Jake Gyllenhall

REEL If you think long, flowing hair is for ladies, see Gyllenhaal as Prince Dastan in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, in theaters May 28. To get his rugged, tousled style, work Sebastian Microweb Fiber Texturizer through damp hair, let hair air-dry, and then use a drop more of the texturizer to define a few pieces.

REAL Gyllenhaal’s buzzworthy longer buzz cut is a low-maintenance style that looks best on a full head of hair. Smooth Regis DESIGNLINE Olive Oil Leave-In Conditioner on damp hair, then blow-dry using a paddle brush to coax hair in one direction.

Liam Neeson

REEL Neeson plays Col. John “Hannibal” Smith in The A-Team, out June 11. Get his tough-guy do by combing Paul Mitchell Soft Sculpting Spray Gel through damp hair. (Use a wide-tooth, not fine-tooth, comb so you don’t get “stripes.”) Let hair air-dry.

REAL This full style helps hide thinning hair. Work a blob of Biolage Volumizing Whipped Mousse through hair, then blow-dry while brushing up-not back-with a round, boar-bristle brush. Set with a misting of soft-hold hairspray.

Ashton Kutcher

REEL As Spencer Aimes in Killers, out June 4, Kutcher sports a style perfect for dudes who don’t want to look like they try too hard. Get a trim with scissors instead of clippers, wash with American Crew Daily Moisturizing Shampoo and go.

REAL Kutcher’s softly sculpted style is simple to achieve: Just rake a dab of American Crew Defining Paste through damp hair and air-dry. If your do falls flat by midday, run damp hands through hair to refresh it.

Chris Noth

REEL Even after Carrie runs her fingers through it, Mr. Big’s hair still looks perfectly debonair in Sex and the City 2, in theaters May 28. To re-create his dashing do, keep the top longer and the sides shorter. Work a dab of Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Shaping Cream through hair for hold and a matte, “dry” look.

REAL Noth’s own style is slicker and spikier than his character’s. To re-create it, spritz Schwarzkopf OSIS Air Pomade Wax on damp hair, work in, and let hair dry naturally.
