I got the following email recently and thought it would make a great article:

“I am starting college next January and I want to do a Lauren Conrad hairstyle. What are some of her hairstyles so I can get this look?” – Sandra

I like Lauren Conrad‘s many hairstyles on The Hills, and have wanted to write about them for a while, so here goes. What’s great about Lauren’s look is that it’s always changing – it seems like LC does her hair differently in every episode, so there are many ways to get that Lauren Conrad hair for yourself.

Things To Consider When Styling Your Hair

Before we get into the tutorials, let’s go over a few basics that you need to remember when you’re working with heat and your hair and attempting these styles. If you’re already a hair pro, feel free to skip this section.

• Really Important: ANY and EVERY time you heat-style your hair, be it with a blow dryer, curling iron or flat iron, you need to use a heat protective product first! If you don’t, you’ll fry your hair in the long-term. This is doubly true if you have highlights or use permanent dye. My favorite heat-styling product is Frederic Fekkai Glossing Cream but I have also heard good things about Oscar Blandi Jasmine Oil Serum.
• Second, make sure you buy quality tools to use in your hair. Since a flat iron touches your hair on both sides, there is so much potential for split ends & breakage it’s not even funny. If you invest in a ceramic flat iron like the CHI Turbo Flat Iron or ghd styler you will save your hair from so much damage Similarly, a good quality curling iron will do wonders.
• Third, remember that these tutorials are for styles that are easiest to do if you have medium-length straight/wavy hair like Lauren’s. Those of you with curly hair will need to blow-dry your hair straight before attempting these looks, so they might not be so practical for every day.

Now that you’ve got all that, on to the tutorials…
