Pinned bangs and curls
Step 1: As soon as you get out of the shower, towel dry your hair and mist it with salt spray. We like Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Wild Ginger Texturizing Sea Spray, $17.95.
Step 2: Blow dry your hair with a diffuser to bring out your natural waves. As you're drying, try to scrunch your hair to create more texture.
Step 3: If your hair is naturally straight, use a 1-inch curling iron to curl 1-inch sections of your hair. Then rake your fingers through your hair.
Step 4: Create a small pouf with your bangs and pin them in place.

Top knot 2.0
Step 1: Blow dry hair with your head flipped over for added volume.
Step 2: Mist your hair with a shine serum. Then pull your hair into a high ponytail and secure with an elastic.
Step 3: Divide your ponytail into three sections. Wrap each section individually around the base of your elastic, tucking in ends and securing with bobby pins.
Step 4: Pull out a few loose ends from your topknot to create an undone look. Finally, add a satin ribbon or a headband to keep your hair away from your face and neck.
Pro tip: If you have really thin hair, you can add hair extensions to your hair before tying it up so that you can add girth to the bun

Big hair, don't care
Step 1: Start by applying volumizing mousse to damp hair, and let it dry naturally.
Step 2: To get small, spiral curls, wrap your hair in 1/2-inch sections around a 1/2-inch curling iron. Only curl from the mid-section to the ends, leaving the crown straight.
Step 3: Use a teasing comb to backcomb your curls from the bottom layer up. Lift up each layer and mist your curls with strong-hold hairspray. Try Pantene Pro-V Curly Hair Series Satin Hold Hairspray, $4.99.
Step 4: With a flat brush, smooth down hair around the crown of your head and secure with bobby pins. Apply a shine serum on top to taper any flyaways.
Step 5: Finally, take a 1-inch section at the front side part and twist backwards, pinning it back with a bobby pin.
I'm crazy about summer. Nothing beats poolside lounging, watermelon slices, sundresses and endless nights. Unfortunately, my hair does not feel the same way -- even though I love the feeling of sand in my toes, sun on my face (with sunscreen!) and saltwater on my skin, my hair does not appreciate mixing with all of the elements. It stubbornly refuses to be anything besides a big, frizzy, hot mess.
While everything else goes swimmingly in the summer, maintaining cute hair when you're outside sweating isn't so easy. That's why we talked to top celebrity hairstylists for their best ideas on the summer hairstyles that'll get you through all your outdoor escapades.
It is possible to keep hair breezy, natural and ... slightly ... tamed even while the temperature and humidity rises. The key is embracing, not fighting, your summer hair's texture. These hairstyles will stay out of your sweaty (oh, we mean glowing) face and make you feel cooler than ever.
Another secret to maintaining the perfect summer styles is cranking up your hair care. Vince Smith of the eponymously named salon in New York City (he's styled models for shows at New York's Fashion Week) shares some of his conditioning tips:
· Wear SPF protection in your hair before going out in the sun. Try a leave-in spray.
· Apply a leave-in conditioner before going swimming in the pool. It'll help prevent chlorine from absorbing into the hair.
· Use an after-sun hair masque if you've been soaking in the sun for more than an hour. It'll help repair any damage.
Various celebrity hairstylists including Adir Abergel, Jeffrey Martinez, and Kara Silverman, to name a few, walked us through exactly how they gave these celebrities their red-carpet dos and how to do other trendy styles seen on: Kristen Stewart, Kerry Washington, Bar Refaeli, Rosario Dawson, Reese Witherspoon, Rachel McAdams, Gwen Stefani, January Jones, Zoe Saldana and Whitney Port.
