For Straight Styles:

1. Start with a heat-protecting product, avoiding roots so they don’t look oily, says Alina Friesen, a Vancouver-based stylist recently crowned Canadian hairstylist of the Year at the 2013 Contessa Awards.
   
2. Blow-dry hair upside down to add volume, using low-level heat to smooth (not singe!) the surface.
3. “Fine, straight hair can look fly- away, so rub pomade on the ends for added polish,” says the pro.

For Natural Waves:

1. Rake styling cream through wet hair and then flip it upside down to “rough-dry,” says Friesen.
   
2. Once it’s 60 to 70 percent dry, return upright and gently scrunch to coax waves.
3. Twirl a few face-framing bends with your fingers and lock in the shape with hairspray.

For Curly Styles:

1. Towel-blot moisture from hair before combing in a silky, crunch- free mousse (shake the can well so it doesn’t come out soupy).
   
2. Use a diffuser to build fullness and natural curl.
3. Finesse with a curling iron for debutante-like definition.
