Ever since Kelly Clarkson hit the scene on American Idol, we've been following her hairstyles.

Lately Christina Aguilera has been flat-ironing her hair so straight we half-way suspect it might be a wig. Sure, she can pull off pretty much any look, but our favorite is still the big, tumbling waves that, along with red-red lips, were the signature look for her retro period.

We all know and wonder about love Pete Wentz and his strangely flat ironed hair. Well, did you know there's actually a phrase to describe that style? Pete describes his 'do as "Lego hair."

The hottest hair accessory these days, and we mean that literally and figuratively, is the mini flat iron.

We tried out the BaByliss Pro Nano Titanium Mini-flat iron, and it's popular for a reason. At just six inches long and 1/2" wide, it's much easier to use for bangs or quick touch ups than your regular-sized flat iron.

It also can travel really easily, not that we recommend dragging a flat iron out on a date, but if you're going somewhere after work and want to smooth out the end of day frizzies in the ladies room, this is the way to go.

Whenever we see elaborately casual updos on models, like at the Venexiana by Katie Stern 2009 runway show, we imagine an army of tiny fingered elves working for hours to achieve that perfect combination of texture and twist. And then we wistfully sigh and imagine how cool it would be to have our own hair elves.

The reality is much more simple, and in a way, more exciting because you can (sort of) get it at home. All it takes is a good flat iron, and some fake hair. Oh, also it helps to have the mad skills of the stylist team of Karmela Lozina and Jutta Weiss from the famous Sahag Workshop.

Lozina and Weiss used the Linea-Pro Titanium flat iron to make the models' hair smooth and shiny, and then added detail with the so-covetable new Linea-Pro Mini Iron -- it's tiny, but still has the famous titanium plates -- to create the appearance of casual texture around fake-hair braids.

In the gallery, get the scoop on how the masters of style used these tools to create fairy-tale hairstyles, no elves necessary.

This is the second installment of celebrity favorites -- the products that they actually use on a daily basis, not the one's they plug because they're paid.

Here are favorite celebrity hair care products that keep their flowing manes shiny and luscious.
