30 Best Hairstyles for Straight Hair in 2022

Feeling uninspired by your stick-straight locks? Never fear! Nothing is boring about straight hair. In fact, straight hair can be as versatile and stylish as its wavy or curly counterparts. From ultra-sleek to artfully undone, make your straight strands stand out from the crowd with these gorgeous hairstyles.

1. Straight Layered Hair

Layers are a great way to give dead-straight hair some volume and movement. Straight hair can look limp and lifeless – particularly if it’s long and fine. So, by cutting in layers, your stylist can create the illusion of thicker, bouncier hair that frames your face in a more flattering way.

2. Straight Hair with Butterfly Clips

Embrace the ’90s trend with cute butterfly clips! There are a wide variety of styles you can create with these accessories. However, one of the best options for straight hair is a half-up, half-down look. By teasing the hair at the crown and adding clips on the top, you’ll create the illusion of more volume as well as look cool. Plus, the teasing will give the clips something to ‘grip,’ as straight hair tends to be smoother and more slippery than curly hair.

3. Urban Ponytail Hairstyle

Classy yet full of attitude, the urban ponytail hairstyle combines a super-sleek, extra-long high ponytail with brushed baby hairs. If you have naturally straight hair, use a flat iron to ensure flyaways are minimized. Add extra-long extensions for a statement look and team with glam make-up to ensure you turn heads on the city streets.

4. Blonde Goddess Braids

Blonde hair is a perfect match for braids of any kind, as the multiple tones in this hair color give the braids even more dimension. While most are familiar with goddess braids for natural Afro-textured hair, there is a version of these braids for straight blonde hair. Straight hair goddess braids are French braids or Dutch braids plaited from front to back. While they follow traditional cornrows‘ classic direction, they are not as tight or raised, as cornrowing can cause breakage on straight hair.

5. Undercut with Ponytail

For the more daring straight-haired ladies, an undercut is a bold look that can be styled in many different and eye-catching ways. One great option is an undercut paired with a ponytail. A high pony draws attention to your undercut while softening it playfully. Add a scrunchie for a cute ’90s vibe, or keep it simple with a clear hair-tie for a cool ‘topknot’ effect.

6. Long Straight Hair with Layers

Layers are a great way to make your long, straight hair more flattering to your face shape in a subtle way. They start below the chin and softly graduate into longer lengths will make your face look longer and more defined – perfect for round face shapes. Layers that fall away from your face – rather than curving in – are great for softening a triangular face. Layers throughout your long straight hair will also help make it look thicker and less flat.

7. Dark Green Asymmetric Bob

An asymmetric bob – also called an A-line bob or inverted bob – is a classic hairstyle that’s particularly flattering on rounder faces. Super straight and sleek hair means the graduated line of your haircut is even more visible and eye-catching. If you already have a sleek asymmetric bob, try shaking up the color – dark green is one of the biggest trends, and you can adapt the shade to suit your skin tone.

8. Short Messy Spikes

Short, messy spikes aren’t just for the boys! For ladies with cropped straight hair, this textured, edgy look is a standout option. Easy to style for day or night, it also works for both fine and thick hair. The key is to make your spikes look intentionally messy, and ‘undone’ – uniform spikes can make you look like a cartoon character!

“aligncenter size-full wp-image-273802″ alt=”Short Messy Spikes” width=”455″ height=”600″ data-lazy- src=”https://www.tipsclear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/1661259036_767_30-Best-Hairstyles-for-Straight-Hair-in-2022.jpg”/>
 

9. Fishtail Side Braids

Fishtail braids pair perfectly with straight hair. That is because straight hair sections are easier to separate and plait, while there’s no natural curl or wave pattern ‘competing’ with the braid. Beachy and bohemian, fishtail side braids look equally good at a summer festival or under a hat in the cooler months. Even better, they are some of the easiest braids to create!

10. Blunt Long Hair

While layers are often advised if you have long hair that’s straight and fine, thick hair can look fantastic with a blunt cut. Blunt cuts have a very modern, editorial vibe that makes them stand out from the crowd – so if that sounds like your style, consider it! Make sure to straighten your hair and apply a smoothing serum, and have regular trims to keep your locks free of split ends, uneven growth, and flyaways, which can ruin the blunt edge of your cut.

 
“aligncenter size-full wp-image-273804″ alt=”Blunt Long Hair” width=”455″ height=”600″ data-lazy- src=”https://www.tipsclear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/1661259040_615_30-Best-Hairstyles-for-Straight-Hair-in-2022.jpg”/>

11. Messy Bun

While it’s often fun to lean into the sleek and smooth finish of straight hair, a messy bun is a great way to introduce some texture and is perfect for brunch, a casual date, or class. However, it’s a fine line between stylishly messy and unkempt, so make sure you pay attention to the details. Use a brush to gather your locks up, and twist a section of your hair around the base of the bun to make it look seamless. Finally, spritz a little hairspray onto an old toothbrush and smooth it over the non-messy section to keep flyaways and frizz at bay.

 
“aligncenter size-full wp-image-273806″ alt=”Messy Bun” width=”455″ height=”600″ data-lazy- src=”https://www.tipsclear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/1661259042_598_30-Best-Hairstyles-for-Straight-Hair-in-2022.jpg”/>

13. 90s Bob with Fringe and Butterfly Clips

Cute, playful, and ultra-feminine, butterfly clips add a quirky touch to even the simplest hairstyle, like a fringed bob haircut. The key to adapting this classic ’90s look for 2020 is to pair it with on-trend make-up, like pink blush and glossy lips, and then contrast it with edgier fashion – think all black or streetwear. Think of it as the subtle version of the e-girl style.

At the same time, leaving the rest of your hair loose creates a flattering frame for your face, keeping the focus on your features. To make this style work on straight hair, use a curling wand to create a subtle wave and add a texturizing spray, so it’s not too sleek.

Part your hair in the middle and create two pigtails. Then twist each one around itself to create the buns. For a fun twist, you can combine your space buns with braids. To make them more even more flattering, leave some pieces free at the front to frame your face.

27. Rubber Band Hairstyle

While most rubber band hairstyles are for Afro-textured hair, there are some options for straight hair too. One of the most eye-catching and dramatic is a bubble ponytail. After sweeping your hair in a sleek high pony, secure ‘rubber bands’ – that is, small, thin, strong-hold hair elastics – at intervals down the length of your hair. Then, gently pull each section sideways to create the ‘bubble’ effect.

A top bun is a versatile option when it comes to styling straight hair. You can create a gorgeous and glamorous look for a night out or a more casual option for the day.

29. Straight Blunt Hair with Bangs

Blunt bangs are a timeless haircut that’s ideal for thick, straight hair. The fringe’s heaviness hides a large forehead and is also very flattering on those with longer faces. That is because it balances the proportions and puts the emphasis on your features, like your cheekbones and lips. Embrace the retro appeal of the cut by pairing it with ’60s-inspired make-up and fashion.

As a result, it’s perfect for square and round faces.
