Plus, it made more in its opening weekend [than any other solo superhero](/flash/2013/05/morning-scoop-met-ball-looks-ironman-3-tops-box-office), not to mention practically any movie ever. Personally, though, I was stoked to hear that [Gwyneth Paltrow](/healthystars/2013/04/gwyneth-paltrow-feel-great-secrets-slideshow) totally embraces her inner badass as Pepper Potts and, from what I've seen, looks *gorgeous* in the process. (I mean, hello! Look at her.) Here's how to get her beachy-cum-badass texture.\\n\\n Start by washing your hair with a curl-defining shampoo and conditioner (even if you have straight hair), then use a microfiber towel to squeeze out all the water. Gentle comb out your 'do with a wide toothed comb, then scrunch in a curl defining, volumizing mouse like [Bumble and bumble's](http://www.bumbleandbumble.com/product/907/3961/Products/Curl-Conscious/Styling/curl-conscious-holding-foam/index.tmpl).\\n\\n If you have natural texture, use a diffuser to blow dry sections, gently cupping handfuls of strands as you. If you've got super straight hair like moi, dry it with a diffuser similar to the above. While your strands are still warm, twist two-inch pieces into tiny little buns and pin them in place. Leave it in for an hour at least (I did closer to four, cause like I said, my mane is straighter than an arrow) before you let them loose and spritz with flexible hold hairspray. I'm loving [this spray from VO5](/beauty/2013/04/20-hair-products-under-20-dollars-slideshow#slide=20).\\n\\n Then, go kick some bad-guy ass.\\n\\n RELATED LINKS:\\n\\n- [How do I make beachy waves last?](/flash/2012/11/reader-question-how-do-i-stret)\\n- [The best hair products for 2013.](/beauty/2013/05/healthy-beauty-awards-hair-products-slideshow)\\n- [The Ultimate Guide to Gym Hair](/beauty/2013/01/gym-hair-guide-slideshow#slide=1)\\n\\nImage Credit: *Courtesy of ScreenRant.com*"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
