“Straight Hairstyles”
Description
A formal long straight updo can be best described as smooth, sleek, polished, tailored, high, graceful, and even interesting. These types of hairstyles vary greatly and include everything from top knots, French rolls, top twists, spanned-out wefts, to plaited braids and wraps. These types of hairstyles can be worn to any special event, important outing or function.
Method
Long straight updos need to be pinned, tied, teased, gelled, brushed smooth, and lacquered into place. Styling time varies depending on how much work is done, meaning it can be as little as 30 minutes up to 2 hours for intricate plaits and moulded buns etc.
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 or blow it free. These looks are great for keeping the hair out of the eyes and off the face and they also change your entire look completely from what you would normally look like.
