Summer Beauty 2010

WHY IT WORKS "Kate Hudson's style is actually very classic," says Abergel. "Not everyone can handle a middle part, but this side version is universally flattering."
EXPERT TIP Start with wavy, beachy hair—silky straight strands won't hold the style—and part on the side. French braid from one side of your part to the other, working all the way along the hairline to behind the opposite ear. Leave the end of the braid loose or twist it into a low cluster.
