The Queen B's long layered haircut works well with most face shapes says hairstylist Kelly Sayers of Marie Robinson Salon. "Style with a curling iron to create a tousled, natural-wave look and use a texture spray to make the waves last." She adds that this look works best with hair that's medium to coarse and already has some natural waves.

Blake is aglow with her beach-y, soft waves. Lots of shine is your key to combatting any dullness you may have, which can happen with very long hair, so use light reflecting products to enhance light, says Tasha Brown. For those with light colored hair like Blake, try shimmer shine spray, and if you have dark hair, try a spray in gold, she says.

Always sophisticated, Amal goes for retro glam with her side swept curls. Sayers recommends using a roller set to create this look.

Here's a classic, but modernized one-length cut. "The severe middle part works well with an oval face shape," says Sayers. "And an oil serum would be a great product to add shine and sleekness to the style." Use a flat iron if needed to achieve the slickest, straight hair.

Kim loves to rock the trendy center part. For amazing shine to emphasize any long hairstyle, finish your look with a weightless shine spray, says Tasha Brown. "It comes out even finer than a typical mist pump. It's almost aerosol so it goes on really light and won't weigh hair down."

Chrissy shows off lots of volume with her long, cascading waves. And her long bangs give her options. "Side swept bangs help a long haircut to have interest especially if you are always pulling it up," says Sayers.

Gisele's cut layers are designed to enhance her hair's natural texture, says Sayers. To get her look use curl enhancing cream or a surf spray to create.

Angelina's finer textured hair flows freely in long, silky layers. For adding volume Brown recommends using amplifying mousse to give thin locks lots of body and hold.

Lucy sports an easy-going cut with long layers. It works with coarse textured hair and any face shape says Sayers. "You can blow it out with a round brush to give it movement," she adds.

America's girl-next-door looks ever sweet with her center part, and hair pinned casually to the side. To keep loose, long waves looking piece-y like Sandy's, Sayers recommends using wave hair spray.

Padma's layers are cut to frame her face, with ones that specifically open up starting at the cheekbone, says Sayers. This type of graduated layer cut works well for any face shape, she says.

Alia Bhatt looks amazing with her multi-dimensional layers. To get Alia's flowing locks, you want to "have long layers with a weightless line so your hair moves freely," says Kevin Mancuso, hairstylist and global stylist for Nexxus.

Sonam opts for a sleek and minimalist look. If you want to pump up the volume and movement for this style, start by using a round brush to blow your hair out straight. Then use large velcro rollers to cool your hair. After removing the rollers, brush through and finish with a comb and hair mist.

Jacqueline's straight across fringe is super fresh against her long hairstyle. Sayers says straight across bangs will work with most faces.
