Katie Holmes, my personal hair hero

We don't know what they put in the water over at Chez Cruise – it wouldn't surprise us if Tom was adding in something -- but Katie "Call me Kate" Holmes has been looking pretty great lately (er, if somewhat devoid of personality). We instantly loved these shots from the January InStyle, via the incredibly enjoyable A Serious Job is No Excuse.

We also seriously love Katie's hair. We have a somewhat similar haircut, and we're wondering how we might get that voluminous, slightly flyaway curl thing. Do we have to invest in a curling iron? And, um, is that way too '80s to even consider, or do regular people still use curling irons? We just don't know.
