Celebrating the sex and the city 2 girls' hair

As Sex and the City 2 hits the big screens, we ask hairdressers to put the leading ladies' locks under the microscope.

Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker)

"Unlike her wardrobe, Carrie plays it safe when it comes to her hair. She appreciates that clean colour and a good cut is the perfect style accessory.

Long layers allow Carrie's signature curls to move freely, and whether it is dried straight or curly it always complements her overall look.

When Carrie does experiment with her hair, she usually opts for a traditional bun."

Charlotte (Kristin Davis)

Charlotte's swapped her pristine sleek blow-dry for a more relaxed, loose curl.

Hair plays an important role in defining the pinnacle moments of a girl's life and here Charlotte looks happy and carefree.

Life is good to her, and as a result her brunette tresses reflect her attitude by looking glossy, radiant and youthful."

Samantha (Kim Cattrall)

"Samantha's new mid-length style definitely suits her and her character.

This layered look has the flexibility to go from a fun and tousled look for a gal-about-town style to chic and sleek business woman using just a few styling techniques.

This works as she can fully evoke either side of her personality, and Samantha is still one the most glamorous women on our screens."

Karine Jackson, Covent Garden, London

Miranda (Cynthia Nixon)

"In the first series, Miranda's style was short and sleek with a bold auburn hue that mirrored her strong character but as she's became more feminine, her tresses followed with a softer and more tousled style.

Now, we can see the old Miranda coming back with a vengeance with her infamous stronger, dominatrix style cut and Florence-esque colour - I love it!"
