If you have finer curls like Jessica Alba, take advantage of your subtle texture with this side-parted, soft style. To start, enhance natural waves with a treatment-styler (we love Sally Hershberger's New Elastocurl lotion) and then sweep hair to the side. "Do this without brushing or combing out curls, to keep the texture," says Dickey.

"Next, pick up the entire back section at the nape of the neck and push it up to get lift and height at the crown — you can secure it with a beatiful comb or large bobby pins." The best part of this look is that it doesn't require any OCD moves; in fact, its unfinished nature is what makes it look so effortless and romantic.
