Crowning Glory

Loose, carefree hair is beautiful, but having it fall in your face all day just isn't worth the vanity points. So what's a girl to do? Designers found the answer by pulling back the crown of their models' hair at the Spring 2008 shows, and we've already spotted a few celebs trying out the trend. An added beauty bonus: no more strands sticking to your lip gloss.

Emporio Armani Spring 2008

If your hair is curly, don't use pounds of product to force it: Work with your natural volume instead. Apply a curl-sculpting product like Matrix Curl Life Spiraling Gel,and use your fingers to gather however much hair you want to shape. Secure with bobby pins and you're done. Don't fuss over bumps -- the texture enhances the style!

Jessica Alba

Alba opted for a gently pulled back style, just like the models at the Armani show. To do it yourself, use your thumb and middle finger to separate as much hair as you would like to pin back. Twist the separated section twice and then secure firmly with hairpins.
