Formal Short Straight Hairstyles

A formal short straight hairstyle can best be described as neat and tidy, structured, in place and tailored. These hairstyles could be worn to special occasions such as weddings, proms or any important exclusive nights out. They include top-heavy one length looks, sliced razor-cuts, short layered styles, pixies, crops and precision cuts. Formal short straight hairstyles are still relatively quick to create, but they can require some effort. Styling products are used to aid and assist shape and durability of the style and add extra body. Other styling aids such as ceramic irons can be used to help straighten and achieve extra body and hold.

This was a new look for Selma Blair at the world premiere of Hell Boy II: The Golden Army. Usually she's got a short crop, but now that's grown into a classic bob that sits nicely at her jaw line.
