11 Ways You Can Style Your Hair Even If It’s Straight As Stick

Every morning before I set out for work, I have a mourning session for about 2 minutes. I mourn about the fact that no matter what I do with my hair, whichever way I style it or whatever new accessory I put on it, it will just come off in about an hour.

I have that kind of straight hair that most women visit salons regularly to get. I have gotten both envious looks and comments on my hair, with people telling me how lucky I am. As if! Little did they know how I abhor my hair at times, and how in most of my childhood photos I look like a porcupine. Luckily, I found these hairstyles for straight hair which might help you too, if you have the fate of having stick straight hair like me!

1. The French roll

This simple yet super elegant hairstyle is perfect for work, especially if you want to impress new clients in a meeting or want to maintain a mysterious aura about yourself.

 

2. The low messy bun

Once you have made a low ponytail, you can tweak with it to turn it into this simple yet beautiful messy bun. Added perk, it adds volume to your hair. Such a win-win situation.

 

3. The braid bun

This braid bun is the perfect way to add loads of volume and class to your straight hair. Once you’re done making the braids out of the ponytails, you just have to twist them around each other to make the bun and pin it, to make it stay in its place.

 

4. The side ponytail

If you’re running really late for work then go straight (no pun intended) for this hairdo. Instead of the regular ponytail at the nape of your neck, make it sideways, then take a strand and wrap it around the hair tie to cover it. Finally, use a bobby pin to secure loose ends; there you go, red carpet ready.

 

5. The knotted half updo

For this super simple hairdo, all you need to do is take two strands of hair from front after you’ve brushed your hair, then create a knot at the back. Repeat the knot to create a double knot and secure it with bobby pins.

 

6. The braided headband

Want that look of Jennifer Aniston? This hairstyle takes about 5 minutes to make, and yet looks just perfect. Here’s a tutorial to help you.

 

7. Another braid hairband

For this super chick hairstyle, all you need to do is take a small section of your hair from one of the sides, make a thin braid, pull the braid to the other side of the head and pin it. Tease your hair a bit for some added volume, and you’re ramp ready!

 

8. The bouffant ponytail

This bouffant ponytail is not only classy, it also makes your thin hair voluminous and beautiful. Add some red lipstick and you’re good to go!

 

9. The bouffant half do

Or instead of the ponytail, once you’ve teased your hair and got that bouffant shape, you can take loose strands of hair from either side of your face and pin them in a crisscross manner at the back.

 

10. The Mini Mouse bow

Now this baby is a bit hard to do, but once you’re done, this super cute hairdo wouldn’t leave any space for you to regret. Dress up in floral or pastel, you just can’t go wrong with this style.

 

11. Flowing curly hair

Finally, if you’re seriously bored of your straight hair too much, just go for a quick curl. Instead of these steps, you can just wet your hair with water or put some hairspray, and then braid them. Then keep it like that for some time and once you open them, you’ll have natural curls flowing down your shoulders.

I hope these were helpful for you if you share my woes. I sure as hell ain’t going to my cousin’s wedding with just hair-brushed-and-left-open now! 🙂
