Remember to Prime
"Applying the right foundation is very important. The proper products ensure hold, shine, and longevity for any style," said hairstylist Sarah Lund. Spritzing on a priming lotion to damp hair does everything she said and also smooths frizz. Lund loves using the Kevin Murphy Anti-Gravity Spray ($31). (Full disclosure: she's a rep for the brand.)

Bring Backup
"Bring a stash of pins and a mini hairspray for any loose hairs and midnight touch-ups," said Lund. Our favorites? The Bachca Paris Bobby Pin Set ($7).

Wear It Up
"Consider wearing your hair up," said Lund. "There are so many ways to wear a low ponytail — either smooth and sleek or soft and textured — or you can even add a sparkly clip and a velvet bow for extra glam." We like this Chloe and Isabel Metal Pony Piece ($17).

Skip the Wash
"Don't wash your hair," said editorial hairstylist Chuck Bass. "Second-day hair lasts better." That's because second-day hair, with its oils and grit, gives better grip to a style.

Keep Your Hands Off
To prevent your look from falling flat, Bass suggested you avoid touching your hair with your hands — the oils and moisture on them can break down the style.
