UPGRADE YOUR BLOWOUT

Let go of Kardashian hair, those perfectly symmetrical curls that curve away from the face. Instead, get inspired by a picture of Erin Wasson or Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (and countless spring shows, including Versace and Burberry) and create more natural looking, loose waves of different sizes. A flatiron will give hair a gentle, asymmetrical bend, says Francesa Demauro of Bumble and Bumble Salon in New York City. She recommends styling air-dried strands-anything too silky-smooth could crease under the iron's heated plates.

- Grab the top two thirds of your hair around your head and pin it up.
- Then, section by section, flatiron the hair. For each two-inch section, slide the iron halfway down the shaft before angling the iron in toward your head. This will push the hair outward and create a bend as you pull the iron through to the ends.
- Repeat for the bottom and middle layers, taking extra care around the face-framing pieces.
