Rihanna gives a fresh spin to this vintage look by keeping the top flat, not poufy à la That Girl. To get the look, start with dry hair. Using a 1½ inch curling iron, curl just the ends of hair. Finish with a strong-hold hairspray, like that old-school favorite, Aqua Net Professional Hair Spray Extra Super Hold.

Why 2018 is a year that will go down in hair history: Margot Robbie combined two classic styles — the half-up-half-down and the top knot —to create this singularly great look. Let hair air dry, then make a horizontal part from ear to ear. Twist hair up into a top knot, then secure with a ponytail holder.

A little gel gives Katy Perry’s pixie a punk vibe. Use your fingers to work a quarter-size dollop of gel through (dry) hair, pulling small sections up and in different directions to create a spiky look.

Leave it to Jennifer Lopez to set a big hair trend of 2018: the slicked back look. Use a flat iron to get hair as straight as possible. (Spray hair with a heat protectant first to prevent damage.) Then apply gel from roots to ends, using a fine-tooth comb to distribute gel evenly through hair and let dry.

So simple, so sophisticated! To get Freida Pinto's red-carpet-worthy pony, start by flat ironing hair. Then make a deep part on one side, gather hair into a pony at the nape of the neck, then secure with an elastic band.

You probably haven't worn these since middle school, but headbands are making a comeback in 2018. Jessica Biel matched hers to her outfit, plus it keeps her hair pulled away from her face.

Kim Kardashian channeled her inner Cher by rocking long, luscious hair — and it works. You'll probably need help from extensions to get the full length like Kim, but if you decide to grow your hair out instead, be sure to trim it every few months to keep your strands looking healthy.

Selena Gomez celebrated 2018 with newly blonde locks. But if you want to do the same, that doesn't have to mean completely abandoning your original hue. If you're changing up your color, keep the roots dark underneath and have your stylist blend out the top to a bright blonde or silvery grey.

Not into the idea of fully committing to bangs? It's easy to make fake ones for the night just by flipping over a section of hair from the back of your head, and putting the rest up in a top knot, like Chrissy Teigen. Use a wide comb and some bobby pins to make sure it holds.

Ditch the hair dryer this summer for a look that's pretty and damage-free. "Natural textures will be huge this season," says New York City-based celebrity hairstylist Matt Fugate. "You can get the look by using products from the Kerastase Aura Botanica line, which are made for air-dry perfection."

Bangs are having another moment, but are you finally ready to give them a try? "Bangs are an easy thing to get into, especially for anyone who wants a change but doesn't want to change very much," says Joey Silvestera, celebrity hairstylist and founder of Blackstones salons. "Women with long hair who experience boredom can turn to bangs instead of a haircut. They're better than Botox!"

Sorry, folks, but according to Fugate, the lob (long bob) is dead. "Strong architecture is back with super blunt lines for bobs," he says. Silvestera agrees, saying, "Women who became comfortable going from long hair to mid-length hair have now built up enough courage to go shorter."

Farrah Fawcett's iconic '70s 'do is back — 2018 style. The modern take on the look is longer, isn't as layered, and has lots of volume.
