You don’t need a gown or a date in a rented tux to be the belle of the ball! Kendall Jenner, Sophia Bush, Chloe Moretz, and Gabrielle Union all wore prom-inspired updos that aren’t at all cheesy, thanks to a few loose, face-framing tendrils. Try the look yourself by pulling out a few layers around your face after securing your style. Just loosely wrap strands around a medium-barrel curling iron, twisting the curl outward. Be sure not to wind hair too tight, the goal is to create touchable waves, not tight, structured ringlets. And hairspray is optional—as your tendrils become more undone, a new, prom queen-worthy look takes shape.

It’s not even summer, and celebrities are already breaking out the beachy waves! This weekend, take a cue from Jennifer Lawrence, Kristen Bell, Gabrielle Union, and Emmy Rossum, and let your strands hit the shore a few months early. Create effortless texture with a spritz of texturizing spray, then loosely wrap pieces of hair around a curling iron. Rake your fingers through with a smoothing serum to tousle the style, and start thinking of warmer climes. Don’t worry if your ringlets aren’t flawless. Beachy waves aren’t meant to be complicated… or perfect.
