1. Apply a curl-enhancing serum to your hair to tame frizz and smooth it out.
2. Section off the top portion of your hair. This shouldn't extend past the outer corner of your eyes and should reach the top of your crown. Clip that section off to the side.
3. Take the rest of your hair and pull it into a ponytail at the back of your crown. Use a soft brush to smooth flyaways and tug on the ends to tighten it as needed.
4. Unclip the top portion and tease it gently to create volume. Then gather that section back toward your ponytail, wrapping the ends around the base of the elastic. Secure with bobby pins.
5. Finish by misting with hairspray.

Scenario: You washed your hair last night and let it air dry, assuming you'd wake up early to give yourself some extra styling time. Except you completely missed your alarm and now your hair is a tangled, flat mess. Here's how to tame your texture -- fast.

1. Apply a styling lotion to the length of your hair. Then create a side part, using a soft brush to smooth the front of your hair down.
2. Begin twisting your hair along your hairline on either side of your part. Make sure to twist away from your face and keep it tight.
3. Once you reach the back of your head, secure each twist with criss-crossed bobby pins.
4. Finish with a spritz of shine serum.

Scenario: You've got naturally wavy hair, so the messy-chic look is easy for you to pull off -- most days. The problem? Your hair has a mind of its own, and sometimes your freshly washed, air-dried hair looks so good people ask if you just got a blowout. Other days, it looks more sloppy than chic. On those days, here's what to do ...

1. Apply a smoothing balm onto your hair from roots to tips. Then, create a deep side part.
2. Using a 1-inch flat iron, take vertical sections of your hair and curl them away from your face. Clamp your hair at the root, and twist the iron in a complete circle. Then, as the iron is wrapped, run it down through to the ends of your hair. For best results, wrap and run the iron down your hair quickly to prevent creasing.
3. Once all of your hair is curled, rake through them using a paddle brush to separate them.
4. Mist your hair all over with shine serum and hairspray to finish.
