This delicate criss-cross ponytail keeps your hair out of your eyes, face and mind while still looking like you put an effort in. (But here's the secret -- it's not that much effort!)

1. To start this look, Perez recommends applying a lightweight styling lotion. Next, wrap your hair two times around the barrel of a curling iron and hold for just ten seconds for loose, undone waves. (Pictured is Sultra The Bombshell 1 Inch.) Apply hairspray lightly as you go, especially if you have really thin hair says Perez.

2. Next separate a large section of hair from both the left and right sides, pinning it up so it's out of the way.

3. Use a fine-tooth comb to tease the remaining hair and create lift at the crown.

4. Pull the rest of your hair into a low ponytail and spray with a flexible hold hairspray like Black 15in1 Miracle Finishing Spray.

5. Next comes the criss-cross section. Starting with the right side, take a small piece of hair and pull it across to the opposite side. Wrap the end of the hair around your hair elastic. Use a bobby pin to pin it in place. Now do the same thing on the left side, but instead of wrapping the hair around the elastic, thread it through the hair just above the hair elastic. If it's too loose, secure with a bobby pin.

6. Repeat this process until all the hair from your side is added to the base of your ponytail. Spray with a flexible-hold hairspray.

When we saw Diane Kruger's voluminous bun at the 2014 Met Gala, we were instantly in awe. And then we saw it from the back. Gorgeous! Celebrity hairstylist Naté Bova tells us how you can DIY the red carpet style.

1. Start by taking a small chunk of hair from your right side and leaving it down as you pull the rest into a low ponytail, wrapping the hair tie around once. Instead of pulling your hair through the elastic on the second (or third time depending on your hair thickness), pull halfway says Bova.

2. Wrap the remaining hair around hair elastic, securing with bobby pins. Spray hairspray (Bova prefers Warren-Tricomi Style Superhold Hair Spray) around the pinned area.

3. Next, Bova instructs anchoring each side of your bun to the ends you've left out of your ponytail. Secure with bobby pins and spray, spray, spray that hairspray.

Minka Kelly's slightly frazzled-looking braided updo is pure perfection. Not only is it fancy enough for a formal event, but the undone-on-purpose texture allows you to get a little windblown on the way there and simply not care.

1. Bova says to start by parting your hair into three section, making a low ponytail with the middle section.

2. Tease the hair in your ponytail lightly using a flat brush.

3. Next loosely twist your ponytail into a bun and secure with bobby pins. Don't be afraid if it's a little messy, says Bova.

4. Loosely French braid the sections of hair on either side of your ponytail, then wrap them around your messy ponytail, securing with bobby pins at the base.

5. Use the long end of a tail comb (pictured is the Denman DC05 Tail Comb) to loosen up your braids and pull out tendrils of hair around your hairline. Hence the undone-on-purpose look. (For added texture, get some help from a product like Neuma NeuVolume Surf Lotion).

6. Finish with hairspray and a too-die-for clip like this Arielle Chignon Wrap with Double Comb by Jennifer Behr Bridal Collection.
