There are celebrity parties and soirees, and then there is the fun-filled glamour fest that is the Metropolitan Museum Ball. While some call it the Oscars of the fashion world, the annual Met Ball or The Costume Institute Gala celebrates the annual opening of the Metropolitan Museum’s (The Met) fashion exhibit at the Costume Institute. For one night in New York, Hollywood and the fashion world come together in spectacular fashion providing a fascinating synergy between the world’s top designers and their muses
For most hair was kept in simple buns or ponytails as to not distract from the fabulous details on their dresses as shown by Lilly Collins, Gisele, Gwyneth Paltrow, Beyonce and Nina and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
Talking about Gwyneth’s hair Errol Douglas said, “Mrs. Martin does hot. Again! She always keeps the hair old school movie star sleek and simple, focusing on its condition and polished finish, so that the dress can make a statement. She’s rocking a a huge SS12 trend in the centre parting, starting low for a little more drama fitting with the occasion. I love the shorter dress length to the front and the embellished pocket detail here, it makes sense to keep the hair stylishly simple.”
Side partings and curls were still on trend at the ball as sported by Hilary Swank, Amy Adams and Emma Roberts
Another hair trend worn at the Ball was the softly tousled looked as see on Heidi Klum, Liv Tyler, Scarlet Johansson and Chloe Sevigny

Pink has finally returned to her trademark pink hair
Timed to coincide with launch of her sixth album, Pink debuted her rosy new look while on a family trip over the Easter weekend. The singer looked beautiful, in our first couple of pictures, in her spring colors, with baby Willow wrapped in a beach blanket striped like a colored Easter egg. Worn in a layered crop with sweeping fringe and accessorised with a floral headband, this sugary sweet look was the perfect choice for Easter and offers a softer alternative to some of Pink’s more vibrant shades in the past.

Anne Hathaway revealed her dramatic new pixie cut on a night out at The Box nightclub in London over the Easter weekend.
The actress has cropped off her long brunette lengths for her role as Fantine, a struggling factory worker, in the upcoming big-screen adaptation of Les Misérables.
The character is forced to sell her hair for money in the novel, and Anne appears to have embraced the storyline fully, rather than opting for a a wig or cap.
A new haircut isn’t the only change Anne has undertaken for the role – it was also revealed that she is only eating 500 calories per day in a bid to lose weight for her upcoming role as a poverty-stricken factory worker.

Cheryl Cole
She has gone from brunette and bouffant to blonde and sassy but whatever Cheryl Cole does with it, the nation’s women love her hair. The 28-year-old has been voted Britain’s hair icon for 2011 with thousands envious of her thick, full locks.
Jessie J
Best known for her poker straight, ink black bob with a perfect fringe slashed above the eyes , Jessie J brought precision cutting to the forefront of fashion this year with her must-have head-hugging cut in a pristine shade of purest black. This year also saw Jessie experiment with wigs and extensions, showing off a violet bob and silver dip-dye lengths as well as glamorous waves and curls.
Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge
The latest addition to the Royal Family has fast become a firm favourite with the press and public alike thanks to her chic outfits and fabulously blow-dried bouffant.
Making glossy, gorgeous, natural-looking luxury a trend in itself.
Rihanna
A constant style chameleon, Rihanna’s styles this year have ranged from bright red corkscrew curls to a demure blonde for her photoshoot for Vogue magazine
Katy Perry
She was announced as the face (and hair) of ghd in April 2011 and Katy Perry continued to keep everyone talking about her barnet throughout the year with colour changes a-go-go. When Katy Perry dyed her hair pink, it didn’t come as that much of a shock to fans as she has been known to change the colour of her locks quite often. From black and pink to blonde and blue, this year has seen Katy give her pin-up girl style a comic-book colourful twist.
Alexa Chung
Alexa always manages to style her pared-down bob in different ways to keep it looking fresh and new. Straight locks suit the cut of the bob giving a more boyish charm, while gentle waves help soften the style making it a more feminine and vintage look. Alexa has become known as Queen Bee of balyage.
”I just like her tossed off hair. It’s chopped, she lets her natural texture come out, she doesn’t look tortured with blow dryers or straightening irons or anything. She is sexy, obviously very sexy, but in a fresh and kind of tomboy-ish way.”
Lady Gaga
The queen of kook tamed things down a bit in 2011, switching her OTT multi-coloured wigs for high-octane glamour – albeit with a trademark Gaga twist.
Mint green bouffants, silver chignons and pastel pink ponytails all ensured the first lady of pop stayed firmly in the spotlight this year.

You can see Michelle’s new crop hair looks quite matte and natural, there isn’t much fuss. This is because there has been very little product applied when dry as a finisher.
How to achieve the crop hair look?
Use a leave in conditioner to soften the hair.
Work L’Oreal Natural Liss through the hair and begin drying on a medium heat.
Using a vent brush, brush the hair from side to side in opposite directions.
Follow the head shape to create a natural shape to the hair and remember to direct the hair downwards in the direction of the neck when at the back.
Use your fingers to twist the ends of the fringe so it kicks out a little.
When the hair gets almost dry, you will have a good idea of where the hair is parting but do not create a parting, the hair needs to naturally sweep over.
Use your fingers to move the hair into place.
To get the fringe to perfectly kick, rub your fingers together with ends in between.
Finish with L’Oreal Infinium hairspray or L’Oreal Fixing Mist
