6 occasions to wear sassy & cute hairstyles for straight hair
Work: Straight and sophisticated
Want to make the daily grind a little more stylish? Sure you do! This Instagrammer’s super sleek, straightened style screams #bossbabe and will help give you the boost you need to walk into that client meeting with confidence.
To recreate the blowout effect, use a curling wand to curl the front layers of your hair inwards towards your face, while keeping the rest of the look perfectly straight. It’ll give your style an expensive, salon-fresh look without the painful price tag. Credit: @youbelonghere
Editor’s tip: Spritz your strands with a fine misting of the TIGI S Factor Flat Iron Shine Spray before you run the straighteners through your hair.
This heat defender will limit heat damage and give your locks a luxuriously lustrous shine. Oh and it smells just like those fruit salad sweeties, too, which is never a bad thing!
Spin class: Upside down braid
Gym bunny? Spin class is a sweat fest but don’t think that means you can’t still look good! This pretty upside down braided ponytail is ideal for keeping your hair off of your neck during those sprint sessions and you can go grab your post-workout juice looking put together. Credit: @hairbydreeze
Date night: Half up crown braid
For flirty date night straight hair styles, add braids to a half-up style. You can keep things simple with a regular 3 strand braid, or go wild with French or fishtail variations.
Whatever plaiting style you decide to go for though, remember to pancake your braids by pulling gently on them from either side to make them look fuller – essential for those with fine hair! Credit: @vasti.hair
Shopping: Half up bun
Hairstyles for fine straight hair don’t have to be anything too elaborate, so if you’re off for a spot of shopping, keep things low key with this off-duty half-up top knot. It’ll add detail and height to your top layers (especially handy if you’re concerned about flat hair), and it’s as easy as twisting the top section of your hair into a messy bun.
No mad skills required and you’ll still look like you’ve made the effort while you’re perusing the ‘New In’ section of Topshop. Credit: @beauavis
Editor’s tip: Before you tie your top knot, spray some of the TONI&GUY Instant Refresh Dry Shampoo into your roots.
Work it into your hair to soak up any excess oils, then use a comb to gently backcomb to create more volume. That way, when you style your half-up bun, you’ll have a more amped-up style.
Drinks with the girls: Low bun
Heading out for some cocktails with your BFFs? The low bun is a fashion bloggers’ dream and it just so happens to be one of our go-to evening hairstyles for fine straight hair. For a sleeker look, use a tail comb to create a centre parting straight down the middle of your hair.
Oh, and don’t let your good hair day go to waste, remember to get your friends to take a candid photo of you at the bar for the ‘gram! Credit: @vanessakawali
Brunch: Milkmaid braid
When was the last time you wore an updo? Your prom? A friend’s wedding? Updos are fantastic hairstyles for straight fine hair as they eliminate the worry of your hair looking weighed down by the lengths. So, why not make the most of the extra time at the weekend and give it a try for brunch?
We love how it looks when a few piecey strands are left hanging loose around the face for a soft, girly look, so do try that. And for added interest, milkmaid braids are particularly great for beginners as it’s essentially just 2 pigtail plaits clipped together on top of your head! More mimosas, please… Credit: @victoriafriend
