After showing you different hairstyles for curly hair and some tutorials to make some hairstyles quickly and easily, today we want to focus on straight hair and the best hairstyles to focus on based on your tastes, but also taking into account the occasions of use.

HELMET HAIR STYLE

The problem with straight hair is that they tend not to have a good hold, unless you get specific fixing products that allow you to keep the hairstyle intact at least for the whole day.

Let's start with a seemingly complex hairstyle but nevertheless simple to achieve. The base, as you can see, is a short bob  enhanced by a fake high chignon . A perfect hairstyle for those with angular features because this hairstyle frames the face. 

HAIR COLLECTION WITH SIDE BRAID

The crop  always has a more formal aspect so it is linked, at least generically, to occasions of use that require a certain dress code. In short, the collected hair is one of the traditional ceremonial hairstyles, but this does not necessarily mean that they have a classic, tight and rigorous look.

The hairstyle you see in the photo, as you can see, is soft, natural and disheveled and benefits from the charm of the side braid , which is now literally a cult. 

ELEGANT SIDE BRAID TUTORIAL

The braid now shows off on many occasions because it is one of those hairstyles that lends itself to any occasion of use, just make it more formal or more disheveled in relation to your needs. From work to the gym, from free time to the ceremony, let's see step by step how to make a side braid , which we can rest on the shoulder or collect it on the head. 

Comb your hair well making sure you have dissolved any knots and tangles;

Divide the hair into two parts and start braiding a part starting from the top of the head and leaving the tuft free;

As you weave the hair starting from the forehead, continue weaving all the hair more or less at the nape of the neck;

Stop the braid with an elastic and try to pull some strands to make it softer and less dense;

Use a hair curler to wave the tuft or fringe.

BRAID ON ONE SIDE ON SMOOTH HAIR

The side braid can have different sizes, you can decide whether to collect the entire hair or focus on a more natural hairstyle perfect for those who prefer to keep their hair loose. In this case you can enhance the hairstyle with a small braid that frames the face on one side only, in the version with classic weave or knotted as we show you in this tutorial .

 

 

 

HAIR WITH BOW

Here is a slightly different crop from the usual ones, a sort of double chignon that actually has the shape of a bow. A cheeky and witty hairstyle that also fits well with a more refined evening look. 

This hairstyle can also be made by those with very straight hair , the important thing is to rely on the right products for the hairstyle.

HOW TO MAKE A TAIL WITH A BOW

L ' hairstyle with bow  you like? Here is a little tutorial to enhance a very simple hairstyle, like a tail, gathered with a hair bow. 

Brush your hair and collect them laterally by tying them with an elastic;

Take a lock and, using a slightly smaller elastic, create a small buttonhole;

Do the same thing on the other side, using the length of the lock to cover the elastic;

To secure the bow securely to the tail, use a hairpin.

SOPHISTICATED SMOOTH HAIR COLLECTION

This is definitely a more sophisticated and more sophisticated hairstyle, a twist-style crop that requires expert hands and a lot of hairspray. Ideal for those with straight hair, but aiming for the charm of a showy and deliberately voluminous hairstyle. 

 

 

 

 

STYLING SMOOTH HAIR FOR CEREMONY

Another crop for straight hair , a hairstyle that is certainly more sober and natural than the previous one. The hair was collected and fixed using some hairpins, and finally some fabric flowers were added to enhance the hairstyle.

COMBING LONG SMOOTH HAIR

There are collected and collected. Showy hairstyles and hairstyles seemingly more natural long straight hair, even if there is still a painstaking work behind it. Even these two hairstyles, very similar to each other, are the result of intertwining locks fixed on each other to create a cocoon-style hairstyle. 

COLLECTION OF MEDIUM LENGTH HAIR

The longer the hair, the greater the chances even when we rely on a common crop. But it is clear that even if you do not have a considerable length of hair, you can still create amazing hairstyles, just like the one you see in the picture. This hairstyle is also ideal for those with basically short hair, just backcomb the locks a little more. 

TORCHON BRAID

A perfect hairstyle to keep unruly hair at bay. It looks like a braid but it's not quite, which is why it's often referred to as a twos or twist braid . Making it is very simple, just collect the hair in a horse thing and divide it into two strands to twist on themselves. 

 

 

 

 

LOW TAIL WITH BRAIDS

Still an alternative if you love braids. On the left a strategically disheveled low side braid , on the right a very simple hairstyle that intertwines the two main strands with an additional braid. 

DOUBLE FISH BRAID BRAIDS

This is undoubtedly a hairstyle for leisure. A practical, young and cheeky hairstyle that exploits the charm of herringbone braids to create a very rural style hairstyle. 

ELEGANT EVENING HAIRSTYLES

For the day the natural and disheveled hairstyles are a cult, but in the evening and on all those occasions that require a certain elegance it is almost essential to focus on a crop or a semi- collected , biting the hair and fixing it with invisible pins. Both of these hairstyles are showy yet refined.

 

 

 

 

TUTORIAL TAIL WITH ELASTICS

It looks like a braid and instead it's a tail. Here is a strategy to disguise the classic ponytail that in some cases can even prove boring. Here's how to make the tail with rubber bands.

A little further down, tie your hair further with an elastic and try to untangle the tail by pulling the hair through the second elastic;

Apply the other elastic and repeat the same operation. You will end up with a tail that looks more like a braid. 

 

 

 

 

LOW CHIGNON WITH BRAIDS

These two hairstyles combine two of the most popular hairstyles, in practice first the hair is braided and then collected in a chignon , more or less low, more or less central. To you the choice. 

CROWN WITH BRAID AND FRENCH BRAID

They call it a French braid because rather than starting from the nape, like the most common one, it is a braid that starts from the top of the head. In these images you can see two different examples, on the right a braided crop in the center, on the left a hairstyle for loose hair finished with a crown of braids . Obviously, the longer the hair, the more eye-catching the effect, but nothing prevents you from applying fake braids on the head, as if it were a headband or a headband. 

SIMPLE AND ORIGINAL HAIRSTYLES

Simple but very elegant, these hairstyles can also be achieved without the help of a hairdresser, just create two or more torchon and braid the already rolled locks. In the photo two different versions of the same hairstyle. 

ORDERED BRAID AND SPECTINATED BRAIDS

Still further interpretations of the same hairstyle but with a particularity: in this case the braids are very backcombed , an effect that you may like or not. Undoubtedly such a hairstyle, even if it is a crop, has a less formal aspect.

DIAGONAL FRENCH BRAID
