"  Most professionally done hair is impossible to replicate at home. Well, Cosmopolitan.com to your rescue with two looks that hardly fall into the &amp;quot;oh, hell no, I could never redo that style by myself&amp;quot; category of hairdos. Hairstylist Matt Fugate shows us how it&amp;#039;s done.  First up, the clean but messy slicked-back style seen at DanniJo&amp;#039;s New York Fashion Week show. Think Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney Kardashian \u2014 the sister trio wears this look and it&amp;#039;s stunning (very rocker chic) on them, which means it will look even better on you.  Here&amp;#039;s how to recreate Dannijo&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;wet&amp;quot; look:  1. Start with your natural dry texture. 2. Wet your hairline. &amp;quot;Use a salt spray&amp;quot; \u2014 like the O&amp;amp;amp;M Surf Bomb Salt Spray that Jessica Matlin used here \u2014 &amp;quot;especially if you have fine hair, since you want to create a bit of texture and hold,&amp;quot; says Fugate. &amp;quot;If you have thick or curly hair, use gel to wet your hairline, since the formula is stronger and will provide more hold.&amp;quot;  3. Smooth the sides. &amp;quot;Take a fine-tooth comb and slick back the sides of your hair,&amp;quot; he adds. &amp;quot;This will give you that bump-free effect and sleekifying the overall appearance.&amp;quot; 4. Clip and let it &amp;quot;dry&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;The reason it&amp;#039;s called the &amp;quot;wet&amp;quot; look is because your hair really isn&amp;#039;t wet, it has just been saturated with product and then left to dry, leaving you with a wet-looking finish,&amp;quot; Fugate says. &amp;quot;So it&amp;#039;s important to secure the smoothed sides with a clip, so that they dry in the slicked-back formation. If you feel more comfortable bobby pinning the sides back so that it doesn&amp;#039;t fall mid date or while you&amp;#039;re dancing the night away, you can do that too.&amp;quot; 5. Use your fingers to add texture. &amp;quot;Take your fingertips and rake them through your hair from your hairline to the crown of your head,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;This will give you that piece-y, textured look that you want at the top of your head for that rocker feel.&amp;quot;  6. Finish with hairspray. &amp;quot;To add a little extra hold, use a medium-hold hairspray to lock in your look,&amp;quot; Fugate adds. 7. Wear the &amp;quot;wet&amp;quot; look like the badass you are. Next up, Rebecca Minkoff&amp;#039;s milkmaid braid. And no, you don&amp;#039;t have to be 1. Swedish to pull off this look or 2. A pro at doing hair to actually execute this style!   Here&amp;#039;s how to get these gorgeous milkmaid braids:  1. Create a side part. &amp;quot;Part your hair in line with the arch in your left eyebrow,&amp;quot; says Fugate. &amp;quot;You can use your pinky finger to create it, since it doesn&amp;#039;t need to be perfect.&amp;quot; 2. Give yourself some pigtails. &amp;quot;Separate your hair into two pigtails&amp;quot; \u2014like Natalie Zfat did above \u2014 &amp;quot;leaving a tiny sliver of hair out on each side, securing each ponytail with an elastic band,&amp;quot; he adds. &amp;quot;This anchors the braids you&amp;#039;re about to create.&amp;quot; 3. Wrap the sliver of hair around your hair tie. &amp;quot;To give your pigtails (and overall style) a cleaner look, wrap the sliver of hair you left out in the step above around each hair tie, and secure it with a bobby pin,&amp;quot; says Fugate.  4. Separate your pigtail into two sections. &amp;quot;This preps your hair for the fishtail braid you&amp;#039;re about to make,&amp;quot; he says. 5. Weave a fishtail braid. &amp;quot;Working on one pigtail at a time, start by separating it into two sections, holding one in your left and right hand,&amp;quot; Fugate explains. &amp;quot;Then, take a sliver of hair from the outer side of the section in your left hand and cross it to over the inner side of the gathered hair in your right hand. Repeat this same action, starting with the section in the right hand and continue this back and forth until you reach your ends.&amp;quot; 6. Secure the braid with an elastic, so it doesn&amp;#039;t unravel. &amp;quot;And then gently pull it apart with your fingers to create a thicker-looking braid and to give it added texture before you wrap it over your head,&amp;quot; he says. 7. Wrap the braids across the top of your head. &amp;quot;Take the right braid and pull it over your head, so that it lands directly in between your hairline and the crown of your head,&amp;quot; Fugate says. &amp;quot;Then bobby pin it at the base and at the ends so it stays in place.&amp;quot; 8. Repeat step 7. on the left side. &amp;quot;Just be sure to tuck the ends underneath the first braid you wrapped over your head to conceal them so it looks polished.&amp;quot;  9. Finish with a little hairspray. 10. Wear your milkmaid braid like nobody&amp;#039;s business. Photo Credit: Elizabeth Griffin/Imaxtree Follow Carly Cardellino on Facebook and Twitter.
