In the 70s there was the "Farrah" and in the 90's we had the “Rachel." But, what do women want now? The "Lively." Blake Lively is the 22-year-old actress who plays Serena van der Woodsen on the CW's “Gossip Girl.” If you've ever seen her beautiful blonde tresses on TV, you know her hair is ultra shiny and enviable. 

According to The New York Times,  a Google search of “Blake Lively Hair” produces 713,000 results, many of which are “how to’s.” 

So, how did she get the look? Aside from frequently applying a conditioning masque, her stylist creates the unraveling curls by letting her hair dry in a simple chignon. Ms. Lively, who said she doesn’t have extensions, says she has her blond hair touched up by her colorist, Rona O’Connor, every six months.

For those of us who weren't born with "good hair" (*plugs Chris Rock Film*), a great alternative would be to add removable extensions of human hair ($1,200 to $1,500 per piece). I've never tried hair clips, but Ken Paves has a great line as well (They look fab on Jessica Simpson!).
