While summer was about intricate braided updos, beachy waves, and sun-kissed highlights, winter's reigning trend is simplicity. "The overall movement we're seeing is wearable hair that doesn't have any complexity," says Danilo, Pantene's celebrity hairstylist. "It may have some twists and turns, but overall the presentation is easy, simple hair."

But to pull off the latest trends, Danilo says you first need to have healthy hair. "A lot of this season's trends incorporate long hair and hot tools. So you want to have a good foundation that can hold up to the heat," he says. "Skin regenerates but hair needs all the help it can get to keep it from snapping."

So he recommends using moisturizing hair care products that can recoup even the coarsest, damaged hair, like the new Pantene Advanced+ Keratin Repair line. Having healthy hair is especially important now, says Danilo. "This season's new styles all highlight healthy, shiny hair." Want to see the new styles of winter? Read on.

Your go-to ponytail is getting a sleek makeover for the new year. Danilo says you can wear it low, knotted, or braided, but the key is that it looks shiny. "There's a new finished look to the hair that has a beautiful, touchable sheen," he says. If you're not a fan of the deep side part, Danilo says you can part your hair in the center, or wherever else you feel comfortable. Then tie your hair into a low ponytail. Take a 1/2-inch section of hair and wrap it around the elastic, pinning the ends in. Finish by smoothing down any frizz or split-ends with a cream like Pantene Advanced+ Keratin Repair Split-End Fuser, $12.99. It temporarily fuses any split-ends to give you a clean finish.

If you don't want to fork over $40 on a professional blowout, you can get the same smooth look at home. But, Danilo says to be careful: "People often burn their hair when leaving the blow dryer on one section for too long." The key is to have state-of-the-art tools, he says. Invest in a tourmaline or infrared blow dryer, which has "components that'll protect your hair and dry it faster."

Make sure to apply a leave-in conditioner, like Pantene Aqua Light Weightless Conditioning Shake Spray, $6.99, to damp hair. Then, brush your hair upside down while using the blow dryer. "Once dry, I just go through the hair with a 2-inch curling iron, which replicates the look of blowing your hair out with a huge round brush."

You only want to heat up the iron up to two-thirds of its temperature range. Even though the tool can get hotter, Danilo doesn't recommend going all the way up. "If you were to put the tool on your skin, you'd see just how hot this stuff is," he says.

With hairstyles taking a simpler turn, there are a lot more French twists on the red carpet. "The modern chignon very reminiscent of a '60s Hitchcock feel," says Danilo. Sweeping bangs with a simple chignon is easy and elegant. "It doesn't involve a lot to accomplish; it just involves practice," he says.

After blow drying your hair upside down for natural texture (or letting it air dry for even less damage), pull your hair to the back, like you would for a ponytail. Then lay the ends down flat over the back of your head, and pin it down from top to bottom. Twist your hair over the bobby pins and tuck the ends in, pinning as you go.

Once you practice, Danilo says you can get this up in 5 minutes: "Add texture, pull back, twist, pin -- done." Lastly, you don't want your updo to deflate when faced with humidity, so spritz an anti-humidity spray, like Pantene Normal to Thick Hair Solutions Anti-Humidity Hairspray, $3.99.

Danilo says to think of braids as the new hair accessories. You can do a braided headband, a thick French braid around your hairline, a braided ponytail, or a thin braid hanging with long hair. "We saw the first generation of braids with Jennifer Aniston and Lauren Conrad, but you'll start to see braided details as accents on all different types of hairstyles." The key is to make them look sleek and healthy, so use a deep-conditioning treatment once a week, like Pantene Advanced+ Keratin Repair 60-Second Therapy Ampoules, $12.99.

For a side fishtail braid, tie your hair into a low, side ponytail with a thin elastic or rubber band. Split your hair into two sections, then take a small section of hair from the outside of the left half and bring it over to add to the right half. Do the same thing on the other side, and repeat until you're done. Finally, tie the ends with an elastic, then cut the first elastic at the top.
