Curly Hair: A Bouncy Blowout
Even girls with super-curly hair can master the perfect wavy blowout. The key is to work with small sections, using a large, round brush. Be sure to keep the blow-dryer aimed downward to prevent frizz. When you're finished, use a wide-barrel curling iron from your ears down to create loose waves. Smooth down fuzzy pieces with a styling cream.

Fine Hair: Tousled Bedhead
If you want to add a touch of oomph to your naturally straight strands, as Kate Bosworth does here, start with a volumizing shampoo and conditioner. Then, saturate damp hair with a texturizing spray before blow-drying, using just your fingers to style.

Relaxed: Flipped Out Waves
Gabrielle Union channels Farrah Fawcett with this layered look. For a similar effect, mist damp hair with a heat-protective spray before blow-drying with a large, round brush. Once hair is dry, wrap sections around a one-inch curling iron, winding them away from your face. Finish with a lightweight hair spray.

Medium: A Textured Bun
If you have naturally wavy hair like Eva Mendes, use a curl-enhancing spray, then let it air-dry, or use a diffuser to bring out your natural texture. Then, gather everything into a high, loose bun and secure it with hairpins.
