Straight hair offers a range of stylish and easy-to-manage haircuts. This is not only true for adults, there are plenty of cool haircut options for young little boys with straight hair too.

To have an idea of what hairstyles would suit a little boy with straight hair, keep on reading this article to see some of the best haircuts that are in trend these days.

Haircuts for Little Boy with Straight Hair

In this article, you will find some charming straight haircuts for little boys. You can try these styles on your kid’s hair for their next haircut.

1. Ivy League Haircut With Messy Top

short spiky hairstyle for little boy with straight hair

Little boys with straight hair can do so much to create height and volume. First, it is ideal to choose a haircut that matches their face shape.

You can opt for an Ivy League cut with short hair on the sides and a slightly longer top that you can style with a little bit of hair gel. He’ll love looking this fancy!

2. Layered Medium Cut with Bangs

A rounded shape for the bangs with a layered trim that continues on the temples and sides will make the hairstyle look smooth.

Because the hair is straight, it will naturally fall the way it’s trimmed. If your little guy loves colors, you can use hair chalk to nuance his bangs or semi-permanent hair dye.

3. Asian Trim with Side Razored Design

Most of the time, Asian guys have flat black hair. So one of the cutest hairstyles for little boys with straight hair can be a short trim with a no. 3 guard and a longer top.

To make the hairstyle look less ordinary, you can create two lines, using a razor pen.

4. Sleek Side Swoop

high and tight haircut for little boy with straight hair

When it comes to children, as they get older, their hair gains thickness and volume. While hair threads have that fluffy aspect, you can opt for a short trim on the sides and a longer top.

If he wants that gentlemanly look, then you can use some gel to gain that sleek appearance and comb the hair to the side.

5. Long Layered Hair

Once your little one’s hair starts growing, you might not feel the urge to cut it. But you will have to trim the ends occasionally or give it a shape.

So opt for a medium-long haircut with layers in front and long bangs. If the fringe gets in the way, you can lift it and toss it back, securing it with bobby pins or a hair elastic.

6. Sleek Comb

Sleek looks can be easily achieved if your little guy has a simple hairstyle for straight hair. With short sides and back and longer top hair, this look requires a wide-tooth comb and hair gel.

Comb the bangs towards the forehead and the side to the back.

7. Straight Hair Swiped to the Side

Layers go hand in hand with long top pieces. You can opt for a bowl cut, which is a pretty common haircut for a young man.

If you don’t want to style it with curtain bangs, you can messily flip those bangs to one side, creating a messy, rebellious vibe.

8. Rubber Method Braids

funky hairstyle for little boy with straight hair

Hairstyles that involve too many rubber bands can be damaging to anyone’s hair, especially your child. That happens because they tend to pluck out threads when removing them. But that doesn’t mean they don’t look dashing!

To create such a hairstyle, part the top into rows, then section each row and tie those locks with rubber bands. If you don’t want to ruin your kids’ hair, you might consider cutting those pieces of rubber for easy removal.

9. Diagonal Design On Sides

If your little guy has straight ginger hair, why not make it look cooler with a side design?

Choose a haircut with a slightly longer top, that is short on the sides and back. Using a razor pen, draw three diagonal lines in the temple area and over the ear.

10. Front Edge Spikes with Tapered Undercut

This haircut is for that little boy with blonde straight hair who is too naughty and wants to look super-cool and feel the best amongst their friends.  The top hair is cut into layers and made into a faux Mohawk while the sides have been taper faded into an undercut.

11. Front Fringes in Straight Ginger Hair

Ginger-haired kids are considered to be one of the most adorable little boys out there. Their shy nature and behavior plus the haircut are what add up to their innocence.

Gingerheads who have straight hair can go for fringes over the forehead with a nice side-parting and the rest of the hair staying neatly in place.

12. The Classic Side-Swept Cut

If you’re a black man with straight hair and looking for simple yet great styles to try, we’ve got news for you!

We’re about to show you 25 straight haircuts and styles you can copy, even if your hair isn’t naturally straight.

How to Straighten Hair for Black Men

Straightening your hair as a Black man can be challenging. However, all it takes to achieve the perfect look is a quality straightening iron and proper technique. To get the perfect straight-haired look without damaging your hair, follow these steps. 

Prep Your Hair

Prep your hair by shampooing and conditioning it. It is best to straighten your hair the day after a fresh wash.

Apply a smoothing balm or serum to your hair. Avoid using oils before the straightening process so you don’t burn your hair. 

Coat hair with a heat protectant spray once it has dried, then thoroughly brush your hair to detangle and de-knot. You do not want any knots when you straighten your hair

Section Your Hair and Prep Your Iron

Next, section your hair into even sections. This will make it easier to straighten. Heat your iron to the proper setting. 

As a general rule, lower heat is best for fine hair, and higher heat is best for thick hair. Start with a medium setting, lowering or raising the temperature as needed. 

Straighten Your Hair Slowly and Carefully

Once the prep work is complete, begin straightening your hair. Start with the back of the head and work up.

This ensures you reach all the sections easily without missing one or using the iron on a section multiple times. 

Think of it like ironing clothing. Use a gentle hand and move carefully to straighten the hair fully. Repeat this process until all of your hair is straight. 

Using a No-Lye Relaxer Instead of Heat Tools

Heat tools are a great option, but the results only last as long as you do not get your hair wet. Using a no-lye relaxer is a good option for longevity.

Be sure to follow the instructions on the product or go to a hair stylist who specializes in relaxers for the best effect.

Hottest Straight Hairstyles for Black Men

These are the top 25 straight hairstyles for Black men.

1. Long Top with Fade

short straight hair for black men

This short straightened top is great for Black men with thick hair. Since the sides feature a high fade, all you’ll have to do for styling is straighten your hair and spritz with a little product for hold.

2. Shoulder-Length Straight Hair

long straight hair for black men

Do you prefer to keep your long hair or want to switch up your short hair and try a longer look? This shoulder-length haircut features simple straightened locks. It’s a stylish, sleek, and low-maintenance choice for Black men.

3. Smoothed Back with Undercut

When heading out for the evening and needing a slick style, straighten your hair and smooth it back. Whether you pair this look with a fade or not, you’ll love the admiring looks it gets.

4. Extra Long Straight Ponytail

Are you all about the drama when it comes to your hair? Feel like a red carpet star with extra long straightened hair. This Black men’s style is all glam when secured in a low ponytail.

5. Straight Hair with Strong Waves

black men with straight hair

Waves are extremely common amongst straight hairstyles for men, simply because it’s very common for your hair to have a little wave at the tip as it reaches down to your neck.

All you have to do if you want to accentuate this natural wave is to leave the top straight part untouched and then, with the help of your finger and some hair gel, twist around just the ends of your hair.

6. Crew Cut

black guy with short straight hair

This particular short hairstyle works great if you’re a black guy with straight hair (or straightened hair) and you’re trying to grow back your natural curls. It’s very low maintenance, and your hair will grow out stronger than before.

Ask your barber to shave your hair with the lowest setting possible; however, don’t completely shave your hair! You want to have actual hair covering your head, not go completely bald.

Bold Taper Haircuts for Black Guys

7. Tapered Undercut

black guy's straight haircut

This is also a classic hairstyle for black men. But, unlike the previous ones, you will have to help yourself with a blow dryer, a comb, and hair gel.

We recommend you wash your hair and then blow dry it as you comb it slightly to the back, and then, to give it that ‘messy’ touch, grab some hair gel and run your fingers through your hair to give it some shape and form.

8. Very Short Haircut

icy blonde straight hair for black men

Having straight hair as a black guy is already a fashion statement, but dying it icy blonde is truly for the bold ones. You’ll have to bleach it first and then apply a very light blonde on top.

Make sure to apply hair moisturizer after you’ve finished dying your hair and use a blow dryer if you feel like you need to give it some more shape after you’re done.

9. Buzz Cut with Low Fade

black guy with straight hair

This low fade hairstyle is very similar to the one we showed you. However, the top part of your hair should be slightly longer than the bottom part so the fading of the straight haircut can be seen.

10. Long Straight Down Hair

Believe it or not, some men can style their straight hair to get to be this long. If anyone wants to achieve this long hairstyle for black guys, they can either let their hair grow or get extensions. Remember to part it down the middle and let it fall naturally to the sides.

11. Pompadour Undercut

This is a great style if you are a black guy and you want to play around with the natural straight texture of your hair. Simply grab some hair gel and push your hair from the back to the front of your hair and then comb it a little bit upwards.

Remember, you’re trying to give some texture to your hair, so don’t be scared of puffing it up with the gel.

12. Offside Part Hairstyle

If you’re a black man with big afro hair and you want to go for a classic straight hairstyle, you can try this one.

To get it, you’ll have to straighten your hair and part it slightly to one side and then comb the other with the help of a blow dryer and a round comb. Make sure to push the longer side of your hair to the back and there you go!

13. Top Knot

This is one of those classic hairstyles that are very easy for any man. You will have to push your hair to the back and twist it around until you get a very big bun.

Make sure to tie it all together with a hair tie and hide it using your hair, so it isn’t visible. Also, you can pull out your bun a little bit to make it even bigger.

14. Long Men Braids

long straight hair braids for black guys

This is way more of a risky straight hairstyle and yet is very easy to do. To get it, you will have to part your hair down the middle first and then start braiding each side into a boxer braid.

Make sure to incorporate each strand of hair into the braid as you go down; however, leave the edges untouched so you can later on style them and lay them as seen in the picture.

Coolest Braided Hairstyles for Black Guys to Rock

15. Light Caesar Cut

You don’t have to have extremely curly hair if you want to get deep cut lines on your haircut, you can also do it with straightened hair.

All you have to do is ask your barber to give you a sharp square haircut and then, with the electric razor, mark some lines that cut from the top of your hair all the way to the back.

16. Simple Man Bun

Black men can also get regular man buns with their straight hair! And it’s actually easier to do with straightened hair.

We recommend you to slightly comb your hair and then push it to the back and up as if you were to do a ponytail, but instead of putting your hair in a ponytail, tie it into a bun!

17. Slick Back Hair

This black men hairstyle is one of those low maintenance haircuts that everyone can get. It’s basically your own straight hair laid down, but this time the edges should be lowered enough that you can see the difference between the two parts of your hair.

18. Man Braids

If you have already straightened your hair, you can give it a little twist and part your hair in the middle and then braid it into two man braids and put them on the back.

Make sure the sides and lower part of your hair are short enough that you don’t have to pull them into the braid.

19. Short Wave Hairstyle + Fade

black men with straight hair

If you remember the very first hairstyle we showed you, it was similar to this one, with the exception that this particular one is way shorter and comes in a square clean cut.

However, you’ll still have to put your hair on a wave cap throughout the night, if you want the waves to be shorter, we recommend you apply less pressure on it.

20. Soft Waves

Remember when we told you men’s straight hairstyles could get waves too? Well, this is a way to do so.

First, you have to make sure your straight hair is parted down the middle, and then wet it or damp it a little bit to scrunch it with your hands (using some hair gel to help you do so) and get the wave hairstyle for black men you see in the picture.

21. Long Comb Over Hairstyle

This comb over is one of those classic straight hairstyles for black men that are very easy to get. You will have to ask your barber to give you subtle shading on the sides and leave the top part longer.

Then simply part it off to one side and use a comb to style it up and to the side to achieve the same hairstyle.

22. Side Parted Hairstyle

To get this hairstyle, make sure to part your hair in the middle and, with the help of some hair gel and your own fingers, style upwards and then use the blow dryer to really achieve the volume you want.

Unusual Conk Hairstyles That Black Men Love

23. Short Quiff

This is another classic style for black men’s straight hair, and all you have to do is push the top and longest part of your hair to the back with the help of the blow dryer and a tiny round comb. You can run your fingers through your hair if you want to give it some texture.

24. Long Layered Hair

black guy with long straight hair

Last, but not least, you could leave your straight hair down in a middle part hairstyle and simply let it fall. Of course, to really mimic this particular long layered hairstyle for guys you’ll have to let your hair grow down to your chest and not cut it for at least three years.

25. Short Pomp

short straight haircuts for black men

This short straight haircut itself is a very simple one for black guys since all you need to do is ask your barber to leave the top part longer and cut down the sides.

However, to really get the messy top part, you will have to blow dry it and push it upwards with a big, round comb.

So, choose your favorite straight hairstyle for black men according to your hair growth and face shape and enjoy the unique look.

There’s no shame in men taking care of themselves and, more particularly, their hair. Men, just like women, have an interest in changing up their looks from time to time.

If you’re looking to rid yourself of those curls and make your hair straight, look no further. There are a few different options to get straight hair.

Consider all of them, and be sure to choose the one that is best suited for you. Your hair type will be the most significant determining factor in getting from curly to straight hair.

Here are a few options to show you just how to straighten men’s hair.

How to Straighten Men’s Hair Temporarily

Straightening Men's Hair Temporarily

You might be looking to try a new ‘do but aren’t quite ready to commit to more permanent options to get straight hair. Not to worry, you’ve got choices. Here are a couple of temporary possibilities for you:

Blow Out

Sometimes a salon-style blow out is all you need to straighten out your curls. Get a salon-style blow out in your own home by following these steps:

1. Wash your hair

  • Use shampoo and follow with conditioner
  • Use a leave-in conditioner if available and necessary
  • Towel dry your hair

2. Add a moisturizer/heat protectant

  • Examples are argan oil or coconut oil
  • These help to protect your hair from heat damage

3. Comb your hair

  • Make it as straight as possible
  • Your comb-type will depend on your hair (tight curls use wide-toothed, thinner hair use fine-toothed)

4. Blow-dry your hair

  • Using medium heat, hold the blow dryer approximately 1 inch from your hair
  • Move blow dryer over hair while combing from roots to tip
  • If available, use an attachment nozzle to help control the air
  • Try not to hold it over one section, or you could cause damage to your hair

5. Add a serum

  • A serum will reduce frizz, add shine and hold the hair in place
  • Work from the roots of your hair

Flat Iron

If you have particularly stubborn and/or curly hair, a blow out might not do the trick. You might opt for flat ironing as an alternative to make your hair straight:

How to Straighten Curly Hair on Men Semi-Permanently

Straighten Curly Hair for Men

If you have tried out the temporary options to straighten your hair and are still not happy with the results or are looking for longer-lasting results, you might look into chemical treatment options.

The most commonly known chemical straightening treatment is known as a relaxer. A relaxer is a cream-like substance that chemically breaks down the hair strands.

This process will ultimately alter your texture from curly to straight hair. Typically, chemical treatments last approximately 6-8 weeks.

You have the option of going to a professional for this treatment process. Otherwise, some at-home kits are available to you.

Just like when you are handling any chemicals at home, be sure to thoroughly read the instructions, as this might damage you or your hair.

If you are interested in trying out a relaxing treatment at home to make your hair straight, follow these easy steps:

1. Make sure your hair is NOT clean

  • Don’t shampoo for 2-3 days prior
  • This Could cause additional irritation to your scalp

2. Diligently read all instructions on the product

  • The ingredients are potent chemicals that can cause damage if not used properly
  • Follow the treatment time listed on the product specifically

3. Mix the ingredients

  • Wear gloves to protect your hands from the chemicals
  • Mix until it turns into a paste

4. Apply product to hair

  • Move through all of your hair in sections until you have covered all of your hair
  • Move from ends to the scalp – heat from your scalp will cause the relaxer to work more quickly
  • If possible, see if you can have someone help you

5. Leave in your hair

  • Pay close attention to what your instructions are, but typically from 10-15 minutes
  • If you experience any severe irritation, make sure you wash your hair out immediately with shampoo

6. Wash your hair

  • Use the shampoo included with your kit
  • Otherwise, use a clarifying shampoo to neutralize the chemicals
  • Finish up with conditioner and rinse with cold water

Deciding whether to have your hair relaxed with a chemical treatment by a professional or to do it yourself at home is up to your comfort level. There are chemicals involved, so be very careful and follow every instruction on the box closely.

What Is the Right Way to Get Straight Hair?

Learning how to straighten hair on men can take a bit of practice. While some methods work well for some, others will inevitably work well for others.

Try out some of the temporary options and if you decide to move to something more permanent, know there are options out there for you.

Have you ever wondered whether coloring curly or straight hair is easier? While both types of hair require special care when coloring, the process, and results vary depending on whether your locks are wavy or sleek.

In this blog post, we’ll explore the pros and cons of each type of hair to determine which one is easier to work with dye. Let’s plunge into our research!

Is It Easier To Dye Straight Or Curly Hair?

Straight hair will more readily accept color, but not always, depending on particular hair texture. Different coloring or highlighting processes work well on different kinds of hair. For example, cap highlights perform better on straight hair than curly, and balayage is better for those with curly hair.

Curly Hair Coloring

Coloring your curls is a great way to experiment with different colors and shades without compromising your natural curls.

Plus, the added color provides a protective layer against heat styling tools and environmental factors that can harm your hair. However, some challenges come with dyeing those coils.

Before taking the plunge into a new hue, it is essential to factor in how often one would need to visit the salon for touch-ups due to curls’ porosity and propensity for absorbing more product than straight strands.

Curly Hair Coloring Techniques

Hair dyeing options for curly hair

Some curly hair coloring techniques are:

  • Balayage: This is a freehand technique where the color is applied to the hair in a sweeping motion.
  • Ombre: Ombre adds depth and dimension to curly hair. It is a technique where the color is darker at the roots and gradually fades into a lighter shade towards the ends.
  • Foil highlighting: This method involves wrapping highlighted sections of hair in foil to ensure that the color is evenly distributed.
  • Color melting: Color melt is a dyeing process where two or more colors are seamlessly blended to create a natural gradient effect. Works like magic on curls.
  • Full-coloring: This technique involves coloring the entire head of hair in one uniform shade.

Straight Hair Coloring

dyeing straight hair

Straight hair is often easier to color than curly or wavy hair, as the dye will spread more evenly across the strands. However, there are still some challenges that come with dyeing straight locks. Here are some of the benefits, challenges, and tips for coloring straight hair:

One of the main advantages of coloring straight hair is that it’s easier to get an even application throughout your strands. This makes it ideal for those who want a uniform color from root to tip without any patchy areas.

However, there are several challenges to keep in mind, including the risk of damage from over-processing and the possibility of discoloration when lightening the straight hair too much.

Coloring hair can be a rewarding experience, but it is crucial to consider the challenges and tips before starting.

Straight Hair Coloring Techniques

Hair dyeing options for straight hair
  • Highlights: This popular technique lightens certain hair strands to add dimension and depth to the overall color.
  • Ombre: This technique involves coloring the hair in a gradient from dark at the roots to lighter at the ends.
  • Root melt: This technique involves blending the root color into the rest of the hair to create a seamless transition between the roots and the rest of the hair.
  • Color blocking: This technique involves adding bold streaks of color to sections of the hair for a dramatic, edgy look.
  • Babylights: This technique adds fine highlights to the hair for a natural, sun-kissed look.

Does Dyeing Hair Ruin Curls?

Research shows that dyeing hair can damage curls if not done correctly. The chemicals in hair dye can strip moisture and weaken the hair, causing breakage and frizz, which could affect the curl pattern.

However, using a good quality conditioner after dyeing and avoiding overprocessing can help prevent damage and maintain the curl pattern. It’s best to consult with a professional stylist who has experience with curly hair and can recommend the safest dyeing techniques for your hair type.

I Want To Make My Curly Hair Straight. Should I Straighten or Dye My Hair First?

Straighten or Dye Hair First?

It is generally recommended to straighten your hair first before dyeing it. This is because the heat from the straightening tool could damage the freshly dyed hair or change its color. Also, properly care for your hair to avoid any potential damage and breakage.

Consult a professional stylist for personalized advice on the best course of action for your hair type and goals.

So, Is It Easier To Dye Curly or Straight Hair?

Whether you choose to color your curly hair or straighten it is entirely up to you and depends on your individual preferences and budget.

While coloring curls may require more maintenance than straight hair, others may find that straightening is more time-consuming. Consider what works best for you and your lifestyle when making your decision.

Are you tired of spending hours straightening your naturally curly or kinky hair? For many, everyday hair maintenance can be overwhelming, and straightening natural curls can be very time-consuming.

If you’re one of those, it’s time to explore straight perms! The straight perm is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a long-lasting solution to tame your frizzy, curly, or wavy hair.

Straight Perm is also known as Japanese hair straightening or thermal reconditioning. This treatment uses chemicals and heat to transform your hair into a sleek, pin-straight look permanently.

What Is a Straight Perm?

Straight Perm
Straight Perm

A straight perm is a chemical treatment to straighten wavy and curly hair, and then you apply heat to the hair for the best results.

It would be best to distinguish a straight perm from other chemical straighteners. A smoothing treatment like a keratin treatment helps smooth the hair but does not straighten it, and this semi-permanent treatment works best to reduce frizz or loosen curls.

People can also choose chemical processing to relax their curls; chemical relaxers do not require heat.

How Do Straight Perms Work?

A straight perm uses a chemical solution to break down the structure of the hair, which holds the shape of the curls or waves. Once the straightening treatment has been applied, the stylist will use a flat iron to apply heat, which will seal in the chemicals.

Straightening your hair will require two to four hours in the salon chair, depending on your hair type and length.

A straight perm done by a stylist in a hair salon can last from three to six months. Straightening your hair with a home perm kit will last about six weeks.

Different Types of Straight Perm

You have several options if you consider straightening your hair using a straight perm. Visit any hair salon in your area and ask to speak to a hairstylist knowledgeable in hair straightening.

Beauty supply stores offer more options for straight perms that you can do at home.

At-Home Straight Perm Kits

Straightening your hair at home can be easy and much less expensive than in salons. At-home kits can cost as little as twenty dollars compared to the hundreds of dollars you might spend at a salon.

Home perm kits have become much more user-friendly, but it is essential to read the instructions carefully to ensure the best results.

Straightening curly hair at home may be convenient, but you must remember that it is a permanent treatment. It is possible to end up with damaged hair, and you will have to wear your mistake until new hair growth hides it.

Professional Salon Straight Perm

Permanent straightening in a salon generally takes a few hours. The stylist will apply the correct perm chemicals for your hair type, and they will achieve the texture you are looking for.

The prices for hair straightening will depend on the salon. Typically, it can cost $150 or several hundred dollars, depending on the type and length of your hair.

The most significant advantage to visiting a hair salon is the hairstylist’s experience and knowledge. However, you may pay a great deal of money for results you are not happy with.

Japanese Thermal Straightening Perm

A Japanese thermal straightening perm is also known as thermal reconditioning. This straightening process uses a chemical treatment to change the hair’s protein structure.

This treatment is effective for frizzy, wavy, or curly hair. A Japanese thermal straightening perm can last up to six months, leaving hair with a soft and manageable texture.

The Japanese hair straightening process can take up to five hours and be more expensive than the traditional salon straight perms. Depending on your hair’s natural state, it can cost $400 to $800.

You will enjoy your straight hair for up to six months. Unfortunately, you cannot reverse the process. You will have to wait several months to see your curls if you don’t like your new hair.

Hair Rebonding Straight Perm

Hair rebonding is also called chemical straightening. It is a process that uses chemicals to change the physical structure of the keratin molecules in the hair.

Typically, hair-rebonding straight perms contain formaldehyde, which can take several hours to straighten the hair. It is essential to consult with a hairstylist to decide if you are a good candidate for hair rebonding.

The cost will depend on your hair’s thickness and length, costing $350 and upwards. You may notice some hair breakage, damage, and dryness due to the chemicals.

Keratin Straightening Perm

A keratin straightening is often referred to as a Brazilian keratin treatment or a Brazilian blowout. A hairstylist will wash your hair, apply chemicals, blow dry, and then use a flat iron to seal the products. The process will take several hours, and these perms can cost from $200 to $500.

The keratin treatment will straighten hair for up to six months. Keratin-treated hair looks shiny and less frizzy. The disadvantage of keratin straightening perms is that they contain formaldehyde, which can be dangerous if inhaled.

How Do You Prepare Your Hair For a Straight Perm?

You can do a few things to guarantee the best results for your straight perm. Do not bleach or color your hair for at least six months.

It is best to avoid layering or thinning your hair before your perm. Most straightening perms will require a specific cut to get the style you are looking for.

You should maintain a consistent hair care routine. Perms work best on healthy hair. You should wait a month or two if you see any hair damage or dryness.

Potential Side-Effects of a Straight Perm

Side-Effects of a Straight Perm

There are several side effects that you should consider before getting a straight perm.

  • Hair damage: Straight perms use chemicals that can damage your hair. You may have more difficulty maintaining and styling your hair.
  • No color: Once you have chemically straightened your hair, it is best not to color. You will not be able to curl your hair.
  • New growth: New hair will look significantly different from the straightened hair section. Near the scalp, you may see wavy hair or curls. You can get touch-ups with some treatments to have an even texture all over your head.

Things To Consider Before Getting a Straight Perm

Straight perms last for months, so you should consider a few things before booking your appointment.

It’s a Commitment

Straight perms are chemical treatments that alter the structure of your hair. The process has long-term effects so that you will live with your new straight hair for weeks or months. Throughout this time, you will be limited to styles of straight hair. Other chemical treatments are discouraged, so coloring your hair will have to wait.

Potentially Damaging to Your Hair

The straight perms contain chemicals that damage your hair. You might see breakage, split ends, dryness, and hair loss is also possible.

Loss of Other Hairstyle Options

You will be unable to change up your hairstyles, and once your hair is chemically straightened, you will only be able to have straight hair. Coloring will also be off the table until the perm has grown out.

How To Care For Your Straight Perm

How To Care For Your Straight Perm

Maintaining your straight perm will take a bit of extra work. For long-lasting results, here are a few things you can do.

  • Condition daily: You should shampoo every two to three days, but you should use conditioner every day.
  • Avoid heat: You should avoid using a flat iron or blow dryer on your hair.
  • Hair products: You should buy hair products designed for chemically straightened hair. These products will help with moisture retention.
  • Hair cuts: You should visit the hair salon more often than before your perm. It would be best if you went every four to six weeks.

Final Thoughts

Having a hairstyle that you love can boost your self-confidence, and a straight perm can give you fantastic results. It is essential to consult with your hairstylist to determine which chemical treatment will work best for your type of hair. Once you have decided, the only thing left is to book an appointment and relax.

Straightening your hair at home is also an option. Following the instructions for the straight perm kits is essential, so you don’t damage your hair.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to cut off all my hair to return it to its natural state?

You will need to be patient while your hair grows. As it grows, you can have the straightened parts cut off.

Hair Rebonding

Rebonding Hair Straightening Technique

The bonds in your hair determine its shape, whether it is straight, wavy or curly. Rebonding uses chemicals and heat to relax and break the bonds down, allowing you to restructure your hair.

It’s a multiple-step process that takes anywhere from three to eight hours for hair rebonding. Longer, thicker hair will take several hours to restructure.

  1. Shampoo and dry your hair. Conditioner is not applied during this step.
  2. Your hair is divided and sectioned off to ensure each strand is chemically coated.
  3. The chemical relaxer is applied and left on for 30 to 45 minutes.
  4. Your hair is steamed for 10 to 45 minutes. Thicker hair is steamed longer than shorter styles.
  5. The relaxer is shampooed out, and a deep conditioner is applied.
  6. Your hair is straightened with a flat iron.
  7. A chemical neutralizer is applied to secure the bonds and left on for thirty minutes before rinsing out with cold water.
  8. Your hair is dried and re-straightened with a flat iron.

Hair rebonding typically lasts six to seven months. Women with fast-growing hair may need to get their roots touched up every four to six weeks.

Hair Relaxing

Hair Relaxing

Hair relaxing is less expensive than rebonding, and the process only takes one or two hours.

Chemicals are applied to restructure hair bonds and rinsed off after a couple of hours. Your hair is conditioned, dried, and straightened with a flat iron. Results usually last around three months without any touchups.

Unlike rebonding, relaxers do not remove all curls from your hair. It does smooth frizz and loose hairs.

Pros and cons of chemical hair straightening (hair rebonding and relaxing).

Pros

  • The treatment only takes a couple of hours.
  • It is the least expensive of the salon hair straightening options.
  • Results last for six months.
  • New hair growth is less curly from the weight of your straightened locks.

Cons

  • The chemicals straighten your hair by damaging the follicle.
  • Split ends and breakage are common with chemical straightening.
  • Hair loss can occur over time.
  • You cannot perm or color your hair after the treatment.

Thermal or Japanese Reconditioning

Japanese Reconditioning

Japanese reconditioning uses heat and chemicals to straighten your hair, similar to rebonding. It is also a multi-step process.

  1. After washing and separating your hair, a relaxer is applied.
  2. The relaxer is rinsed out, and heat is applied with a straightening iron.
  3. Chemicals are reapplied to secure hair bonds.

You must return to the salon in three days for a follow-up treatment that solidifies the hair bonds. Your results will last up to six months, but you may need a root touch-up.

Japanese hair straightening uses a combination of treatments that can leave you silky straight hair but can also damage it.

Pros

  • You get straight hair that is easy to maintain
  • Results can last over six months
  • The attractive straight style is currently in fashion

Cons

  • The combination of heat and chemicals damages the hair follicle
  • It is an expensive treatment that takes several hours
  • Once you have the sleek, straight style, it is hard going back to curly locks

Keratin Treatment

Keratin Hair Straightening

You aren’t going to get perfectly straight locks with a keratin treatment, but it will smooth out frizz and soften tight curls. Also known as a Brazilian blowout treatment, it’s safer for your hair than other chemical straighteners.

After your hair is washed and sectioned, a keratin solution is applied, and a flat iron locks it into each strand.

It is an expensive treatment but results last up to six months.  Keratin treatments moisturize your hair as it straightens, but the treatment can have a few downsides.

Pros

  • Keratin conditions your hair during the treatment helping to smooth frizz and add a healthy shine
  • It is safer for your hair than other chemical hair straightening treatments.
  • The treatment can last up to six months with minimal root treatments

Cons

  • The treatment does not entirely straightener your hair
  • You may not like how your style looks when your curly roots grow over the straighter bottom half.

At Home Perms

At-home perm kits are inexpensive and easy to find at most drugstores. The chemical relaxer in the kit will soften curls, but they will come back when your hair gets wet. These kits are commonly used with a flat iron for best results.

The least expensive of the permanent hair straightening methods, you get similar results to a salon treatment.

Pros

  • The kits are inexpensive, readily available at most drugstores, and easy to use
  • Chemicals are less concentrated than at a salon reducing your risk for side effects.
  • Less time-consuming than a visit to the salon

Cons

  • Results do not last as long as those from a salon
  • At-home kits do not entirely straighten thick or tight curls
  • The chemicals can permanently damage your follicles

Hair Styling Tools

Hot Comb for Straightening Hair

You can avoid chemicals and high salon prices using the tools you have at home. Almost every bathroom has a blow dryer. Combined with a round brush, you can straighten and smooth curls.

A hot comb by itself or with a blow dryer is another option. You get a sleek look with a smooth texture.

Electric or hot brushes work great on thick and fine hair. The large bristles heat up to smooth and straighten your hair as it dries.

Pros & Cons

You won’t have to worry about chemicals, but your styling tools can still damage your hair. Heat from flat irons, hot brushes, electric combs, and blow dryers can hurt hair follicles.

The results are temporary. Your straight hairstyle lasts until it gets wet or humidity levels climb too high. You must also incorporate it into your daily beauty routine for straight hair.

Natural Hair Straightening Methods

You can avoid hair damage caused by chemical and heat straightening treatments using one of the following methods.

Natural Hair Straightening Methods Comparison:

1. Milk Spray

milk spray for straightening hair

All you need is dairy milk. It doesn’t matter what brand, but milk with a higher fat percentage may give you smoother hair. It contains more of the proteins that smooth frizz.

Pour milk into a spray bottle. You only need enough to cover your hair. Let it sit for thirty minutes before rinsing out. Use cold water to help the proteins bond to your hair.

2. Hot Oils

You need:

  • 1 tablespoon of castor oil
  • 1 tablespoon of coconut oil

Mix the two oils, heat, and massage them into your scalp. Keep massaging for 15 minutes. You want to ensure the oils saturate all of your hair. If you have thicker hair or longer hair, you may need to double the ingredients.

Let the oils sit for thirty minutes and wash off with a sulfate-free shampoo. Try to use cold water. It helps with tightening the bonds.

Coconut oil moisturizes your hair, reducing frizz and breakage. Castor oil adds shine while also smoothing your hair.

3. Egg and Olive Mask

Natural Hair Straightening Method - Egg and Olive Oil Mask

You apply face masks, so why not use one on your hair? You can have smoother hair with two eggs and three tablespoons of olive oil.

Let the mixture soak into your hair for about an hour before washing in cold water with a mild shampoo.

4. Milk and Honey

The method is a little messy. You want to have plenty of towels ready. Get together,

  • 1/2 cup of milk
  • 2 tablespoons of honey

Mix the eggs and honey and coat your hair. Leave the mixture for two hours before washing off with a sulfate-free shampoo. Use cold water to preserve the proteins bonded to your hair. It reduces frizz and gives you a smooth style.

5. Egg and Rice Flour Mask

Egg and Rice Flour Mask for Straightening Hair Naturally

To make this nourishing hair straightening mask, you need

  • 5 tablespoons of rice flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup Fuller’s Earth

Combine all of the ingredients and apply the mixture to your hair. Let it sit for one hour before rinsing it out with shampoo and cold water. The mix moisturizes and cleanses your hair for a smooth, frizz-appear style.

Not everyone has Fuller’s Earth, a clay-like material at home. You can find it online and at most beauty shops and natural health stores.

Hair Straighteners and Potential Side Effects

Chemical Hair Straightening

Chemical hair straighteners and at-home relaxers contain formaldehyde. It is a small amount of the carcinogen, but it is enough to cause potential side effects.

Inhaling the chemical fumes as the solution is applied to your hair can result in respiratory issues. Your nose and eyes may become irritated, along with your scalp. If you experience any of these side effects, stop the treatment and rinse the chemicals out of your hair.

Before you change the shape of your hair, take a minute to look over the advantages and potential downsides. You don’t want to make the wrong choice when it comes to your hair.

Natural Hair Straightening Methods

Using natural methods for hair straightening has its advantages. Most of the ingredients are in your kitchen. It’s inexpensive, chemical-free, and improves the health of your hair.

Unfortunately, these methods are temporary and do not fully straighten your hair. Instead, they smooth frizz and flyaway strands giving you a sleeker, more manageable style.

Summing Up 

When it comes to types of hair straightening methods, you have plenty from which to choose. Each has its advantages and downsides.

The suitable method for you depends on the style you want and the amount of damage you want to do to your hair.

You get the best and longest-lasting results with chemical treatments. They are also the most expensive and damaging to your hair. At-home kits do the same amount of damage with fewer results, but it is an inexpensive semi-permanent option.

Styling tools do the least damage to your hair for temporary results. Natural methods improve hair health, but they do not straighten curly hair.

It comes down to how much time and money you are willing to spend to straighten your hair.

Shag haircuts are back, and they create quite a fuss around them. The Farrah Fawcett and Jennifer Aniston-inspired look has a twist, is suitable for mid and long hair, and looks its best on wavy and straight hair.

It doesn’t require tremendous effort to style shag cuts if your hair is straight. You can get a unique look with a tousle and a messy touch.

 

Best Shag Haircuts for Straight Hair

So if you want to sport something different and more trendy, shag haircuts for straight hair are the deal right now. 

1. Brown Shag With Bangs

A shag gives straight and flat hair more volume by creating loads of layers that fall over the other. They are great for long hair that lacks dimension and shape.

2. Short Blonde Shag

Embrace your white threads and let them blend, creating a unique color and highlighted aspect. Build your layers low, over the shoulders, especially if your tresses are very long. Use a round brush to lift the ends upwards. 

 

6. Pixie Shag With A Bob

A pixie bob hairstyle will look fabulous if you choose an auburn color and blonde and mahogany highlights and lowlights.

By layering your strands, lifting the ends, and creating some spikes, your crown hair will gain all the volume you want. 

 

7. Shaggy Layers for Round Faces

When you have a round or chubby face, the best hairstyle is one that makes your face elongated and beautifully frames it.  Asymmetry is another important feature you must create to cut off those prominent cheekbones and jawlines.

Start building those layers with the bangs and continue with strands on the sides.

 

8. Glammy Red Carpet

Having fine and way too silky hair is a problem many women encounter because it lays flat and can’t hold a curl.

So even if you are building loose waves, you will need texturizing and volumizing sprays before you use the iron or Dyson. 

 

9. Long Blonde Shag

This is the classical long shag hairstyle that features bangs, and layers around the sides and edges. It gives more volume to the crown area, while the other tresses from the lower back and side provide length. Bangs are cut in a straight line, covering the eyebrows. 

 

10. Hairstyle For Latinas

When you have a great hair length, you have immense possibilities for building those layers. Start by getting straight bangs, and chop the sides and crown to create dimension. However, do not reduce the length because we aim to build more volume on flat straight hair. 

 

11. Short Bangs

Short bangs are not for everybody, so before you make such a dramatic change, you must ensure that the new trim suits your face shape.

If you’re going for a cut that is one inch or two above the eyebrows, make sure your face is not heart-shaped or square

 

12. Messy and Colorful

Shaggy hairstyles look fabulous, especially if you transform your hair into a canvas where electric nuances and shades can be stunningly blended.

Opt for a bob haircut with chopped layers and long bangs that you’ll swipe to the side. Apply the colors only in the crown area. 

 

Shaggy hairstyles are ideal cuts for women with straight hair that want to boost their self-confidence and sport a new look that gives their hair much more volume.

It doesn’t matter the length of your hair, shags are perfect for anyone who is not afraid to go for a choppy hairdo and a dramatic cut. Let us know which of the hairstyles you lived and which is the next trim you’ll get.

Curtain bangs is a retro hairdo that looks modern. These ’70s classics have made a strong comeback and no wonder why everybody loves them.

Curtain bangs look even better with straight hair because of the clean look and how it frames the face.

They are a softer version of traditional short straight bangs that are cut at an angle and parted in the center to fall along both sides of the face, just like curtains on a window.

Although these super-versatile bangs literally go with all face shapes, hair lengths, and textures, we have brought down the focus on various ways to rock curtain bangs with straight hair. Don’t miss it!

 

Curtain Bangs for Straight Hair

If you wish to keep all the focus on that beautiful face and its gorgeous features, you will not find anything better than curtain bangs. And if your hair is straight, rock any of the below curtain bangs that were made for your straight hair!

1. Short and Sexy

It is convenient to transform straight bangs into a curtain bangs. Just let those short strands grow a bit getting past your eyes and snip them slightly at an angle to frame the face with a middle parting. Coming towards the hair color, put those dark roots on display confidently too.

 

2. Classic Bangs with Bun

Get a hair makeover that’ll wow everyone on the way. Opt for soft layers with medium-length bangs and set the style on fire with a honey-blonde balayage. Flaunt the look with loose waves or style the hair into a classic high bun for a change. 

 

3. Soft Definition

These curtain bangs with straight hair are a suitable idea for ladies who want to refresh their long boring tresses without compromising on the length.

Experiment with a blunt cut or a slightly U-shaped one without layers for the bangs to really stand out around the face.   

 

4. Thin Hair, Don’t Care

Got a thinning mane or a receding hairline? No problem, as curtain bangs are still an option for you.

Hide that wide forehead by chopping the front strands at eye level with shoulder-length layers and your tresses are sure to look healthier than before.

 

5. Choppy Bob

Choppy bobs and lobs have remained quite a thing this year and so have Bardot bangs. Combine them together and the result is a sexy short hairdo that is sure to grab some attention. A hand-tousle and off you go!

Try the look with some loose beach waves too.

 

6. Luxurious Money Pieces

A new haircut deserves a fresh hair color. Quite reasonable, right?

Keep all the attention at the front by asking for money pieces or halo highlights to contrast sharply against the remaining dark tresses. Rock bright colors like blues and purples instead of the usual blonde tones to drop some jaws.

 

7. Side-Swept

Curtain bangs are shorter in the middle, longer towards the sides, and are known to be parted in the center.

But the parting can be pushed towards one side too if the former one doesn’t suit your face shape. Complete the look with a layered lob and some highlights. Zero regrets guaranteed!

 

8. Long Curtains

Go as long as you want with those strands at the front and you are still able to create some volume and shape around the face.

That’s the benefit of a curtain bangs. Thick-haired ones can take off excess bulk with layering and show off their new hairdo with a high bun.

 

9. Front Graduation

Blend those bangs seamlessly with the remaining locks by opting for layers at the front. The hairstylist will snip at an angle and instead of stopping near the chin will continue all the way to the ends. Curl the strands outwards and get ready to be stunned by the results.

 

10. Perfect Frame

Here is another example of Bardot bangs framing the face with utmost perfection. The trick lies in styling them with a round brush and hairdryer swooping them on both sides of the face. Throw in some highlights with a pinned updo at the back and you’ll love it!

 

11. The Shag

Shags never go out of fashion. Recreate this modern one by sporting thick eye-grazing fringes that elongate along the sides paired with highlights and a shoulder-length haircut. Although these curtain bangs seem to work for straight hair only, wait till you recreate them on curly tresses.

 

12. Bold and Beautiful

Bold is beautiful and this look won’t let you say no. Again a medium-length shag but this time on thin hair with some texture on top. Level it up with a bright purple nuance and vivid streaks of yellow for an eye-popping outcome that is high maintenance for sure!

 

13. Swooped

Avoid scissors till the very end by using a round brush, a hair dryer, and some good hairstyling product to swoop the front strands along the sides. If you like the look clip the strands and if you don’t just forget about it! The platinum blonde bob is worth a shot anyway.

 

14. Lovely Layers

Nothing can go wrong with layers. Whether you are looking to lighten those thick locks or add some body to a thin mane this haircut with chin-length fringes has got you covered. Flick the ends for a feathered finish and finish off with a spritz of hairspray. 

 

15. Bardot Bangs

A look inspired by Brigitte Bardot who set curtain bangs truly in trend during the 70’s. She rocked her bangs by keeping them at the usual brow length in the middle while the sides elongated to accent her face. This retro flipped-out bob is sure to level up your hair game this season.  

 

16. Tousled Texture

The above hairdo seems too dramatic? Keep it low-key by asking the hairdresser for some texture instead of layers on a bob cut straight across at chin length. This look is low-maintenance and ideal for women with thick straight hair. 

 

17. Pink Pop

Curtain bangs with straight hair may seem enough for some. But why stop here when you are already at the hair salon? Take a step ahead and paint those fringes in a pink tone to contrast against the remaining silver mane or opt for whatever color combo you have in mind.

 

18. Two-Toned Wolf Cut

Another two-toned hair idea to take things up a notch! Opt for a wolf haircut featuring choppy layers and dye the hair dark at the front to stand against the remaining tresses or vice versa creating an eye-catching light and dark interplay on the head.

 

19. Modern Mullet

Short top and sides with significant length at the back and heavy layering are what define the modern mullet haircut of today. Accent the hairdo with Bardot bangs and add some waves to avoid a flat look that won’t look flattering in any way.

 

20. Flawless Middle Part

Instagram / handoverfisthair

This look is the utter depiction of how curtain bangs look on straight hair. A flawless middle parting with the strands elongating gradually and equally on both sides of the face. The dove gray base shade with delicate hints of violet is yet another story!  

 

21. Medium-Length Fringe

If you can’t decide on keeping your bangs short, medium, or long it is always best to get a medium-length chop as you can shorten it further or allow it to reach its desirable length in a smaller duration. Some highlights, layers, a good blowout, and voila!

 

These curtain bangs ideas for straight hair are a safe play for those who want a style shake-up without the tiniest risk. They are low-maintenance, blend perfectly with the remaining hair, and can be swept away in a ponytail whenever you want. What more to ask for? A salon appointment!

Naturally, straight hair is any hairstylist’s dream come true since they tend to have less frizz and texture, making them pliable to any number of styles.

Although traditionally, bridal hairdos have been about tight curls and ringlets, straight hair has its own formidable beauty, so choose the road less taken and experiment with your naturally straight hair for your wedding day.

1. The Classic Tiara & Veil

2. A Textured Bob

No bride can go wrong with a simple high bun with hair slicked back with a glossy finish. Absolutely perfect if you want to emulate Meghan Markle’s royal wedding look or are having a simple church wedding and want a neat and classic hairstyle to work with.

 

4. The Flapper’s Bob

If your hair is short, go for short bridal hairstyle like this one. Flapper bobs were very sought-after haircuts in the 20s, and they’ve been slowly and surely making a comeback.

Even if you leave this classy bob as is without any hair accessories, it makes a bride’s cheekbones appear higher and works spectacularly with large hanging earrings and a statement choker necklace.

 

5. Big Luminous Waves With Tropical Hair Flowers

Big hair is always welcome for a bridal hairstyle because it accentuates oval faces and smaller face shapes, but mostly it draws attention which every bride wants.

Create a style with big luminous waves and plenty of backcombing and volume-adding products, and tie the look together with tropical hair flowers or a tropical flower clip.

Having faux berries and foliage is more unusual but will look stunning for an outdoor wedding.

 

6. A Wavy Bun In A Hair Net

Hair nets are the epitome of a refined, formal hairstyle, especially if a bride is not wearing a traditional veil or has opted for a smaller birdcage veil.

Nothing beats casual but perfect-looking long straight hair. If you have a gorgeous off-shoulder gown, this hairstyle will accentuate it, imparting that heavenly ‘I woke up like this’ vibe that shows low effort but maximum effect.

8. Breakfast At Tiffany’s Inspired Tiara Hairstyle

If you are one of those millions of people who grew up obsessed with Audrey Hepburn’s hairstyles in My Fair Lady and Breakfast At Tiffany’s, this hairstyle is for you.
