose to fame in the band No Doubt, and she rose even further to the top when she rocked the world on her own. If you love Gwen Stefani's hair, you can style your hair like hers. It will add glamor to your look.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Bleach your hair platinum blond. Over the years, Gwen has rocked a variety of different hair colors, but platinum blond is her signature color. If you bleach your hair at home, make sure to purchase hair toner as well. This will help to give your hair the white blond look that Gwen has. For best results, see a professional hair dresser who can bleach your hair in the safest way possible.

  2. Step 2

    Add bangs. Gwen regularly wears a variety of different hairstyles. One of her signature looks is shoulder-length hair with blunt bangs. Use a straightening iron to get your hair very straight. You can then use a large curling iron to turn the ends under. Finish the look with hairspray to keep stray hairs down.

  3. Step 3

    Go retro. Gwen often wears her hair in a retro style. Curl your hair using hot rollers. Separate hair into three sections and gather into loose ponytails. Drape the hair up and over the top of the head, using bobby pins to secure the curls in place. Add real or artificial flowers to accent the look and cover the bobby pins.

  4. Step 4

    Make a Gwen Stefani-style poof. Separate the hair surrounding your face from the rest of your hair. Put the remaining hair into a high ponytail. Spray hairspray all over the front section of hair. Take a comb and back-comb the hair for added volume. Smooth the front section back and add it to the rest of the ponytail. The front section should remain in a poof with lots of volume.

  5. Step 5

    Swirl your bangs. Gwen often wears totally unique styles and this up do is no exception. Pull your hair back into a slick bun, leaving your front bangs section of the hair out of the bun. Take the bangs section and swirl them into a roll. The bangs should resemble a rolling wave from the front view. Use lots of gel and hairspray to secure the style.

  6. Step 6

    Achieve a sweet and simple Gwen Stefani look. Sometimes Gwen opts for more classic looks like a basic black headband. Curl your hair using either large hot rollers or a curling iron. Brush out the curls for a soft look and then pull hair back from your face using a basic headband.
