Maxine Salon's Raven Hurtado, Jenna Spino, and Amy Abramite share their insights and no-nonsense maintenance and styling tips for each one of these trending hairstyles.

First up, Amy Abramite, creative director and stylist, on the paintbrush pixie cut: "A close, cropped pixie makes fresh ends feel like the soft ends of a paintbrush on Florence Pugh. Hair is cut very short with a blunt rounded shape for a denser feeling with a touchable fluffy texture. Apply leave-in conditioner to moisturize hair when damp. Air dry and brush with a paddle brush so the styling product blends ends together and appears non-existent. Works on all textures but wears best on straight hair."

For when you actually do feel like trying out something new that you can pull off yourself easily, Amy breaks down this look for us, too: "Dua Lipa is channeling 90s supermodel tousled glamour with this bedhead twist. Blow dry bangs and lengths with a large round brush after applying a volumizing spray from roots to ends. Blast with a texturizing spray to separate layers when dry. Using fingers, sweep up into a twist piling loose ends on top and pin. Allow finer pieces of the fringe to fall out around the face. Medium-length layered hair of all types with a bang or face-framing is best to get the style."

Raven Hurtado doesn't see bombshell blowouts going anywhere anytime soon: "Fluffy blowouts are popular and will stay in trend in the fall of 2023. Bouncy, voluminous, lasts for days, and makes any outfit stand out. This style works great on medium to long hair, to see flipped ends and layers pop. To achieve this style use a styling cream like Kerastase L'incroyable Blowdry Hair Lotion on damp hair and dry the hair using a round brush. You can also use hot rollers after you've round brushed and let it sit for 10-20 mins. Release the rollers and shake out the hair with your fingers."

Want to master the Barbie pony? Amy explains how to get perfect results every time: "Barbie mania! This ponytail sits high on the head with a dramatic side part to modernize this iconic Barbie look. Curl the lengths with a curling iron like the Trademark Beauty Mood Starter Kit 1.25 inch for movement, and brush with a cushion brush to expand and smooth waves. Works best on long hair on all texture types to create an elongated ponytail for swing and bounce. Finish with a medium hold hairspray for hold and shine."
