Formal Medium Straight Hairstyles

A formal medium straight hairstyle can best be described as tailored, neat and tidy and structured. These hairstyles vary from precision cuts to one length looks; from sliced razor-cuts to various layered styles. Formal medium straight hairstyles can take some time and effort to create. For extra body, styling products can be used to aid and assist shape (and durability) of the style. Other styling aids can be used to help with the final look, such as Velcro rollers for root lift and ceramic irons for extra body and hold.

Elizabeth Banks

Elizabeth Banks, at the LA premiere of Zack and Miri Make a Porno, had a classic hairstyle and looked like she stepped out of a time machine. Her once long and luscious locks were cropped short to sit at her jawline and soft subtle layers were cut through the front and sides to achieve a flawless shape. The top layers were blow-waved to create height and lift to the crown area. It's a great style for those with fine hair looking to add volume and body to their style.

Kate Walsh

Kate had all eyes on her great blunt-cut bob. Her length sat beautifully under her jaw line, showing off jagged layers worn over to one side. This simple hairdo is best suited to those with squarer faces because the length and front layers soften the jaw line.

Cheryl Cole, of British pop group Girls Aloud, had blunt and bold in mind when she asked to have her hair styled.
