Do It Yourself - How to Get Hollywood's Best Hairstyles at Home

Elizabeth Banks' look is ultra-polished and a cool way to display your favorite clips and barrettes. To recreate her look, begin with super-straight and smooth tresses. It helps to apply a product like Bumble and bumble Straight Blow Dry to towel-dried hair and then blow dry using a large round brush. Or, using a straight iron on dry hair will work, too. Once you've gotten the requisite texture, begin by backcombing hair through the front hairline and crown. Next, draw back a section of hair across the middle of the front hairline (a width of about four inches) and smooth it back while maintaining as much height from the backcombing as possible. To secure this swath of hair, add a barrette or a hair clip or collect it in a hair elastic or ribbon.
