Get the Look: Brooke Charvet’s Bright Blowout

Monday night sealed the fate of Dancing with the Stars‘s final four, but we couldn’t take our eyes off of Brooke Charvet‘s sealed cuticles, perfectly smooth and glossy.

Just like last week, we asked the stylists at Hotheads how to achieve her look at home. Follow these steps from stylist Sheenon Olson:

1. Prep your hair with a relaxer such as Unite’s Lazer Straight. Then blow-dry your hair using a paddle brush or a jumbo round brush. Be sure to turn the ends under to keep the hair straight and prevent it from flipping out.

2. If your hair is curly or frizzy, spray Oribe Soft Lacquer hairspray on your sections and blow-dry from roots to ends to smooth the cuticle down. The Lacquer also has tremendous amounts of shine.

3. Finish the style off with additional Lacquer and touch it up a bit with a flat iron to really get polish and shine. (Extensions such as Hotheads will make your blowout last longer because they don’t absorb oils from your scalp and they enhance your natural color.)

Charvet parted her hair in the middle, but for this style you can part your hair on the side, as well.

Who says tattoos are forever? Megan Fox is having her iconic Marilyn Monroe tattoo removed from her inner right arm — and said it’s because she’s growing up.

“I’m just over it,” Fox told reporters after her performance in Montblanc’s 24-Hour Plays in New York on Monday. “You outgrow things that you love when you were a child. I got it when I was 18 and now I’m 25 and it just doesn’t make sense anymore.”

Why Nikki Reed Won’t Miss Her ‘Twilight’ Hair

Nikki Reed may be sad to put to rest her role as Rosalie Hale in the Twilight series, but the actress is more than happy to bid adieu to the vampire’s iconic blonde locks — and for good reason.

At the Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part I premiere in Los Angeles Monday night, the newlywed told PEOPLE she had to sport a blonde wig for New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn after dying her hair for the original Twilight film. “Most of my hair fell out, which is why they wigged me,” she explained. “It’s hard on the hair.

“I don’t miss being a blonde,” she continued. “I do miss Rosalie.”

Despite her bad experience with going blonde, Reed doesn’t discount the possibility of taking the plunge again in the future.

“Never say never — possibly for something else,” she said. “But it would have to be something I really love.” Tell us: Have you ever had a bad hair coloring experience?

The Scoop on Kelly Rowland’s Glow-in-the-Dark Video Makeup

Considering we didn’t know there was such thing as glow-in-the-dark makeup, we obviously had no idea how to apply it. But makeup artist Scott Barnes did so expertly in the video for Kelly Rowland’s new single, “Down for Whatever,” which features a scene shot using black lights.

“It’s fluorescent, it looks like paint,” Barnes tells PEOPLE of the Make Up For Ever Fluo Night Black Light Pigment. “Remember finger paint? That’s what it looks like.” But even the expert had a hard time at first. “Trying to apply it is not easy,” he warns. “I’d never done it before. If I were to do it again I’d use an airbrusher, to make it softer.”

Double Take: Dita Von Teese Wears the Same Dress Twice

Oh yes she did! The always pin-up-perfect Dita Von Teese dared to double dip her famous curves in the same Jean Paul Gaultier gown at two events just days apart. And the burlesque diva, who first donned the haute couture creation last Wednesday night to fête the designer himself at the opening of The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Art, doesn’t care.

“I don’t agree that you can only wear things once,” she told InStyle.com while working what she called her “favorite dress in the world” again over the weekend at the MoCA gala in Los Angeles. “I think when you have something you really love, there should be nothing that stops you from enjoying it.”

A fearless fashionista, Von Teese is also financially savvy. “When a dress costs as much as a Mercedes, you want to wear it more than once,” she joked. Makes (fashion) sense to us! Tell us: What are your rules on rewearing dresses?

Rachel Bilson, Jaime King Share Style Tips on ‘Hart of Dixie’ Set

The clothes on Hart of Dixie are pretty cute — and made cuter by the stars that wear them, namely Rachel Bilson and Jaime King. And since both ladies are so fashion forward, it’s not surprising to hear that much of their off-screen chatter has to do with style.

“We’re really close, so we’re always sharing [fashion] tips,” King told FabSugar of her relationship with Bilson at the MoCA gala in Los Angeles over the weekend. The actresses probably have a lot to say: King regularly calls on designer Jason Wu for fashion advice, while Bilson is a guest editor on Piperlime.com and is designing for the soon-to-launch ShoeMint.com.
