CELEBRITY DON'T
Don't try to pull off hair accessories the size of your head. Paris Hilton's Christmas wreath is a big don't, no matter what time of year.

Do add some flavor with a whimsical accessory pinned right over your part--but keep it small and subtle. To get this look, use a straightening iron to get hair to lie flat against your head. Make a deep side part and pull hair back into a low ponytail at the nape of the neck. Fasten in a loop so the ends stick out and mist the entire style with shine spray. MARIE CLAIRE RECOMMENDS: FLAT IRON like Hot Tools Flat Iron, $39.99.

Don't go too dark. We usually love Cameron's casual blonde bob, but her light skin and blue eyes look washed out with this too-harsh dark dye.

Do find a darker hue that flatters. If you have lighter features and want to go darker, go for a medium or dark brown instead of black. To get this style, roughly dry hair on a medium heat without applying any product beforehand. After hair is dry, add a dry spray wax and work through hair until you get that perfect unwashed look. MARIE CLAIRE RECOMMENDS: DRY SPRAY WAX like Short Sexy Hair Play Dirty Dry Wax, $18.95.

Don't let short hair hang lifelessly. A short cut can be sexy, but without proper styling and products, straight hair cropped short like Renee Zelwegger's won't do anything for you.
Ben Goldstein
Do pump up the volume. Start with a volumizing shampoo to get some life in your locks. Run a mousse through your roots and blow-dry while running your fingers through your hair. Use a nozzle attachment to focus air right at the roots for extra lift. MARIE CLAIRE RECOMMENDS: VOLUMIZING SHAMPOO like Pureology Volume Shampoo, $26.
