Forget about boho frizz, this year it's all about supersleek strands.

Sleek Side Part
As much as we love a solid middle part, Sally LaPointe reminded us just how stunning a well-executed deep side part can be. The asymmetric design paired with next-level shine screams one thing: boss babe.

To Get the Look: To get the perfect part, use a rat-tail comb to trace a straight line from your hairline back to your crown. Separate the sides of your hair only once you've made it to the back, this will help keep your part crisp and neat.

Polished Low Teardrop Bun
For a slightly more casual, equally as polished look, let your hair fall over your ears while being smoothed back into a low teardrop bun. The low silhouette keeps things sophisticated while the smoothed, over-the-ear finish keeps your overall look simple and ready for whatever the day has in store.

To Get the Look: For the ultimate smooth look with minimal products, use a boar's bristle brush to smooth your hair back into a low ponytail before securing it into a low teardrop bun.

Sleek Accent Braids
Braids are having a serious moment here in 2017, and, like the wet-hair look, there's no sign of them slowing down. So, why not pair the two together? That's what Banana Republic decided to do in this year's SS18 show during NYFW. With a combination of ultra-sleek, pulled-back strands and a perfectly manicured mini accent braid, they introduced the beauty world to one of its new favorite looks.

To Get the Look: Keep a fine-tooth comb handy while weaving your accent braid. Since this look is characterized by a sleek finish, having a comb nearby will allow you to detangle as you go to prevent any unkempt stitches in your braid.

Sleek Crown With Textured Low Pony
This look takes 'business in the front, party in the back' to a whole new level. Featuring supersleek, equal dimensions from the hairline back to the crown, followed by a fully smoothed back and textured low pony that looks purposefully frizzy, this look shows that you're a boss babe that knows how to compromise.

To Get the Look: Instead of teasing your ponytail like crazy, potentially damaging your strands, to get the textured look you're going for, simply wash your hair with a 2-in-1 texture shampoo, geared towards gently cleansing while building texture and hold first.

Polished Garden Braid
If you fancy more intricate hairstyles, go crazy over this gorgeous, (seemingly) complicated garden braid. With so many twists and turns, you might think this hairstyle will take ages to create when in reality it's just an expertly pancaked (pulled-apart) braid.

To Get the Look: After braiding your hair, gently pull at a few strands from each weave to create the whimsical look that makes this hairstyle. Just be sure to not pull too hard -- you don't want to risk unraveling your masterpiece.
