Fake It

The Scoop: It seems everyone in Hollywood from Kim Kardashian (pictured) and her sisters to Emma Roberts has long, thick flowing waves. Or, do they? Of course not, but they fake it pretty well with Great Length Hair Extensions, which are 100-percent human hair bonded to natural hair. "For stars that don't have Great Lengths, clips-ins are a must for photo shoots and red carpet events," exclaims Ted Gibson, celebrity hairstylist and hair expert on TLC's What Not To Wear. The to-die-for cover model hair can easily be achieved at home.

DIY: "It's all about color blending," says Gibson. "You can find great clip-in extensions that perfectly match your shade." Simply part your hair all the way around your head where it naturally recedes. Then, tease one-inch sections that align with the clips before securing for extra hold. Allow the top of your hair to fall over and style.
