If you need a little vacation from your ho-hum straight hair style, what you may be surprised to learn is that straight hair can be as versatile as its wavy, curly brethren. From traditional sleek, to bold and beautiful, here are a few of the top straight hair styles trending in 2024…

Looking to give your thin, straight hair a lift? For thicker hair with more volume and gorgeous, fluid movement, add some layers. Start below the chin with longer layers to lengthen a round face or flatter and flatter your features with shorter, face framing layers.

Prefer easy and edgy? Go short and messy with a textured cut and a little styling product. Add dramatic eye make-up for eye-catching appeal.

An asymmetric straight bob will provide an ultra-sleek, A-line look. 

Unleash your inner goddess with full or partial French braids, otherwise known as goddess hair.

If you’re going for hair with some straight-up attitude, try an urban straight pony – an extra-long high pony that will earn you a few turned heads and serious street cred. For a variation on this theme (because variation IS the theme here), change it up to long, straight hair combined with a top knot or use a curling wand and texturizer for subtle waves on the hair you leave down.

A beachy fishtail side braid goes hand-in-hand with summer fun. As does a sexy, messy bun for a lovely effortless look which will also keep you cool in the summer heat.

Add a smoothing serum to a blunt cut on long straight hair for a modern vibe. Regular trims and a flat iron will hone this look to a “T”. You can also add bangs and go shoulder length for this style, or shake things up a bit with a short, choppy, blunt cut.

And the eyes have it, as a long layered piecy cut with long bangs ending just above your lashes will draw attention to your eyes.

So, if you’re feeling uninspired by your straight hair, don’t. Make a statement. The professional hair stylists at Color Hair Studio in New Smyrna Beach are here to help.
