I'd like to say April Clark is just another dark-haired celebrity, but she has that golden glow about her that lends mystery to her eyes.

She wears her black hair parted in an off-center style, possibly styled up in a chignon, bun, or even a twist in the beck, reminiscent of a Spanish dancer performing the Flamenco.

If this severe look appeals to you, it could be easy to try for yourself. Start with clean, dry hair and make an off-center part. Brush your hair tightly back and gather it into the center of the back, where it's most appealing to you.

When properly styled, nestled along the bottom of the neck can be quite elegant, so let's aim for that and create a figure-eight shape. Secure your hair with a hairband, then take a portion of the lower right hair and bring it over the hairband, twisting it about three times. Lay this hair over the upper left area, circling around to the bottom.

Next, take the lower left portion of the hair and repeat the twisting process on the right side of the head. Fasten with hairpins. Take the upper left portion and repeat the process, going below repetitively around to meet the other hair. Continue this procedure with the rest of the hair until you see the design of a figure eight.

Remember, the hair below goes up and across, while the hair above goes down and across. Have fun trying it out!
