When it’s steamy out, a sleek braid will get your hair off your neck while looking chic. Kerry Washington’s hairstylist Takisha Sturdivant-Drew applied a leave-in conditioner to damp strands, then added her TSD Hair Yaki Ponytail extensions ($200 and up; tsdhair.com) to create the star’s two “sexy” braids. For Alison Brie’s “soft, zero fuss” look, hairstylist Clariss Rubenstein used the Nexxus Slick Stick ($18; ulta.com) on the length of her ponytail before braiding it topreventflyaways.

If your strands are looking thinner and feel weaker, a scalp serum can help give your follicles a boost. This one uses hydrating glycerin, plus vitamins B3, E, zinc and peptides to strengthen hair and promote growth. For best results, part hair into small sections, and massage a few drops into your scalp at least three times a week.
