While beachy textured hair seems to be having a fashion moment, for those of us who haven’t been able to leave the straighteners alone, there are plenty of celebs on the red carpet who have proven why sleek hair will never go out of fashion.
Straight hair instantly looks chic and glossy and, for the celebs, they know that smooth straight hair will always be a catwalk winner. So much so that Ashley Greene, Gossip Girl’s Blake Lively, JoJo and Cameron Diaz have all been seen with glossy straight manes on the red carpet recently.
At the recent Teen choice awards Blake Lively kept her long blonde hair simple by pulling the top layers off her face and keeping the rest smooth and chic. Meanwhile Ashley Greene kept her brunette hair down, the whole style was very straight and sleek but ultra glam at the same time. What’s more, the look has also been seen on the catwalks, with long straight hair being shown at the Elie Saab S/S 2011 show.
The other great thing about the style is that it is so easy to achieve with just a hair dryer and a pair of hair straighteners from ghd.
Once you have washed your hair, it is really important to use a heat protection spray as the key to this style is glossy hair and for that you need it to be in tip top condition. Then blow dry your hair with a paddle brush to get it as smooth as possible. But to give the hair a real celeb wow factor you need to run straighteners through it to make the hair really straight and glossy. Simply run the straighteners smoothly through your hair, but don’t clamp them too tightly as you don’t want to snag the hair (although with ghds they will run smoothly through your hair anyway). Finish with a spritz of hairspray and you are ready to go. It really is that simple to get gorgeous Hollywood worthy hair, so there really is no excuse not to go straight and glossy. It can also work on most hair lengths as well, so it a truly versatile look.
