If your naturally straight hair is being stubborn, Rhys suggests running a flatiron over the ends to make them look sharp; then use a styling wax (try Davines Invisible Paste, $20.50) to define ends and add more texture. Set with hairspray.
Have wavy hair? Add a pea-sized amount of grooming cream (try Bumble and Bumble Grooming Creme, $26) to the ends to bring out more wave. Tip: For more drama, pin your hair to the side with a glam barrette.

Texturize It
Great for: Short hair
If you have curly hair, just dampen it with a leave-in mist (try Pantene Pro-V Curly Hair Series Heat Protection and Shine Spray, $5.99) and add a few drops of curl creme all over for more control and moisture. Then, lightly diffuse hair at the roots. If necessary, finish a few pieces around your face with a small curling iron.
Bad hair days. We've all been there ... and it's so frustrating. When I had long hair, I wanted to cut it because it was way too heavy, greasy, and flat. So I cut it short ("low maintenance, here I come!") and was thrilled until pieces started sticking out every which way. Now, while it's growing out, it just looks dented and weird most days.
Don't get me wrong; if I bother to take the time to style my hair, it looks just how it's supposed to. But what's a girl who's crunched for time to do with hair that's just not cooperating? Call up an expert stylist and ask for help, of course! So, that's what I did and now you don't have to.
I collected the styling tips from celebrity stylists Jet Rhys and David Lopez to find the easiest styling 'dos to bail us out of bad hair days. See if any of them will work for you!
