Hairstyles in Cannes: Jessica Chastain

Jessica Chastain ("The Tree of Life") jumped a season ahead with her twirled hairdo. Gucci models demonstrated this hairstyle while showing the 2012 fall/winter collection during Fashion Week in Milan.

Styling: Work curling mousse through the towel-dry hair before creating a middle parting. Use your curling iron to produce soft waves in your hair. This is best achieved by holding a curling iron vertically and rolling your hair around the rod while holding the end of each strand. Don't use the rod cover to hold the rolled up hair in place. Simply hold the hair end with your fingers. Allow the heat to work for a few seconds before you remove the curling iron. Pull the wave down. Now create the twirled strands. On both sides of the middle parting, take one strand of hair over your forehead and twirl it a few times around its axis. Secure each one of the two twirled strands in the back of your head. Use hairspray to add gloss and hold

Hairstyles in Cannes: Virginie Ledoyen

Virginie Ledoyen ("Farewell, My Queen") swept her hair to one side.

Styling: Work styling mousse through your almost dry hair. Use a curling iron or rollers to create wavy hair if your hair is naturally straight. Then blow-dry your hair and allow it to cool. Take the rollers out of your hair and part it on one side. On the side with the parting, comb your hair smoothly to the scalp. A little gel or wax keeps fly-away hair in check. Pin the hair crosswise along the centre back from the top of your head to the nape of your neck. Allow the hair opposite the parting to fall over your shoulder

Hairstyles in Cannes: Sarah Gadon

In Cannes, Sarah Gadon ("Cosmopolis") wore a girl's crown braid all the way around her head.

Styling: Create a short side parting and separate a thin wide strand of hair next to it. Now start to French-braid your hair by working thin strands of hair into the braid. Always pull the new thin strand up. Keep braiding your hair with uniform tension. Braid from the side parting across the forehead and around to the neck, and then all the way around. Keep going until all hair is braided. Secure the end of the braid using a scrunchy before carefully hiding it underneath the braid.

There is a quick and simple alternative if you have problems with the crown braid. Simply gather your hair in a low ponytail and braid it. Then position the braid around your head leaving a little space between hairline and braid. Secure the braid with bobby pins

Hairstyles in Cannes: Paz Vega

Spanish actress Paz Vega ("Spanglish") gathered her long dark hair to a simple undone looking bun in her neck.

Styling: Create a side parting and loosely gather your hair in the neck. The tousled side hair is allowed to partly cover the ears. Twist the ponytail in your neck around its axis until it twists into a bun. Secure the bun using bobby pins and hairspray

Hairstyles in Cannes: Jessica Chastain again

Jessica Chastain showed us another romantic look. Her wavy hair is gathered in a loose, undone-looking bun in the neck.

Styling: Prepare your hair for styling by working some curling mousse through it. Then use a large-diameter curling iron or large curlers to create waves. Curl thin strands of hair for ample volume. Gather the wavy hair in a low ponytail. Separate out strands of the ponytail and fold them under before securing them around the ponytail base with hairpins or bobby pins. Start at the top and work your way around the base of the ponytail. Use some hairspray for more hold
