Straight Hair From Hollywood

One way to know what's hot and what's not when it comes to currently fashionable hairstyles, you simply will have to look at Hollywood celebrities. In the previous years curled, wavy hair was the fad. Now the trend is slowly reverting to hairstyles sporting sleek, straight hair.

There are a number of famous Hollywood stars that now maintain beautiful straight hair. This isn't surprising since the current fashion is saying that less is more; the simpler is your look, the better. Curls and waves are gorgeous of course, but straight hair gives a more youthful look. This is perhaps why more and more celebrities are taking out their hairstraighteners once again.

Kate Hudson is one of those celebrities who we usually see with straight hair. She has beautiful, naturally straight blond hair. It really suits her bubbly, playful personality and gives her a girl-next-door image. There are of course several of her movies wherein she has wavy or curly hair but it is of less frequency than when she has her hair straight. In her recent movie "Bride Wars" alongside Anne Hathaway, she has long straight hair with bangs.

Famous icons from the music industry have made a trend with straight hair as well. Foremost at the moment is Lady Gaga. She sang the immensely famous party starters "Pokerface", "Let's Dance", "Paparazzi",and many more. She is undoubtedly a standout with her rather eccentric fashion taste and music videos. Lady Gaga's hairstyles are kind of odd, but in a cool, fashionably way. Even though she piles up her long platinum hair with large accents and other styles, her normal hairstyle is kept long and straight with bangs.

Before Lady Gaga, the hair fashion industry went gaga over Rihanna's novel pixie-cut hairstyle. Having debuted her unique hairstyle in the music video "Umbrella", short, straight hair is now Rihanna's trademark look. Whether she cuts it as short as a boy's or at shoulder length that's longer in front, she keeps her hair shiny and straight. Her hairstyle is still in very high demand by women of all ages.

One of the benefits of having straight hair is that you can play with it to have a young, playful hairstyle, and you can also work it to look formal and glamorously sophisticated. Megan Fox for example looked very sexy and elegant in the 2008 MTV Movie Awards. She swept up her hair and combed it with gel all the way back, showing off her great bone structure. In a similar yet milder version(sans the gel), Amy Adams did the same thing during the premiere of her movie "Julie & Julia". Anne Hathaway look both young and classy during the 4th Annual Critics' Choice Awards with her neatly styled shoulder-length straight hair.

What's important to remember if you want to get a formal and sophisticated look with straight hair is that besides wearing the right clothes, you have to be poised and carry yourself well. Perhaps the perfect example of this is Catherine Zeta-Jones. She has very beautiful straight hair and when she lets it down, she simply looks lovely. With her poise and natural beauty, Catherine Zeta-Jones is the epitome of elegance.
