She’s one of the most-watched celebrities in Tinseltown, so Ashley Greene always has to make sure she looks fabulous.

The “Twilight Saga: New Moon” babe confessed that while she has her style nailed down these days, it wasn’t always so easy.

Ashley explained, “I think the biggest mistake I ever made was when one of my friends was like, ‘You should just iron your hair with an iron.’ It was not good at all. It was just stick-straight. I was probably around 14 when I did that; I did a lot of dumb things at 14.”

As for hair dying, “My hair’s been every color under the sun.” Ms. Greene also copped to piling on an excessive amount of hair product in the past- “I used entirely too much hair gel. It was highly flammable, extremely crunchy. I feel like you could break it. It was not a good look for me.”

The key, according to Ashley, is confidence. “I don’t know that I’ve ever met someone who hasn’t had some type of insecure moment or stage. I understand that a lot of things aren’t the end of the world. There were certain things I was very insecure about, but I’m constantly going out there trying to make girls feel like they are special, and I think it rubs off on me.”
