Michelle Monaghan’s Casually Chic Bun

At the premiere of Machine Gun Preacher, Michelle Monaghan wore her hair in a classic, slightly messy bun. Recreating her adorable do’ at home involves only a few simple steps. First, section out bangs and either flat iron or blow-dry them with a round brush. Next, backcomb hair through the crown to add a little volume. Then, smooth tresses back to create a ponytail and secure it tightly with a hair elastic. For the final step, twist the ponytail loosely, wrap it around the hair elastic and insert bobby pins to keep the bun in place. It’s that easy!

Jessica Lowndes’ Beautiful Braids

Jessica Lowndes’ adorable, braided ‘do may appear complicated, but if you’re familiar with French braiding, it’s definitely a do-it-yourself look. Begin by making a center part and creating three or four-inch diagonal sections along the hairline. Next, starting at the part, begin the French braid. Once the braid reaches behind the ear, continue a regular braid, incorporating all of the loose strands. For the final step, wrap braids around each other and secure with bobby pins.

Aimee Teegarden’s Perfect Ponytail

Aimee Teegarden wore her hair in a simple and very sleek ponytail at the 9th Annual Teen Vogue young Hollywood party. To try her look, start by pulling hair back into a low ponytail. Using a brush while doing this will help get hair super smooth. Before securing the ponytail with a hair elastic, leave out a one-inch section directly under where the hair is gathered. The final step is to take the loose section and wrap it around the ponytail, securing the ends with a bobby pin. It’s so easy and so versatile.
