Celebrity Hairstyles have set the trend for millions of fashion conscious women around the world. And with good reason! If you're wondering what hairstyle is in fashion, then looking at the various celebrity hairstyles is a very cool place to begin.

But, there are some important mistakes to avoid before you copy those particular hairstyles:

Too High Maintenance

Do you have a team of haircare professionals on call to tidy up your hair at a moment's notice? If not, don't expect your hairstyle to remain looking fabulous all day. If you like the look of a particular celebrity hairstyle, ask your hairstylist how much work is involved in producing and maintaining the end result! It could be more than you've bargained for!

Then check with yourself if you have the time for the blow-drying, curling, straightening, sculpturing etc. For example, the Jennifer Aniston look requires two sets of conditioning to straighten the hair, then shaping gel and calming serum, finishing by using a flat iron. If you don't have time for this type of routine, go for something that looks great but doesn't need a lot of fuss and bother to get it looking good.

Wrong Style for Your Face Shape

Does your shape face suit the particular celebrity hairstyle you like? It may look absolutely great on Jennifer Lopez but it may do nothing enhancing for you. Check these celebrity face shapes and see how they compare with your own, to come up with a suitable hairstyle.

• Oval face: Jennifer Aniston and Julia Roberts have this face shape. You could wear you hair from short to long, which ever suits your life-style.
• Round face: Kate Winslet and Drew Barrymore have rounder shaped faces. A short hairstyle swept back from the face will give you more height and fullness.
• Rectangular/oblong face: Gwyneth Paltrow and Kirstie Alley shaped faces look better with short or medium hair, with bangs to soften the face. With this shaped face, it is recommended to avoid long hair.
• Square face: Demi Moore and Sandra Bullock are included in this group. Short and medium length hairstyles are best suited keeping away from long hair.
• Heart shaped face: Ashley Judd and Michelle Pfeiffer, with this shaped faces, look good with chin length or long hair. Stay away from short hair.
• Triangular face: Kathy Ireland has a more triangular shaped face. This shape suits hair worn either short or tied at the nape.
• Diamond face: Examples are Linda Evangelista and Katherine Hepburn. If you have this shaped face, you're one of the lucky ones that can wear any length of hair and look fabulous!

Avoid Trying to Make Your Hair Something it Just Isn't!

Is your hair type suited to the celebrity hairstyle that you'd like? Some styles are created by the use of a flat-iron to get the straight look. If you want a style that is dead straight and you have hair with a natural curl, this is going to take some time!

On the other hand, if you want the romantic, long tresses of curls and your hair hasn't a single wave to it, you're going to need a salon semi-perm or daily curling. Try to find a celebrity hairstyle that fits your hair type for ease of maintenance.
