10 Celebrities Demonstrate the Power of This 1 Simple Hair Hack

It turns out there's a pretty simple way to totally change your look, and it doesn't take anything more than a little hairstyling ingenuity. If straight locks are your standard fare, it's amazing what some curl can do. Beachy waves might frame your face in a whole new way, brushed-out finger curls can add a romantic flair to your vibe, and big-bodied coils will make your hair the main event.

If natural waves are your daily look, try a sleek blowout for instant chic, add a deep side part for iconic style, or give your straightened tresses slight texture for a smooth look that's still super casual. For inspiration, just check out these celebs who look totally gorgeous — and totally different — rocking both. Then break out your straightener, or warm up those rollers, and get ready to see yourself in a whole new light.
