When it comes to wearing your hair under a graduation cap, “the simpler, the better,” says Grmolyes. “The last thing you want to do is try to fix an updo once you remove your cap. Plus, your hair will be covered up anyways, so why go through all of that work?”

To get Kate Hudson’s straight and sleek look, part your hair first. “A middle part is best for this kind of look,” says Grmolyes. Then blow dry your hair straight using a paddle brush, and use a flat iron on the bottom half of your hair to make sure it stays straight throughout the day. Apply an anti-frizz serum (try John Frieda Frizz Ease Serum, $7) to create a seal over your hair against the humidity.
