Easy Hair Ideas For Every Length #3

Gabrielle-Unions-Curly-Ponytail Gabrielle Union's Curly Ponytail

KEY TIP Full curls like Union's look too busy when swept into a high pony, so keep the style low, and leave out the hairspray. As the structured ringlets fall, a new, laid-back look takes shape.

Jennifer-Morrisons-Hairline-Braid Jennifer Morrison's Hairline Braid

KEY TIP Morrison's stylish hairline braid is an easy way to dress up a ponytail. A deep side part works best when starting your plait so you have more hair to work with, and make sure to secure your braid with a bobby pin to keep it from losing its shape.

Kristin-Cavallaris-Tiny-Braids Kristin Cavallari's Tiny Braids

KEY TIP Cavallari's tiny plaits are easier to twist into second-day hair, so skip the shampoo and pull out a few face-framing tendrils when creating this style. "The undone appearance keeps her updo from looking too coiffed or ready for prom," said Cavallari's hairstylist Marcus Francis.

Thandie-Newtons-Sideswept-Strands Thandie Newton's Sideswept Strands

KEY TIP Newton's perfectly straight hair has a relaxed vibe when swept over her shoulder. The effect is more graphic with super-sleek texture, so blow hair out with a round brush, then touch up any areas with a flat iron as needed.
