The pretty celebrities and models who attended last night’s CFDA Awards must’ve taken yesterday’s stormy weather into consideration and reined in their hair by opting for sleek, tightly pulled-back chignons, ponytails, and twists. The oppressive humidity of the last few days has affected all of our hair and complexions, leaving us with gleaming T-zones and turbo-frizzy hair. Whether gelled or hair-sprayed, last night’s taught styles are one aerodynamic way to beat the moisture in the air. Click through the slideshow to see the sleak looks of Joan Smalls, Jessica Chastain, Hilary Rhoda, and others for your own summer hair inspiration.
