Sloppy
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 ...

Chic
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.

Summer has always been an excuse to get lazy. Skip the foundation, ditch the iron, go ahead and wear those ballet flats instead of the peep toe pumps. But admit it: Lazy summer days mean you also get lazy in other areas as well. And while you may get away with a makeup-free face and flops, pulling off a head full of frizz isn't an option.

So, what to do when your messy hairstyle is more sloppy than chic? Try one of these five easy looks that offer an instant fix.
