Lauren Conrad is the quintessential California beach girl, so it's no surprise she pulls off this easy hairstyle with aplomb. Twisted back bangs work no matter what stage you're at with growing them out, but if you have a few spare flyaways, spray a light hold hairspray on your fingers before making the twists.

As soon as we saw Cara Delevingne in this forehead-framing braid, we were instantly obsessed. Tight, secure and not a bang in sight. (Hint: If you're bangs-less, you can still get the look with a clip-in extension.)

Sometimes all you need for a little controlled style is a bobby pin or two. Emmy Rossum expertly kept her bangs out of her face with these white bobby pins.

Kerry Washington's pulled-back hairstyle and bouncy blowout is prim and proper from the front, but the back is open for statement-making hair accessories. Throw in a bold metallic barrette, or one of these embellished ones from Karina French Couture.

Rachel McAdams shows us it's not impossible to pin back your bangs and keep some volume in your 'do. Spray bangs with a dry shampoo (we like the new weatherproof versions, like ColorProof HumidityRX Anti-Frizz Weatherproof Spray), before teasing lightly with a comb, then pinning back.
