15 Straight Hairstyles That Prove Straight Does Not Mean Boring

Formerly known as the hairstyle purely used just to keep your hair out of your face while brushing your teeth, this pinned-back, straightened-hair look deserves to be seen by the public. Especially when it involves cute little snap clips.

Crazy how the way you style the ends of your hair can totally change the vibe. Whenever you’re not feeling your stick-straight hair look, try curling the ends under just slightly with a round brush and hairdryer.

All our friends with bangs, listen up: You don’t have to wear your bangs the same way every single day. You can push them to one side, middle par them, or blowdry them to get the big, bouncy statement fringe we all adore.

Why is it when we think of straight hair, a middle parting comes to mind? Irina Shayk shows us yet another way to wear the sleek look with this deep side parting. Use a spritz of hairspray to keep your straight hair sleek and smooth.

Some say pixie cuts are limited with the styles they can do, but we beg to differ. See this effortlessly chic pixie paired with chunky jewellery and a thick statement eyeliner.

If you usually just throw your straight hair into an easy ponytail without styling first, might we suggest flat ironing the ends first for a sleep ponytail look like this? Bonus points if you take the time to part your hair down the centre too.

Remember what we said about taking the time to style your hair first? The same goes for half-ponytails too. Use your lat iron to flip out your ends just slightly, then pull half of it up with a scrunchie to finish.

Sometimes the littlest changes make all the difference. Take tucking one side of your hair behind your ear, for instance. The perfect compromise for when you want to show off your jewellery and your hairstyle at the same time.

The biggest misconception about straight hair is that it always needs to be perfectly combed and sleek. But this textured version proves that just isn’t true. On day two or three, blast your roots with texturising spray and mess up your roots for a whole new look and vibe.

The trick to getting those front pieces to stay tucked behind your ears when wearing your hair straight? Tie both sides in a ponytail underneath your hair in the back and hide it with your hair on top.

How to make a ponytail formal: make it sleek and add a bow with black velvet ribbon. The rough texture of the ribbon perfectly contrasts the ultra-smooth vibes of your straight hairstyle.

When in doubt, wear a headband. When you want to standout, wear a padded headband or a statement pearl headband like this on your straight hairstyle.

If you’ve got a super-long ponytail, you need an equally impressive base to balance it out. To copy this look, take a slither of hair and wrap it around your hair and tie it down the tail for a cool finish. But first, make sure to prep your straight hair with the right anti-frizz products for a smooth look like this. We recommend the frizz dismiss range from Redken available in the salon.

Wow! We have never seen a half-up, half-down ponytail look so regal. With not a hair out of place, this elegant version of the typical casual hairstyle has us second-guessing everything.

Just because you’ve finished straightening your hair, doesn’t mean you’re done styling it. Finish with a few drops of hair oil worked into the lengths of your hair for a beautiful eye-catching shine like this.
