Part hair down the middle, French braid both sides, and twist the ends into a low bun. Embrace flyaways: They keep the style from looking princessy.

Focus on the midshaft down for a sun-kissed look, says L.A. stylist Adir Abergel.

Then divide the tail into three sections and wind each around a curling iron. Drag fingers through the ringlets for a lived-in look. 04 of 08 Kerry Washington's Sideswept Bangs Kris Connor/Abaca USA GET THE LOOK Make your bangs more versatile this summer by growing them out a bit: "This way you can push them off to the side or pin them off of the face," says hairstylist Patrick Melville, owner of the Patrick Melville Salon and Spa in New York. Before you blow dry, prep hair with a styling aid to give them a little hold and flexibility. Aim the nozzle of your blow-dryer down and away from your face, and mist fringe with hairspray to keep it in place.

Then twirl 2-inch sections into tight twists and blast with a blow-dryer for five seconds. Scrunch the ends, and make a jagged, slightly off-center part. 06 of 08 Jessica Alba's Messy Bun Stephen Lovekin/WireImage GET THE LOOK Using a one-inch barrel curling iron, curl your entire head of hair, twirling the iron just halfway up the hair shaft. Then pull back hair into a low ponytail. Twist and pin different sections of hair into the base of the ponytail, creating a messy-textured bun. No hair product necessary! 07 of 08 2009 Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic The mother of 2-year-old Frances Pen starred in Please Give and showed off her perfect features with a sleek updo. 08 of 08 Mary-Kate Olsen's Partial Updo Mike Coppola/FilmMagic GET THE LOOK First, enhance your hair's natural wave by gently scrunching while blow-drying with a diffuser. Then "grab a small section of hair-using your fingers, not a brush!-from the middle of one brow to the other, securing it with a small hair clip or hair pins," says hairstylist Jerome Lordet from the Pierre Michel Salon. "Make sure to loosely clip it back to give it slight height in the front," he adds. Add to Facebook | Add to Twitter
