Get Hot Hair for the Holidays

From Cameron Diaz's change from blonde to brunette to Jennifer Aniston's smoking locks and Jessica Alba's Oscar worth up-do, Hollywood's hottest hairdresser Shann Beeman is showing you how to create serious star style for the holidays.
Shann is demonstrating his skills on Gina, who went from cute to captivating with his magical hands.
Even though rollers and backcombing is involved, Shann told “Extra” that the new up-dos should not look done.
“It's just very pieced up, we've just kind of tucked hair in there,” he demonstrated. “Which is kind of more about today's trend in today's up-dos I think.”
If that look isn't for you, Shann has many more suggestions, like the long, layered shag (a la Jennifer Aniston) that he gave model Natalie.
Shann used a clip-on extension on Natalie's short locks for a look he calls his favorite.
“We're just going to place the track on the hair and snap those clips down,” he showed us. “And now we're just going to put that hair back on top of it. And viola: a striking, stunning hairdo that literally took seconds to prepare.”
Shann's final look involved embracing your dark side.
“Brunette is the way to go,” Shann explained. “It's hot, it's trendy.”
After a rich brunette color settled in, highlights were applied, and the final product proved blondes don't always have more fun!
“Very much party hair,” Shann exclaimed. “Ready for the party.”
