And who better to give us some perfect hair-spiration than some of our very favorite, cool-under-pressure celebs?

We’re obsessing over Seyfried’s sleek, twisted updo. To do a slightly easier version at home, apply shine-enhancing gel to wet hair and slick back in sections. Twist each section onto itself and pin — you’ll be left with a chic and edgy ‘do that will last all night with zero effort.

Got a super-chic wedding coming up? Meet your nuptials-appropriate hair soulmate, Freida Pinto, who proves that you can’t go wrong with a shiny, sleek side chignon. Got bangs? Give them a bit of a curl with an iron, comb through, and spray to the side, to create a seamlessly sleek look.

We would like to honor Ms. Olivia Palermo with the award for the fattest, most voluminous side braid that ever was. Take a cue from the style star and pull your plait apart after braiding, for a loose, mermaid-y look that’s as perfect for a daytime bike ride as it is for your hottest night out.

Dying to get your hair off your face? Rather than slicking it all back, try this modified bouffant à la Aisha Tyler, with volume on the top and super-sleek sides. If you have bangs, just rake them back with a bit of molding wax — totally summertime-easy.

Braids, oh how we missed thee. Just when we thought Hollywood had ditched plaits for ponytail-focused ‘dos and pixie cuts galore, Emma Watson delivered with what might be one of the best braided ‘dos we’ve ever seen. To recreate? French braid from the forehead to the back, secure, then add more regular braids underneath. Weave it all together, pin at the base of your head, and muss with your fingers — that wasn’t so hard, now was it?
