Then, spray any flyaways with holding spray (remember, the look here is sleek).

Katherine Heigel's slightly messy updo looks glam for parties. Get the look: 1. First, apply a curling cream to damp hair, then use a diffuser to completely dry hair. 2. Take a curling iron and completely curl your hair, in small sections. 3. Spray your curls with a finishing spray. 4. Then take your hair and twist into a loose bun right below the crown, making sure the curls don't get slicked back, and secure with pins. Don't worry about flyaways -- it's supposed to be messy. 5. Finally, finish with a little hairspray for good measure.

Kate Winslet's 'do is an Oscar favorite -- but you can wear it anywhere. What to do: 1. Apply mousse to damp hair and blow dry with a round, mixed- or boar-bristle brush. 2. Work styling gel through hair (from ear-length down). 3. Part hair in the center and brush back into a low ponytail, leaving out some strands out near your temples. Secure the pony at the nape of your neck with an elastic. 4. Braid or twist the ponytail to wrap it around the base. Secure with bobby pins. 5. Twist the hair you left out back and over the top of the bun. Pin into place. 6. Tame flyaways with finishing cream and apply hairspray for extra hold.
