NEW AROUND THESE PARTS

CC is loving the hippie-chic vibe of the center part. So what if you've go a half-inch of regrowth? The new beauty wisdom says root regrown is not a hair-raising faux-pas, but rather a sign that you are a happenin' gal with more important things to worry about than her highlights!

Blonde: a center part that says 70s sass!

Brunette: the slightly off-center part is tres sexy!

Guess the padded bobby pin was essential in getting that beachy-wave look!

HOW-TO Spray leave-in conditioner on wet hair, apply mousse to roots and then air-dry. Curl two-inch sections of hair. Finish with shine spray.

THE LOOK Straight shoulder-length hair
HOW-TO Apply a de-frizzing product to wet hair and then blow-dry, says stylist Laurent D. "When hair is dry, use a ceramic flat iron to smooth ends... and finish with a shine serum."
INSIDER TRICK This look is ideal for naturally straight hair.
BUY ONLINE Flat Iron, David Babaii for Wild Aid, $120.
Taylor Momsen
THE LOOK Soft back-curled waves
HOW-TO Edward Tricomi of Warren-Tricomi salons suggests the following steps to achieve this look: spray a volumizing spray or finger mousse through damp hair to create volume and give hold to the hair. Then use a round metal brush and blow-dry the hair, pulling the brush away from the face, towards the back. Once dry, take pieces that frame the face and curl with an iron, turning the barrel away from the face. Brush out with the finger and add a flexible-hold hairspray.
INSIDER TRICK "Day-old hair will look best with this style," says Tricomi.
