As the adage goes, "April showers bring May flowers." But they don't necessarily bring ideal hair weather. In fact, April's wet and often windy climates seem to only lead to a plethora of hair disasters; think soggy, limp locks one day, flyways and frizz the next. We asked celebrity hairstylist Jen Atkin, who has styled the likes of Sofia Vergara, Megan Fox, and Minka Kelly, to comment on the three hairstyles that can stand the test of April's weather woes (and maybe even shine through them). —Sarah Howard

Undone/Messy: I find this look is best with a middle part and less volume. You want your hair to look effortless, as if it's been blown out and slept on for a day, which is perfect for April’s weather conditions. Put your hair into a loose braid, spray on Bumble and Bumble Beach Spray, and blow-dry the braid. Twist and undo once it’s dry and you'll have tousled waves. Sometimes this style can tend to get a bit frizzy. A trick to fight frizz is to blow-dry the top of your dry hair with cool air and use a boar-bristle brush. This will help combat humidity.
