There's a difference between sleek hair and wet hair. Fight frizz all day long with a side-parted low twist. The secret to the glossy finish is styling hair while it's a bit damp and not being shy about using gel and hairspray. This summer hairstyle is a brilliant option on days you slept in because it cuts down blow-drying time yet looks supremely chic.

Bright Pins
Never underestimate the power of the humble bobby pin in transforming a hairstyle. Pick a color, any color, like these 2-Inch Bobby Pins, $7.59, then stack multiple clips at the side of the head to keep front strands off the face. If your hair is long, pull the ends into a loose side-parted updo.

Banded Ponytail
A tousled low ponytail works for any season and pretty much any occasion, including work. Take it up a notch with a headband. Save the floral patterns and sparkly embellishment for the weekend and choose a more minimalist style. The hairband will help control shorter layers and conceal greasy summer roots.

Braided Bun
This summer hairstyle looks gorgeous, but it's not at all complicated to do. In fact, you don't even need a mirror. Simply weave tresses into a low braid then twist them around to form a bun. For a sleek effect, straighten hair beforehand and finish with a frizz-fighting hairspray. We like the John Frieda Frizz Ease Moisture Barrier Firm Hold Hairspray, $8.99.

Volume on the Front
Prefer to wear your hair down but want the layers off your face? Instead of automatically pinning then back, try a different approach. Part front layers into a deep side part and tease to create volume. It has a vintage vibe, frames the face and there's no need to stress about sweaty, piecey bangs.
