9 Types of Straight Haircuts for Women
1. Long Hair With Bangs
Long haircuts take a lot of work. They can easily look tired, drab, and boring without proper upkeep and maintenance. But adding bangs to the mix can work wonders. Bangs are a youthful, playful haircut that highlights your face and makes you look years younger. No plastic surgery is required! Bangs are best with hair that is long and straight. Add some styling cream to keep the bangs straight if your hair is frizzy. Adding a few layers to long hair gives bangs an even more dramatic and edgier look.
2. Neck-Length Bob
A bob is an elegant, classic look worn in many lengths and styles. The bob is one of the most popular types of straight hair haircuts for women because it has a timeless appeal, but it always gives the person who wears it a fresh, modern, and confident look. If you’re searching for a hair solution to give your long, lifeless locks a bit of pizzazz, the bob is it. For an even more dramatic look, ask your stylist to add a few highlights or polish your hair to give it a bit of extra shine and bounce when you leave the hair salon.
3. Long Platinum Blonde
If you have long hair that’s naturally blonde or even several shades of blond, going all-out blonde with platinum highlights might be just what your hair needs. Long blonde hair can be stunning, especially when well-maintained and shiny. The nice thing about a platinum blonde shade is that it gives you a natural look in the summertime, but it also adds a bit of glow and color to your post-summer look in the fall. You can even carry platinum’s sun-kissed look through to the wintertime. Giving some dimension to your roots adds alluring contrast and appeal to your lovely platinum color. Platinum can look stunning on short hair, but it’s an especially attractive look with long locks.
4. Precision Blunt Cut
For many people, the youthful look of long hair is canceled out because their hair is scraggly and thin. If this sounds like you, do not worry – help is here. The solution to your hair woes may lie in the Precision Blunt cut. This modern cut gives your hair a bit of layering to add volume without detracting from your hair’s natural, beautiful length. By removing the dead and fine hairs at the bottom, this cut leaves your hair looking younger, fresher, and more vivacious than ever before.
5. Asymmetrical Bowl Cut
You may have heard stories about bowl-cut hairdos in the past, but the reality is that they can be quite modern, sophisticated, and striking solutions to long hair. If you have long hair, adding asymmetrical layers to your locks adds dimension, sophistication, and flair. Ultimately, this can provide you with the boost of confidence that you’ve been looking for. A skilled hairstylist can accomplish an asymmetrical bob. This cut looks best on hair that is straight to mildly wavy. To keep up your bob at home, remember to straighten your hair with an iron and apply a cream to keep frizz and curls at bay. When you use the hair straightener, use low heat to avoid damage.
6. Straight Lob
A straight lob is another hairstyle that can give long hair a nice, clean, modern look. The lob is similar to a bob, except it doesn’t have as many layers and dimensions. It can be a great choice if you’re used to long hair and not sure you’re ready for a full bob. A lob gives you a bit of asymmetry to make your hair look livelier and more sophisticated. You can choose to add bangs to this hairstyle if you wish for a more unique look. The added advantage of a lob over a bob is that it leaves your hair long enough to tie it back if you’re working out or outside on a hot summer day.
7. Geometric
Another great hairstyle for long hair is the geometric design. The geometric pattern gives your hair a sleek, shiny, and healthy look while cleaning up its appearance. In this unique hairstyle, the hair on the forehead and along the sides is held back by a small elastic hairband that goes behind the hair at the back of your neck. Ultimately, this helps to add volume to your hair without making it look frizzy and unruly. This hairstyle is a great choice if you’re looking for a subtle change to your long hair, as it adds a bit of dimension without detracting from your hair’s original shape and style.
8. Long and Sleek
Sometimes, if you have long hair, you want to keep it that way. That decision is, of course, respectable. But if you let your hair grow naturally, still put in a little effort to keep it looking its best. Between the wind, chemicals, sun, and other factors, your long hair can ultimately lose its shine and luster. If this happens, long hair can easily look thin and scraggly, but it only takes a little attention to turn it around. Using products like a smoothing cream and leave-in conditioner can make your hair look fuller, less frizzy, and healthier when you choose to wear it in its natural glory.
9. Hair Extensions
If you’re starting with long hair, another option is hair extensions. Hair extensions vary widely in terms of color, price, and longevity. Some hair extensions are designed to last for little more than a few days, while others can last for several months. Hair extensions require a consultation with your hairstylist to decide which type is best for you. The advantage of hair extensions is that they can instantly add dimension, color, and intrigue to your hair that you might not naturally have. Extensions are available in various colors to match or change your look.
Embrace the Sleek Look
The easiest way to style straight hair is to adopt a sleek look. This is ideal for medium or long hair. The sleek look with the middle part is trendy right now, but you can opt for a part on the side if you feel that this is more flattering. The length allows you to try different things with colors, such as a balayage. The advantage of the sleek look is that styling your hair only takes a few minutes!
Add Some Texture with Choppy Locks
If you like texture and a shorter hairstyle, choppy locks are a fun way to style your straight hair. This look would be ideal for a shoulder-length cut. You can easily pair it with bangs or with highlights. You can easily achieve the perfect choppy locks style by creating short and long layers. This style is very easy to adapt to your style since you can choose where the short and long layers will be. You can, for instance, create a more original version of the choppy locks looks by creating asymmetrical layers.
Try the Short Bob
The bob is not a traditional straight women hairstyle. However, a short bob can look very glamorous with straight hair. The key is to add a good volumizing product and to play with different lengths. Your straight hair is going to naturally frame your face, and this is something you should take into consideration when choosing the length of the layers.
Focus on The Tips
If you like long hair, look for a way to make the tips more interesting. There are many ways to create something visually stand out; you can mix and match different things. Some highlights, such as a balayage, curls, waves, or even a feathered effect, could be good ways to complement your sleek hair. If you want something more discreet, use a blow dryer to add a slight bend to the tips.
Create A Bouncy Blowout
You can easily create a blowout at home with a blow dryer and some styling products. This is a skill you should master so you can easily add volume to your hair. You can create a blowout and wear your hair for a bouncy result or style your hair in a more sophisticated updo after adding some volume. This would be a perfect style for a night out!
Ponytails, Braids and Buns
One of the advantages of straight hair is that you can easily create a ponytail or a bun without having to worry about your hair getting loose. Braids are another fun and chic way to style your hair, and the best part is that you will get some waves the next day!
Any Color
Straight hair works for any color, and you’ll find any color in straight styles – whether blonde, brunette, auburn, sandy, or otherwise.
