Lets Get This Straight : Four Hairstyles for Straight Hair

Naturally straight hair will always be a beauty do.  Nevertheless, you may be wondering: what can I do with it?  It looks great down, but then it gets so old! Although you may not realize it now, you’re very lucky to have straight hair - but you aren’t alone if it drives you crazy.

Straight hair and bangs – especially side bangs – always look awesome.  While this is a pretty bold move, especially if you have never had bangs, you won’t regret it.  Talk with your hairstylist, and ask her/him what type of bangs will look best on you.  Bangs will make your straight locks look like a completely new hairstyle

Headbands are the most simple yet fabulous way to fix up that boring straight hairstyle.  They come in many different sizes, designs and colors and are especially great for that I-have-to-get-ready-quick style.  You can wear them so they push back all of your hair, or you can wear them with a bit of hair left out (like those brand-new bangs!).  

Straight hair ponytails are great for casual activities, like mini-golfing or going to the movies and are super-helpful on hot summer days.  They can be made really chic, especially if you make them high and tight or to the side.  However, if you aren’t a pigtail-fan, don’t be afraid to add a headband or a tie a bow out of ribbon (like cheerleaders do).  It will add a little oomph to your ponytail and make you look casual and cute.

The front poof has been around for a while now.  From Lauren Conrad’s high school style to today’s more modern Snooki version, the poof isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.   Many people like to take their bangs and make the poof right up front.  It can be made little, big, short, or high.  It can be worn with your straight hair down, or your straight hair up in a ponytail.  If you are over the front poof, try pulling a Snooki.  She leaves hair down in the front, and makes the poof a little farther back.  It is the 2010 version, and many people are doing it.  Snookie’s poof looks best if you leave your hair down, but don’t be afraid to mess around and find another way to make it work. 

Half up half down is a classic hairstyle, especially for lucky gals with straight hair.  It is an easy style to do, and there are numerous versions of the style that can be pulled off.  If you have bangs you can leave them down, put them in the ponytail, or give them a classy poof.  If no bangs, you can leave a few pieces left out on the sides, or even curl the hair left down.  Half up/half down will never fail you – it can be worn day or night!

Even though you may not know it now, you are so lucky to have straight hair.  It can be a pain to style, but curly hair, thin hair, and thick hair are all the same way.  Your straight locks are something that many people wish they could have, so embrace your luckiness!  These five style tips should really help you figure out ways to get your straight hair to work for you.  Also, don’t be afraid to change-up the way you part your hair.  It can do wonders if you just want to wear your hair down.

So go ahead, try these styles and show the world how beautiful your straight locks are!
