Formal Long Straight Hairstyles

A formal long straight hairstyle can be best described as elegant, structured, smooth and tailored looking. It’s a style that you could wear to special occasions such as weddings, proms and formal events. These hairstyles 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 Velcro rollers are used for root lift, and ceramic irons are used to help achieve extra body and hold.

Forward falling bangs were also added, which are great for hiding high hairlines. A feathery finish was added to the bangs to create a soft finish around Barbi's face.
