Hair for business

Has anyone seen the hairstyles worn by the actress who plays Nell on Ally McBeal? She has lovely, long blond hair and wears it in a variety of braided up do's which I think are more than appropriate for the office. I work in academia and plan to copy some of her hairstyles if I can figure them out! The dynamic between her and the character "Georgia," who recently chopped her own long locks, is very compelling, though I have to admit, I think Georgia looks better in her new cut.
