Leighton Meester's Hairstyle

How to style your hair like Leighton Meester

Style chameleon Leighton Meester, the sweet-faced brunette who plays society swan Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl, is regarded as a modern day Holly Golightly. Known for sporting prepster headbands, loose waves and an ever-changing part, Meester (who's reportedly a natural blond) is undeniably one of the hottest, and most visible, young stars of the moment. Her long hair is sexy, but still youthful (think Upper East Side cool), marked by lots of shine, bounce and volume. Score Leighton Meester's hairstyle in a few simple steps or try it on in our virtual hairstyle studio.

Wash your hair with a smoothing shampoo and conditioner to tame frizz and ensure maximum shine (the smoother the hair, the shinier it appears to the naked eye because it reflects light).

To get this Leighton Meester's hairstyle in a pinch, wrap 2-inch sections of hair around a small barrel curling iron, or use small hot rollers, stopping a few inches short of the roots. Leave the rollers in for about 20 minutes to set the curl. Use a volumizing gel at the roots for lift and extra hold. Finish the Blair Waldorf-Leighton Meester look with a cute headband or barette. --Stephanie Simons
