Sometimes, the only way to beat the suffocating summer heat is to camp out in front of your AC unit and crank it to arctic. But for those days when you can't avoid the muggy outdoors, choose a hairstyle that doesn't stick to the back of your neck. Here's some celebrity inspiration.

LONG AND SILKY
Beyoncé
Beyoncé's pin-straight style is unexpected and adds polish to her look. (Curly hair disclaimer: Skip it unless you're willing to spend some quality time with your flatiron.) Apply a styling wax, likeRedken Wax Blast 10 High Impact Finishing Spray-Wax, from roots to ends to smooth flyaways, provide grip, and leave a mirror-like shine. Finish by creating a low ponytail at the nape of your neck, wrapping a section of hair around the base, and going over the tail with a flatiron.

FRAMED BY FRINGE
Taylor Swift
"This is a classic ponytail, but it's really shiny, and that's what dresses it up," says hairstylist Nathaniel Hawkins. The focus here is definitely the fringe. To "get a beautifully finished, elegant bend," Hawkins suggests blow-drying bangs with a round brush and setting them with a large Velcro roller. Short on time? Even shorter on Velcro? Try quickly running a flatiron through bangs, turning it away from your face as you pull away. Lightly tease the roots for fullness, then secure the ponytail straight back and tighten. Finish with an aerosol shine spray. Hawkins uses Oribe Shine Light Reflecting Spray for a lustrous sheen that's still natural.

LIGHT AND AIRY
Jessica Chastain
Chastain's bedhead ponytail is the perfect combination of effortless and sexy, and the no-fuss look works with any texture. Just apply dry shampoo to your roots to eliminate grease and flatness (Klorane Gentle Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk is great), gather hair up, and lightly ruffle the top with your fingers for a tousled appearance. "Just play with it until you get your desired disheveledness," says Fugate.
