Sleek Ponytail: At the recent Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards, Jamie Lynn was spotted wearing a sleek ponytail, styled behind her ears. The dark highlights in her Blondie hair helped to accent the shape of her face, and the ponytail gave this semi formal hairstyle an air of playful sophistication. To get this look, wash and towel dry your hair, and when it is still damp, divide it into two sections, gathering all of the hair from the nape of the neck, and lift both behind the ears, smoothing on a light holding product as you do so. Make your first ponytail with a plain band, and the second with a cute accessory. Make sure to apply a firm hold hair spray to your style, and finish with a light spritz of a leave in pomade for a glossy shine.

Classic Blondie: Jamie Lynn almost always wears her hair straight and sleek once again in perfect keeping with the predicted 2008 hairstyle trends. To get this look, whether you have light or dark hair, be sure to straighten your own locks, and flip them out slightly at the ends to achieve Jamies favorite style. In terms of darker highlights, ask your stylist about the specific shade that will work best for you, and remember the important thing is to go dark in 08, but not so dark that it looks unnatural.
