Au Naturale
Calling all beach babes, let loose and let your hair down. Keep things natural with an effortless textured wave — the perfect no-fuss 'do for the lazy girl. It's all about the layers, so get your stylist to give you the right cut that air dries in natural swirls. Once you get layers snipped in, all you need to do is to scrunch up damp hair with a sea salt spray, like the Ouai Wave Spray, $26, twist three-inch sections and air dry.

Get Shorty
When you need a drastic change, chop everything off! A pixie cut can be transformative — and low-maintenance. Opt for a cut with baby bangs and style it with a piecey, matte finish with Aveda Control Paste, $29. You can even add a little whimsy to your look and accessorize with fun headbands and statement earrings.

Braidy Bunch
You have all year to experiment with fishtails, Dutch braids or cornrows. Braids are pretty versatile, and once you've got your weaving technique down pat, you'll be amazed with how many looks you can achieve. For that festival queen plait, prep the hair with Bumble and Bumble Bb. Thickening Dryspun Texture Spray, $31, to create volume and texture. If you prefer to keep it sleek and glossy, massage John Frieda Luminous Glaze Liquid Shine Clear Glaze, $11.99, into damp hair for a braid that's shiny as glass.

Think Pink
Pink hair don't care. You don't need to go overboard and go with a radical color to change up your look. Pastel hues can be just as impactful. The new pink is softer and more grownup — it looks great with a tousled bedhead or a chic modern-day beehive. Choose a multifaceted prismatic color, like L'Oreal Paris Feria Hair Color in Smokey Pink,7.99, for a versatile pink shade that works for any occasion.
