We’ve got the scoop on Drew’s gorgeous new hue, Rihanna‘s most jaw-dropping looks (yes, mullet included) and the As Seen on TV tools that are actually worth buying Her Hairstylist HOLLI SMITH SAYS: “Drew’s style is polished, but it looks like her fingers have gone though it. I wanted something natural because that’s who Drew is. I applied a light serum and texturizing spray on her dry hair for a bit of hold. Then I added lift at the front with a vent brush, smoothed out her hair with a paddle brush and loosely curled it with an iron.” Wella Professionals Velvet Amplifier, $16; wella.com for salons Mason Pearson Boar Bristle & Nylon Hairbrush, $170; beauty.com Hot Tools 1¼-in.

She loves to accessorize with hats.” —Yusef MAY 16, 2013 “She wanted to go lighter, so I added platinum pieces. We keep her roots dark because it’s less taxing on the hair.” —Yusef JUNE 4, 2013 “Ri and I were watching The First Wives Club and loving Goldie Hawn’s hair. That was the inspiration.” —Yusef JULY 2, 2013 “The Chanel show was early, so we went with easy hair. I blew it out a little and flipped her bangs.” —Yusef JULY 11, 2013 “I had recently darkened her roots. I had a day off between shows, so she did this makeshift pony herself.” —Yusef JULY 22, 2013 “The gray idea came to me out of nowhere. Ri, Brad Baker (the colorist) and I named the hair ‘Brrr.'” —Yusef AUG. 12, 2013 “She wanted to try a short, curly do. Zac Posen’s hair was one of her inspiration photos.” —Ursula AUG. 25, 2013 “This was her MTV VMA look. She wanted to go back to a short do.

Ri likes to have fun.” LEATHER VISOR “Rihanna wears this Fleet Ilya visor a lot. The color works with a lot of pieces.” Seen on TV, Tried By Us! Ever wonder if those infomercial hair gadgets work? We tested a bunch, and here are the results PEOPLE.COM STYLE DIRECTOR ANDREA LAVINTHAL INSTYLER Why I Tried It: I have a weakness for hair tools with a power button. Level of Difficulty: It’s simple. The key is to work in small sections. In just one pass my fine hair went from curly to poker-straight. The Verdict: It’s a quick fix for flyaways and frizz, which is why I’m stashing it in my office drawer. InStyler, $99.99; instyler.com PEOPLE.COM SENIOR EDITOR ZOE RUDERMAN TURBIE TWIST Why I Tried It: I air-dry my hair a lot, but I can’t leave the house with a wet head now that it’s getting cooler out. Level of Difficulty: As easy as it gets. If you can wrap your hair in a towel, you can do this! The Verdict: Worth it, especially since it buys me a few extra minutes of sleep in the morning.

Level of Difficulty: It’s a breeze. I pin-curled sections of hair and clamped them in the heated shells. The Verdict: I had a head full of curls in less than 15 minutes, so it’s my new favorite tool.
