How stunning does Gwyneth Paltrow look with this hairstyle!? Straight hair is a great way for you to style your hair for your formal events. The highlights in her hair are also great because they are natural-looking and yet they still lightening up her hair which is nice. Make sure that you use product on your hair before you straighten it. It is going to help protect your hair from damage being caused by the hair iron. You are going to need to cut your hair once every 4 weeks or so to ensure that your ends stay healthy and that the color sticks better to your ends. It would be best to touch up your color once every 6 weeks or so to ensure that the color stays vibrant and that your roots do not start to show too much.
Makeup-wise, you are going to want to keep things simple and natural. Look for your golds and browns for your eyes and then a nude or pastel colored lip. Finish off your look by highlights and contouring your face and neck area and you are good to go!

Styling Steps
1. Part the Middle
Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your nose and then drag the comb straight up slowly until you reach your hairline and then continue back in a straight manner to achieve an even middle part. A middle part is a great way to make small, round face shapes appear longer and thinner.
2. Apply Straightening Balm
Squeeze a small amount of straightening balm into your palms and then rub your hands together before smoothing the product evenly through damp hair.
3. Use a Straightening Iron
When straightening your hair, first make sure that your hair is completely dry. Then, section your hair off starting from the back/nape using a comb. Straighten your hair starting from the roots and working your way down to the ends using your comb as your guide. Make sure not to leave the straightening iron in one spot for more than 3 seconds.

4. Apply Hairspray
To finish, apply a minimal amount of hairspray from an arms length distance to the top, sides and back. Take care not to use too much or you will end up with a white, flaky residue which looks like dandruff.
