Lily Collins' Straight Haircut With Bangs
As one of our No. 1 girl crushes, Lily Collins has a flair for gothic glamour that we can't get enough of. Thus, we love the cool juxtaposition of her straight hair, oomphed-up locks and piece-y bangs. To maintain face-faming fringe and keep the look polished, we recommend a pint-sized flat iron like the Mighty Mini Coral Pink Styler, $29, from Amika.

Julianne Hough's Slicked-Back Look
While we're not sure if we can get on board with the soaking wet, just-out-of-the-shower look that we've seen on some stars as of late, we're totally obsessed with Julianne Hough's sleek, straight hairstyle -- a slightly more subdued version of the slicked, wet trend. Plus, it's the perfect antidote for those mornings when you're racing to get out the door. Start with damp hair and brush hair straight back. Then, blow dry strands to stay in place, and finish with an ultra-shiny pomade or oil, like Oribe Gold Lust Nourishing Hair Oil, $52.

Olivia Culpo's Sleek Ponytail
For a high-glam solution to second- (or third- or fourth-) day hair, Olivia Culpo's super-polished straight ponytail gets the job done. To start, create two small braids on both sides of your head. Once you reach the crown, secure the braids with the rest of your hair and gather into a sleek, ultra-high pony.

Emily Ratajkowski's Tousled Texture
To mimic the allure of Emily Ratajkowski's long and windswept layers, work a shine-inducing leave-in conditioner into damp hair before letting it air-dry. If your locks need some extra va-va volume once they've dried, finish with a light-handed spritz of sea salt or texturizing spray to create some body while maintaining the low-maintenance, undone appeal.

Michelle Williams' Glamorous Pixie
If you're suffering through the awkward stages of growing out an ultra-short haircut, Michelle William's sleek and straight hairstyle will breathe some life into your current styling routine. First, create a deep side part when hair is relatively damp. Attach the nozzle to your blow dryer and aim the airflow down and out as you dry to seal the cuticle of the hair and keep the style smooth. Once dry, tuck (or pin) any flyaways behind your ears.
