It seems that now everyone wants to have a hairstyle that was first worn by a celebrity. Many hair salons are able to recreate the hairstyle of almost any famous celebrity. These celebrity hairstyles are cut and styled on regular people every day. However, many times a style will not look as good on a regular person. Sometimes the styles take a lot of work to maintain. Because of these issues that often occur, are celebrity hairstyles really worth the hype? Is it really better to have a celebrity hairstyle than a non-celebrity look?

The time factor

Celebrity hairstyles usually take a long time to style. First there is all of the hair preparation that is necessary such as daily washing, conditioning, drying, and product placement onto the hair. Then there is the actual styling that can take anywhere from 5-45 minutes to arrange. This is quite a large chunk of the morning. However, sometimes the effect that is achieved is worth the time. It is important that any celebrity style that is replicated, is a good match for your hair type and face shape.


The cost factor

Celebrity hairstyles also end up costing more money than other hairstyles. First, it often costs more to cut your hair into a style that matches a famous celebrity’s. Second, the products that are required to maintain the style are usually more expensive as well. Third, the cost of the tools to create the style at home can be expensive as well. Still, if a style looks really good on you then it is probably worth the extra expense.

The product factor

Celebrity hairstyles usually require more hair products than non-celebrity styles. This is because it can take a lot of altering to your hair to get it to look like a famous person’s hair. Also it can take a lot of product to get a style to stay in place all day. Celebrities can have their hair retouched every few hours to keep it looking fresh. This is not the case for a regular person wearing a celebrity hairstyle. This makes it necessary to apply enough products to keep the hairstyle in place all day. This can sometimes make hair sticky, limp, and dry.

The result factor

Celebrity hairstyles may cost more, take more time, and require more products, but this does not mean that they should never be attempted. If a style matches your hair type and face shape, and you love the way you look with that style, then there is no reason not to copy that celebrity hairstyle. As long as you feel good about your hair then everything else is justified.
