Jennifer Lawrence is undoubtedly the coolest best friend a girl could ever ask for. And who can blame us for our totally OTT J-Law obsession? After all, she is one funny lady. Cue moments of bumbling about french fries in interviews, getting totally tongue-tied when faced with her idols and ripping her dress on the red carpet. Whatever clumsy, yet totally adorable, red-face-enduring calamities she delivers; we can all solemnly raise our hands and declare 'I'd probably do that too.'
Perhaps it's this down-to-earth air she possesses that makes her fashion and beauty looks easily obtainable for us everyday girls. Whether blonde or brunette, long or short, Jen always looks like that super pretty girl next door. Let's have a total fan girl moment and take a look at the evolution of this A-lister's locks and how we can re-create these looks for ourselves. Well if she can't be our BFF, at least we can have her hair...

2008
As a newbie to the industry, Jen opted for soft blonde curls that brought out her tanned complexion. A hairstyle that has long epitomized Hollywood Glamour, this look was sure to get this newcomer noticed!
To steal her all-American look, add some serious length to your hair with CC Hair Extensions in 18 inch strawberry blonde. Then take a wide barreled curling tong and gently curl your tresses and extensions away from your face. Spritz on a high shine spray and you're all ready to go!
2010
With an academy award nomination under her belt for her work in indie flick 'Winter's Bone', Jennifer had proved herself in the acting world as one to be watched. Donning a natural, golden hue in bohemian waves; Jen looked every bit the beach babe.
This seventies style is truly coveted right now, with designers such as Marchesa and Elie Saab presenting an ode to this retro look on their runways. If your not blessed with Jen's lovely lengths, try these golden blonde hair extensions that already come in stunning undone waves; no need for styling! Or go au-natural by spritzing sea salt spray on damp hair, braiding and leaving to dry.
2011
Va-va voom! With Miss Lawrence climbing up the movie charts in 'X Men: First Class', she seriously upped her hair game. Retro Hollywood glamour comes to mind on looking at these voluminous, Bridget Bardot-esque waves. And just how pretty is that glossy beige blonde tone?
Get the look by prepping your hair with some voluminizing mousse and blow drying upside down. Then simply add some clip in hair extensions and create soft waves with your hair straighteners. The key to this look is so only create the waves on the lengths of the hair, ensuring they are flicking away from the face.
2012
According to Cosmo Mag, Jennifer apparently tried on six brown wigs in order to determine Katniss's hair colour whilst filming 'The Hunger Games'. After the director chose the darkest shade, Jen then took a leap to the dark side and embraced her character full-throttle. Personally, I think this raveny brunette shade really compliments her skin tone and makes those blue eyes pop.
For this long, luxurious length, try these Clip in hair extensions. Part hair slightly to the side and use a serum to secure any fly-aways.
2013
After becoming synonymous with Katniss's long, brunette braid, Jen shocked the world when she cute it all off and sported this pixie cut in 2013. After this, everyone was craving a pixie. Note that she also went back to her previous beige blonde colour, which, in my opinion, softens such a short and quirky hair cut.
This J-Law look is only for the brave! If you are already sporting that cheeky pixie cut, add some volume and ruffle some styling mousse through your ends.
2014
Now this is how you grow out a Pixie in style! 2014 was officially the year of Jennifer Lawrence, with her rocking the big screen in 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1', 'Serena' and 'X Men: Day's Of Future Past'. This short, asymmetric style has 40s screen siren written all over it, with a side parting and soft Hollywood waves.
If you're growing out a short 'do, style your hair in a side parting and slick back one side; either by braiding, gel or bobby pins. Take the remaining side and tong with a wide barrel curling iron. Spritz with hairspray then separate with fingers. Alternatively, long-layered ladies can also rock this look! Simply secure the rest of your hair back in a low pony or chic bun and leave the shortest layers out on one side. Yep: faking short hair is really that easy!
2015
It seems she got fed up of waiting for her locks to grow out and opted for some extensions instead! I personally love this bombshell-ish blonde do. I'll let you in on a secret: J-Law actually cut her hair because it suffered from extreme staining when she dyed it for 'The Hunger Games'. These extensions show that this girl is truly a long-haired lady at heart.
You don't need to take out a loan to get lushious 100% human extensions like Jen's, CC Hair Extensions offer this wavy blonde hair weave for just $60! That's like, cheaper than a head of highlights!
