You can't go wrong with a pony. "The key here is hair blown-dry naturally or upside down with some mousse to give it some volume," says Garrison, who recommends applying an after-sun moisturizing mist, such as Phyto Hydrating After Sun Hair Mist, $28, to the hair. Then, "the hair is loosely pulled back, not so severely, resting at the occipital bone in the lower rear of the head and secured in a ponytail."
