“Straight Hairstyles”

Description

A casual updo that is long and straight can be described as smooth, sleek, not over the top and simple. They range from smooth, flat gelled-down styles, to piecey face-framing looks. This type of hairstyle can be worn everyday at work, home, to the shops and even to important events and interviews. You could even wear it to formal functions if you're daring enough- proving it's a very versatile hairstyle.



Method

These types of updos are generally pinned, tied, teased, gelled, brushed smooth, and lacquered into place. Styling time varies depending on how much work is done to the hair, meaning it can be as little as 10 minutes or up to 45 minutes long.



Benefit

One of the biggest benefits of long straight updos (on naturally straight hair) is that they hold together well and last quite a long time. The reason is because moisture or wind do not enter the hair and collapse the style. These looks are also great for keeping the hair out of the eyes and off the face and, due to their simplicity, they allow clothing, jewellery and other elements to enjoy some attention. They can also be quick and easy to put together without needing a visit to the hairstylist.
