Madonna and co wear their curls with a centre parting, but if you want a softer look make like Salma and part your hair to the side. -

If you want tighter curls or flicks like Madge’s, use a ghd styler, £119, to curl pieces of your hair - this takes practice, so ask your hairdresser to give you a masterclass next time you visit.

Always use a heat protector and a little serum before you curl the hair to keep it glossy like Angelina’s. If you style your hair often, use a repairing masque once a week such as Kerstase’s Age Recharge Masque, £24, which helps to restore hair back to its former glory.

Jen has avoided curling the root area for a more relaxed look. For perfect big curls we love Revlon's Big Curls Ceramic Tongs, £15, which give you more control than rollers.

For fine hair, curl it last minute and keep a mini hair spray in your clutch to refresh the bounce during the evening, before you leave Elnett's Flexible Hold Hairspray, £2.86, works a treat. We love Jessica’s fringe which softens the look and brings it bang up-to-date. -

The key to getting this look right is to not be a perfectionist! If your hair curls easily and holds its style for hours then tong hair early and let it relax a little before you leave the house.
Big barrel curls add glamour to any outfit and have always been a Hollywood favourite for exactly that reason. Channel this look when you need to make an entrance and take tips from the star pictures below for tips on how to get the look.
