Jan. 12 -- If the red carpet is any indication, the hottest hairstyles for spring will be pixie cuts, undone ponytails and the sexy blonde bombshell style made famous by French actress Brigitte Bardot.

Cameron Diaz has been spotted wearing the undone ponytail, Michelle Pfeiffer has tried the long, sexy Bardot look, and Kirsten Dunst has gone for the pixie cut.

Sally Hershberger, executive director for John Frieda Sheer Blonde, says that "sexy, slightly undone and very feminine' styles will be in this spring. Bangs will be worn longer and swept across the face as they grow out. Hershberger has made headlines lately as the highest-priced hairstylist in Hollywood. She charges $600 for a haircut.

To get the looks at home, here are Hershberger's tips on three styles, and the specific John Frieda products she recommends to achieve them:

The Ponytail

The smooth, super-shiny ponytail that graced the runways at spring fashion previews for the hottest designers will be in for spring, Hershberger said

To create the look:

1. Use Frizz-Ease Hair Serum ($9.99, johnfrieda.com) on soaking wet hair to help tame frizz and make hair silky. Separate hair into two-inch sections and use a large round brush to blow dry hair straight, working piece by piece. Once hair is straight, take a couple drops of Sheer Blonde Spotlight Sleek and Shine detangler ($5.50, johnfrieda.com) and smooth over hair for a sleek, glossy finish.

2. Next, decide if you want to part your hair in the middle, or on the side and pull hair back into a low ponytail, twisting hair into a bun at the nape of your neck. For a slightly more undone look, pull only part of the hair through your elastic, leaving it messy in back and sleek in front.
