Kristen Stewart
Usually, K-Stew does the exaggerated, half-of-my-hair-flipped-over-the-the-way thing, but when she does go for a more natural part, you can see how the roots grow in opposite directions. No biggie.

Lindsay Lohan
LiLo has to contend with one that lies along her widow's peak, but it just looks like a cool, zig-zaggy parting.

Blake Lively
Baby Blake Lively! With a baby cowlick! If you want to smooth yours out (no hate, people—just options), start with wet hair, and blow-dry in the direction you want it to fall. Once it's dry but still hot, bobby-pin it to your head and let cool.
