BRAIDS: Braided Side Bun

Charlize Theron's intricate red-carpet braid becomes a cute vacation do with a few easy tweaks, says hairstylist David Babaii. "Part your hair on the right and create a left side ponytail with all but one section of hair from the right side," he says. Next, secure the ponytail with an elastic and twist it into a loose bun. Take the loose section of hair, braid it, wrap it around your head, and work it into the bun. "Don't try and make it look too neat-it totally works as a messy updo," says Babaii. Keep flyaways at bay with a light mist of hair spray, like Suave Professionals Touchable Finish Hairspray Lightweight Hold.
