Straight hair lends itself well to many different, versatile hairstyles. From polished looks for work, to more casual weekend looks - straight hair brings out our creativity. If you are looking for new ideas to make the most of your straight hair, then you’ve come to the right place! We are going to look at six amazing hairstyles for a spectacular look on any occasion:
Tousled beach waves
Who said straight hair couldn’t be textured? With just a few of the right implements and products, you can make some tousled beach waves for a fresh, natural look. Simply apply some texturising hairspray over damp hair and use a diffuser on your hairdryer or hair irons on low heat to make gentle waves. Then gently tousle your hair with your fingers and you’ll be all set to go!
Partly tying back straight hair
A good fun option with a modern look to add a touch of style is the bubble ponytail. To do this hairstyle, simply make a high ponytail dividing your hair into sections and tying them up using an elastic band, leaving a space between each one. Then gently pull each section to “open” them creating the “bubble” effect. It’s really easy and looks oh so chic!
Straight hair with a plait
A partly tied back hairstyle with a plait is an excellent way to give that romantic touch to your style. Start off by doing a French plait on one side of your head and tie it back using an elastic band. Then release some locks of hair around your face for a gentle feminine look. This look is perfect for a date or a night out on the town!
Wet look or slicked back
To do the slicked back look, comb or brush your hair back using gel. It was a very popular look in the 50’s and today is an elegant, sophisticated look for day or night. Simply apply some hair gel or styling cream with a shiny finish and comb your hair back using a fine-toothed comb. This hairstyle is ideal for more formal occasions, or for when you want to look polished and elegant.
Hairstyle for short, straight hair
If you have short hair, a straight bob with a centre parting is a classy choice that never goes out of fashion. This hairstyle is perfect to enhance the soft, silky texture of straight hair, and it is easy to maintain with just a little styling product. Furthermore, a centre parting adds a touch of symmetry and balance to your hairstyle.
Tying back straight hair
Last, but by no means least, a high bun is the perfect option for an elegant, sophisticated look for any occasion. Simply tie up your hair in a high ponytail and then twist the ponytail around and wrap it around the base of the bun. Fix it in place using hair clips and apply a little hairspray to keep it in place.
