Hollywood stars seem to have it all — fun jobs, great wardrobes and, of course, fabulous hair. Whether it’s a fancy updo at a gala or something quick and simple to sport around town, their looks always seem effortlessly glamorous. But when it comes time for the rest of us to try and recreate those ‘dos at home, let’s just say it isn’t always such a piece of cake. Luckily, we don’t have to give in to basic buns and ponytails — YouTube can help! We’ve taken the work out of sorting and searching and found the best YouTube channels to follow for fabulous hair tips, tutorials and styles.
