Evan Rachel Wood's Twisty Pixie
KEY TIP Wood's elegant style is a perfect way to hide the awkward growing-in phase between snips. While many associate hair twists with '90s styles adorned with butterfly clips, keep it modern by running a texturizing creme through strands to create shape, and add a mirror-like finish.
Emma Watson's Slicked Down Strands
KEY TIP Watson's graphic style works best with perfectly straight hair, so give strands a quick pass with a flat iron before working styling gel through mid-lengths and ends to secure the look. Be careful not to use too much—a dime-sized amount or less, depending on the thickness of your hair.
Rooney Mara's Tight Low Pony
KEY TIP Don't let the rumors fool you, short hair can pull off a ponytail. Gather strands back into a low style—ponys placed any higher have a blunt, out-of-place appearance—and keep loose pieces at bay with a flyaway tamer like John Frieda's
Olivia Palermo's Short Side Braid
KEY TIP It's all about the imperfections. Don't worry if loose strands fall out of your plait—the appeal is in the carefree, tousled appearance.
