    Why it rocks: "It's my favorite summer look!" says Moulay. "It's beyond sexy. It's like you have an accessory -- but it's your hair!"
    What to do: It's easier than it looks, ladies! "Comb your hair, pull it back to either side and secure at the nape with a hair tie," says Moulay. Divide your hair, holding half in each hand. Then take a look at this photo tutorial. If you want, "Gently tug the weave open for a cool 'butterfly' effect."

    Forget about misbehaved kids; it's your hair that gets most out of control in the summer. Humidity makes curls wig out and straight hair lie flat and play dead. Meanwhile, the last thing you want to do is spend time styling your strands -- the pool/beach/BBQ/running through the sprinkler sounds much more entertaining.

    Help has arrived: simple ideas from a celeb stylist that will fight humidity and make your hair look seriously good, with minimal bother. "These styles are low-maintenance, easy to do, chic and sexy," says Moulay Yacoubi, a celeb stylist based in New York City who's been featured on Bravo's Shear Genius, CBS, FOX and E!

    Moulay's done the hair of stars including Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston, Uma Thurman, Naomi Campbell and Gisele -- and now he's here to do yours.
