How to: Audrey Hepburn Hair

In Roman Holiday Audrey Hebpurn's princess Anne goes from having beautiful long regal locks to having her hair cut on a whim, resulting in the iconic pixie waves which liberated her for her jaunt through Rome.  To copy Audrey those with long hair can try wearing it loose and natural parted to the side wit the two front sections swept back either braided or simply pinned. 
The regal look is very slick, style hair as normal, pin back into a bun, smoothing hair down with serum or smoothing creams. Add abit of volume in the front with back combing and hair spray or ideally finish with a tiara. Instead of a bun go wild with different types of twisted knots and barrel curls pinning into place  and finishing with a little bit of hair spray.
For those with cropped hair, if you have natural waves allow to dry naturally or for those with poker straight hair twist sections of damp hair into small buns and pin, leaving out the fringe.
When dry use some serum or smoothing cream to tame, wearing the crown of the head somewhat flat with a nice wave in the rest of the hair and a straight fringe with a little volume curled in.
If you have long hair and you want to give the illusion of short pixie hair just pin underneath.
