Hair: Up vs. Down

Are you the type to throw your hair into a pony - even if it's just been styled? Or do you default to down every day?

By Didi Gluck

Are you the type to throw your hair into a pony - even if it's just been styled? Or do you default to down every day? Surprisingly, your hair habits may not be working for you. Here, the pros spell out when it's right, wrong and absolutely essential to sport each look.

Updo & Downdo Don'ts
If you put your hair up, avoid:

Huge accessories

Overly curly updos (you'll look like Shirley Temple)

If you leave it down, avoid:

Overstraightening (the "Cher hair" trend has passed)

Bad texture.

Even if you roll out of bed without brushing your hair, run a little gloss or leave-in conditioner through it so you don't wind up with frizz.
