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.

There's nothing worse than trying to pull off a straight and sleek style, only to realize your awkward in-between bangs are not going to seamlessly blend in with the rest of your straight strands. Rosie Huntington Whiteley wore her hair in a deep side part, twisting her flat-ironed bangs back and pinning into her hair. Hide the bobby pin by draping another hair over the pin and using pins that match your hair color. And if your hair's extra shiny -- no one will notice anyway. Try the new Toni & Guy Shine Gloss Serum mid-shaft to the ends of hair.

If your bangs are still in the shorter stages of growing out, you often have to do a higher ponytail to get them to fit in an elastic. But that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice length. Put up half of your hair in a high ponytail with bangs swept back to reach the hair elastic. Next, gather the rest of your hair in a ponytail slightly below the first to create the illusion of one lengthy pony. For Kate Beckinsale's added volume, backcomb the bangs and spray lightly with hairspray before pushing back into the hair elastic.
