Penelope Cruz made the most of her recent crop and wore her chic bob in soft waves and curls at the 2012 Academy Awards. To duplicate her 'do, begin with smooth hair. A good blow-dry with a large round brush will help create the requisite sleekness the style requires.

Next, you can use a large-barreled curling iron to add the curls and waves. The longer lengths should be all be curled under. Then, make a deep side part and create a few Marcel waves by clamping the curling iron down vertically while taking a hard rubber comb and laying the teeth directly on the scalp right under the iron. Keeping the comb's teeth in contact with the scalp, gently tug tresses away from the face to create a backwards 'c' formation.

The next step is to move the curling iron and comb down to where the 'c' ends. Repeat the process, only slide the comb forward to create a normal 'c'. Keep working your way down a three-inch swath of hair along the front hairline. Once you've waved the hair, lightly brush through with a natural bristle brush to soften. Sweep hair on the other side behind the ear and finish the style with a generous misting of hairspray.
