A long straight hair can be best described as sophisticated, classic and structured. It’s a style that you could wear to special occasions such as weddings, parties and formal events. These can vary from precision cuts to one length looks, from sliced flicked out razor-cuts to various layered styles. Shapes change with hair cutting tweaks such as the incorporation of bangs, layered sides and graduation. Styling products are used to aid and assist shape and durability. Other styling aids such as rollers can be used for root lift, and ceramic irons are used to help achieve extra body and hold.
Long extensions
If you have very long hair, you can achieve this look by blow-drying hair straight and using a flat iron and get the salon look right away. However, to get the added length, ask your stylist for extensions. This look will be best if you do a good blow dry in the beginning versus just flat ironing.
Half-up and sleek
Set the front, top portion of the hair with large hot rollers for volume and then smooth the back with anti-frizz and a brush, Smooth the look with a ceramic flat iron and then back-comb the front from ear to ear on the top part of the head. Secure the top section at the back with bobby pins. Make sure the flat iron isn’t too hot or it can damage the hair.
Super-sleek and straight
Smooth a straightening balm on wet hair and blow-dry with a flat brush. When hair is nearly dry, switch setting to cold to lock in the shine. Finish by flat ironing by switching to the cold setting, you add shine and smoothness.
Long and Shiny
To achieve this look, Section your hair in the center and blow-dry straight with a hair-relaxing balm. After the hair is dry, work in a small amount of styling lotion with your fingers to smooth it out. Straighten the hair with a flat iron and finish with hair oil for added shine and smoothness. Keep your hair shiny and bright with a weekly dose of color-depositing shampoo. Using a good shampoo just once a week can counteract the effects of sunlight and color-fading.
