This weekend saw the annual British Soap Awards take place and all of the 5 biggest TV shows made it to the red carpet for the years biggest event. It was great to see so many bang on trend hairstyles that we couldn’t help but take a look through our favourites.

Georgia May Foote looked stunning in a floor length orange gown...her hair took inspiration from the 1950’s and Jessica Rabbit with stunning vintage inspired waves. The style adds tons of root lift with loads of large waves throughout the lengths and looks simply beautiful on her.

Sticking with the vintage styling was Hollyoaks Claire Cooper...she went for an elegant updo that had a distinctive 1960’s vibe. We love the softness of the style whilst still keeping this polished.

Braids are a huge summer trend and many of the younger soap stars rocked this look. Emmerdales Chelsea Halfpenny went for a large side braid whereas Holloaks Wallis Day chose another side braid but  this time opting for a really loose Fishtail braid. We love braids on the red carpet and think that the girls pulled the look of perfectly.

Our absolute favourite red carpet hairstyle of the night had to go to Coronation St’s Brooke Vincent! Her hair underrated and simple but looked amazing. Her hair had loads of volume and looked super sleek, straight but with movement. She finished the hair with a super deep parting and flicked all her hair to one side. Perfect!

Congratulations are in order for the lovely Marvin and Rochelle Humes. With the birth of their baby girl, Alaia-Mai this morning we thought we should take a look back at our favourite Rochelle Humes hairstyles. As a member of one of the biggest British Girl bands The Saturdays, Rochelle has tried out so many hairstyles!

Bandmate Una gave birth to a little girl last year...Rochelle and Marvin have kept the trend going today so all eyes will be moving to Frankie, who announced her pregnancy last month to see if she can keep the baby girls coming!

We love Rochelle’s long bob hairstyle but we also love her toffee shade long longs too!

We are huge fans of fuss free hairstyles and this season there are loads of gorgeous styles that will literally take you minutes to do! The ponytail made a comeback as a hairstyle trend, and not just how you wore your hair between washes, last summer but this French Twist Low Ponytail is such a cute and perfect summer version of a super easy hair style!

Step One

Start by pulling all your hair back and holding where you want the ponytail to start. For thsi style you better off going for a mid height or high pony.

Step Two

Now you want to simply twist your hair. You want to do this quite tightly at this stage as it will loosen a little later.

Step 3

Now still holding the end of your pony with one hand you want to use the other hand to lie your ponytail to your head. No to make this like a french twist you need to smooth this into your head...the best method I have found is to use the palm of your hand! Place your hand slightly to the side of your rolled hair and pull the side hair over your roll of hair. You will have needed your hair to have loosened a little when positioning it for this to work best. You can do this straight or angle to the side...whatever your fancying on the day.

Step Four

Now you have your french twist in place you need to pin the rolled hair to your head. Finish with a stritz of hairspray :)

See how easy this style is!...and a side twisted version has even been worn on the red carpet by Jennifer Lawrence!  This is the perfect summer hairstyle.

Will you be trying this out? We’d love to know what you think of the style?

There were some stunning celebrity hairstyles at this years TV Bafta Awards which took place over the weekend. We couldn’t help but pick out our favs!

New Dr Who girl, Jenna Louise Coleman, looked beautiful in a floor length nude gown. Her makeup was given a vintage twist with huge cats eye flicks with eyeliner and her hair was kept simple. The lengths of her hair were given subtle waves and the front sections pulled back from her face...simple but she looked gorgeous.

Another star going for a simple but effective hairstyle was Sienna Miller. Sienna’s hair was twisted into a simple top knot but as she wore quite a high necked and very patterned dress the simplicity of the hairstyle was the perfect contrast!

Holly Willoughby made a change from her normal red carpet down do’s to rock a loose up do. Holly’s hair was pinned up leaving quite big sections of hair, that had been curled through the lengths, loose to really frame her face. The style looked really cute but we much prefer Holly’s hair worn down and voluminous!

And the surprise of the night was the Made in Chelsea girls! We all know that they scrub up well but we are loving Bunky’s uber long locks that looked glossy and perfectly styled. Louises ombre tresses were swept to one side from a really deep parting. Millie went for a simple look...her hair was super straight and she pinned back the top section of hair, keeping her centre parting for a very sleek style. Lucy chose to stand out from the rest of the girls by choosing a curly updo very similar to Holly Willoughby!

We just can’t keep up with Rihanna’s hair at the moment! We were loving the stars long ombre locks so we were in shock to see RiRi out for the night in New York with a super blonde bob!

We knew that there was an ulterior motive with this look and we were pretty sure that this was a wig! And right we were!

Rihanna herself added a pic to her instagram feed just a few hours later saying ‘I woke up in a new....weave!’. The pic showed Rihannas hair style into voluminous waves and covering her face...the shade is a much lighter shade than her ombre locks. After this debut of the shade Rihanna, who is on her Diamonds world tour was seen out with a friend and the shade of her hair was properly revealed.

As much as we like Rihanna with dark locks we have to admit that the honey toned shade looks stunning on her skin tone : )

Little Mix may not have been around very long but already Perrie Edward’s hair has been through a rainbow of shades! Starting off as as sandy toned blonde, the star has gone grey, lilac and pink as the trends for vibrant and pastel shades have become more and more popular! Pastel shades were a huge trend prediction for 2013 so Perrie Edward' hair is helping to keep the Little Mix girls style bang on trend!

We are huge fans of the pastel and candy shades for hair...although these can be high maintenance and require lots of TLC they look amazing! We’re almost positive that Perrie has some help with clip in hair extensions as the amount of bleach she would need would leave her locks quite damaged and it always looks thick and healthy!

The French Pleat or Twist as its now more commonly know is a traditional updo that really has stood the test of time. This is a classic updo that can be dressed up or down, given a modern twist by adding a quiff or bouffant and it always looks stunning. This is still a celeb favourite and can often be seen on catwalks and at red carpet events. We love this style because its so easy to create and adding in your clip in hair extensions will really bulk the style out and give it a fabulous shape.

Step One

Pull all your hair to one side. Running from the nape of your neck upwards create a criss cross pattern with bobby pins. This should hold the one side of your hair flat to your head and this will be the base for your twist!

Step Two

Gently hold all your hair and brush this through to smooth out the hair. You now want to start creating your roll. It can be handy if you have some sectioning clips to put these on the ends of your hair to keep the, together. You can use your hand to wrap this around but be sure to pull the ends upwards through the roll!

Step Three

Keep rolling your hair until this is flat against your head and covering the row of bobby pins you secured your hair with earlier. Use bobby pins to secure the rolled hair to your head...you may need quite a lot of these if you have a lot of hair or you have used your extensions.

Step Four

If you have used clips on the ends of your hair you should be able to remove these easily now. For the classic look you want to shape the ends of your hair to give it a round cone like shape. If you are going for a more modern look you can leave the ends tucked away.

There are very few products that celebrities are yet to put their name to but we have a new addition! Whitney Port has been announced as the new face...or should that be legs, for razor brand Venus but how stunning does her hair look in these sneak preview promo shots.

The first promo shows Whitney Port’s hair with very subtle beach waves...a style that is a go to look for the LA born star. Her uber long, sun kissed blonde locks are styled with a centre parting which creates gorgeous face framing sections.

The next promo shot is a very different feel to the first. In an evening scenario Whitney Ports hair has been styled into gorgeous vintage inspired waves. Her hair has been given a deep side parting and given lots of volume at the roots. This creates such a beautiful shape to the hair that it makes her look every inch a Hollywood star!
