Do you own a ceramic flat iron? Then you can have Nicole Richie's hair!

I know Nicole Richie hasn’t always been the, ahem, pinnacle of class, but she’s really come a long way since her days as Paris Hilton’s BFF on The Simple Life! You can literally see the transformation just by glancing at her. When she first came onto the scene, she had worn-out, ratty-looking extensions, but now she’s all grown-up - and her hair looks amazing. This pretty modern bob is my favorite hairstyle ever, and since my hair is around this length, I was really excited to learn that the key to creating the look is already in my beauty arsenal. I’m talking about ceramic flat irons! Here’s how to get Nicole’s lovely look in just 3 easy steps:

  1. Start with dry hair. Apply a heat protective serum.
  2. Take your ceramic flat iron - one with 1″ plates should work fine (like these CHI flat irons - and iron your hair in small sections, until all sections have been straightened.
  3. Finish with a shine serum, and make sure to sweep your bangs to one side (if you have them).

It’s that easy! Why do you think Nicole looks so self-satisfied in that picture? I think it’s because she can’t believe that a style so easy can look so luxe! Try it out if you have a bob - you won’t believe how much better it’ll look, with practically zero effort on your part. You’re welcome!
