Hugh Jackman

REEL For Jackman’s rugged X-Men Origins: Wolverine style, work Graham Webb Classic Brit Styling Paste into damp hair from roots to ends, says Nick Arrojo of Arrojo Studio in New York City. Follow with a light spritz of Farouk Systems Chi Shine Infusion Spray for burnish and gloss, then blow-dry hair up and away from the scalp, pulling it as high as possible. Keep this edgy, bad-boy look in place with a mist of hair spray.

REAL Jackman’s casual but polished off-screen look is easy. Work in a soft-hold hair product, like American Crew Light Hold Texture Cream. Part hair on the side, then use your fingers to rake it back.

Ewan McGregor

REEL McGregor’s Angels & Demons look is traditional with a capital T. To recreate it, says Carlton Hair President James O’Regan, apply a strong-hold product, like Regis DESIGNLINE Pomade. Comb hair into place and let it air-dry. Finally, mist palms with Matrix Biolage Finishing Spritz, then run them over your hair.

REAL Get this fuss-free ‘do by working a lighthold styling cream, like Sebastian Potion 9 Light, into damp hair. Then mess up each piece.

Johnny Depp

REEL Skip your morning shampoo to get the suave, retro hair Depp wears in Public Enemies. Why? Hair that’s one-day “dirty” has the natural oils that are key to this look, says Regis Senior Artistic Director Mary Gail Hall. Then part hair down the center and apply Sexy Hair Concepts Quick Change Balm just to the ends.

REAL To get Depp’s tousled off-screen style, wash hair, towel dry and work in a dime-sized bit of TIGI Bed Head Manipulator, or a similar product, from scalp to ends. Let hair dry naturally.
