Some might call it boring, but we reckon a full head of long, long hair is still one the most feminine and beautiful cuts around. But lengthy locks don't just have to mean hippy style - from rock chic to red carpet glamour, let these celebrity icons show you the Rapunzel ropes.

Kim Kardashian’s hair is so long we dread to think how long it takes her to brush it. Although we’re sure she has a team of people for that sort of thing.

The name on everyone's lips, Megan Fox, shows off the lengthy, glossy, raven's wing tresses that helped her wing her way into every man's heart (and onto every man's screen saver!)

Stunning Mamma Mia starlet, Amanda Seyfried showed off a seriously enviable mane at this year's Glamour Awards - does hair come any more perfect?
Cheryl Cole’s layered lengths have been one of the most requested haircuts around the country since her job on the X Factor took her into 12 million homes every Saturday night. The face-shaping cut is perfect for adding a bit of interest to long hair.
Remember that dodgy blonde bob from a few years back? Unless you’ve blocked it from memory, you’ll know that Angelina Jolie looks ten times more gorgeous with her trademark jet black curls.
Get your hands on some big heated rollers to achieve relaxed curls á la Demi Moore, and finish with some shine spray for A-list glitz.

Jessica Alba always looks annoyingly gorgeous – and we reckon the key might by in her flowing mane. Always boasting a high-shine, Jess has a side-swept fringe cut in to soften the style.
Could Jennifer Aniston be the owner of some of the most famous hair in the world, ever? She’s come a long way from ‘The Rachel’ though, and now keeps her cut soft and uncomplicated with honey-coloured highlights.
Kate Beckinsale has the yummy mummy tag all wrapped up with her glistening barnet. For a cut like hers, ask for graduated layers through the bottom sections of the hair.
She’s the ultimate rock’n’roll daughter, so it’s no surprise Daisy Lowe works the ultimate rock’n’roll haircut, too. Plump for a choppy, heavy fringe and loose waves to get Daisy’s kind of street cred.

Supermodel Elle Macpherson lets her highlights do the talking with this super-glossy mane. The different shades and the tonged curls add texture and a bit of individuality to a standard centre-parting.
She might be a supermodel, but Gisele Bündchen isn’t just a pretty face – she knows that keeping hair simple and shiny is key to looking understatedly sexy. Flick your style to the side for an instant update.
Straight and sleek, Nicole Kidman keeps her curly-haired secret well with some serious Hollywood grooming. A pair of good straighteners and a drop of serum are all you need to create this look at home.
With her springy curls Lindsay Lohan takes us back to the decade that style forgot. Pair this ‘do with body-con and a perma-tan for a true ‘80s revival – even if it’s only for a fancy dress party.

Lizzie Jagger’s dramatic waves might not exactly cut it in the office, but take them to a dancefloor and it’s a different story. Leave the crown of the hair flat and start the curls by your cheekbones for a modern twist on this traditional style.
Letting her hippy side shine through, Mischa Barton keeps her thick, bedhead waves in check with an on-trend headband.
Rachel Bilson lets it lie long and loose for a ‘do that works perfectly with her unfussy LA glam.
So the Carrie curls are gone (for now), but we’re still loving Sarah Jessica Parker’s glossy lengths. She’s kept the centre-parting but opted for a more tousled look with a few scattered layers to give shape and volume.
