Even flat hair can have extreme volume with a few simple steps. Start by misting a styling spray that volumizes (like Paul Mitchell Extra Body Finishing Spray, $14.95, at salons) throughout hair. Then use a small (1-inch) curling iron to create curls all over your head. Let the curls cool completely, then brush hair out and back comb or tease for even more volume. Finish with hairspray. -- Sean James, hair stylist

You can achieve soft, touchable curls in one of three ways: pin curls, hot rollers or braids. (For pin curls, roll hair up and secure each curl with clips or bobby pins, then blow-dry.) Let hair set for as long as possible, then take down and secure curls with a light hairspray. -- Hasblady Guzman, hair stylist for Aveda

Under sweltering conditions, don't continuously powder your face as you do your makeup or the result will look cakey. Wait until just before you're ready to go out, then blot excess moisture and set with powder. -- Lisa O'Connor, makeup artist
