Hji hearts . . . emma watson's waves

It must be hard to grow up in the spotlight but Harry Potter star Emma Watson has done it with style and grace.

The star has played Harry Potter heroine Hermione Granger since she was just 11 years old and we've seen her go from scruffy schoolgirl to sophisticated English rose over the past couple of years.

Her cut-glass accent is now matched by her gorgeously polished mane with a blonde hue that suits her delicate skin tone. She also looks fabulous in understated but chic outfits that look both dressy and demure.

Kerry Mather, owner KJM Salons is impressed by Emma's transformation. "Emma's been a fashion darling since turning 18. Her style is romantic and feminine which works - it doesn't alienate her young fans or jar with her former image while complimenting her delicate features and frame," she says.

Straight-A student Emma has proved that she isn't just a pretty face and plans to have a break from acting for a while to attend university in America. No doubt she'll impress her fellow students with her shiny locks as well as her intellect.

"Her hair is an extension of her romantic style - loose, unstructured and girlish but with a sophisticated colour and finish. The loose layers and shine suggest movement and youth and are perfect for her new grown-up look," says Kerry.
