Common questions

Which pop star should I pick?

Whoever's outfit you can build from your closet, the hair and the attitude matter more than the exact outfit. Commit to one era, not a mashup.

How do you get big pop-star hair?

Backcomb the crown, spray it, and let the ends stay smooth. Volume on top, smooth below, that is the silhouette.
