For days when you want a little variety, apply a styling product and air-dry as usual, then take a section of hair behind each ear and pull and pin with a pretty clip at the crown of your head, advises Antonio Solimeno, creative director for 7 Salon, in Seattle. "Curly hair looks sexy when it's slightly messy," adds Blandi. This half-up, half-down style is youthful yet polished and works well with any face shape.
