Rihanna (@rihanna)  - TWEET: "'Miss+Love u 2" Rumors of a Chris Brown/Rihanna reunion started to fly this week after Rihanna tweeted a seemingly cryptic tweet to Chris's mom, possibly in response to a tweet Momma Breezy sent earlier that day, "HELLO LADY I MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU!!!!!

Rihanna\r - How adorable is this darling, side-swept mane? Rihanna’s multi-hued curls can be achieved with a big barrel curling iron and several long bobby pins to hold tresses in place. Curl tightly and brush curls for a soft, wavy effect. Use a small amount of hairspray to mold and finish.\r\r(Photo: Neil Mockford/Getty Images)

Melanie Fiona\r\r - This is a great way to incorporate a fun accessory. Gently finger-comb back soft tendrils and pin in a tousled bun. Leave a few pieces out in the front and wrap your tie across your forehead and back toward the bun. You can substitute the braid for another thin headband.\r\r(Photo: Gregg DeGuire/PictureGroup)

Taraji P. Henson - If you’re rocking a sassy, short bob, just a little more volume and several waves will take your style to the next level. Use a flatiron to curl freely, and then feather your layers using your fingers or a few strokes of a wide-tooth comb.(Photo: Jemal Countess/Getty Images)

Tracee Ellis Ross - Updos are simply fantastic for naturalistas. Like Tracee, pin up one side, along with the curls in the back, and you’ve just created a whole new style. Don’t be afraid to let a few curls fall.(Photo: PNP/WENN.com)

Keri Hilson\r\r - We love Keri Hilson’s wavy ‘do. Use a medium-sized barrel curling iron and curl tightly in large sections. Use a brush to even out the front, but not too much. You want your curls to have a slight "bed head" appeal. \r\r(Photo: Jason Merritt/Getty Images)

Tyra Banks - Not all celebs are just about fame and beauty. For some stars, their brains are their best assets. Our list of celebs who went to Ivy League schools starts with Tyra Banks.
