Best Tressed: Easy, Pretty Hairstyles

Take 5 Years off Your Face

"Bangs are like Botox, hiding lines, while length and layers add youthfulness," Garrison says.

Fresh Fringe

• Shoulder length or longer
• Full, textured bangs (a blunt cut is too bulky)
• Layers from the chin down
• Straight to wavy texture

Styling Secrets
Apply a smoothing serum (such as John Frieda Frizz-Ease Secret Weapon, $5.99, drugstores) all over. Starting with the underneath layers and working your way up, blow-dry section by section with a medium round brush; wind ends upward for bounce. Finally, place the brush under your bangs, put the blower's nozzle directly above them, and dry until they're smooth.
