Everything you need for pin-straight hair

1/23 The Spring ‘17 catwalks were full of fresh hair ideas to update your look for the new season; many designers tried out new twists and details to create a unique identity for their woman. Polished and pin straight hair was a key feature at many shows and it has been catching like wild-fire among the style-elite ever since. Click through our gallery to see how you can achieve this modern and minimal look…

Cut is key

2/23 First thing’s first; the cut is key for this style. Your hairdresser will need to cut hair to one length to achieve this look in its purest form with a sharp blunt edge. (Pictured: Versace SS17)

Inject some moisture

3/23 Start with clean and towel dried hair to remove excess moisture. Use an enriching shampoo and conditioner to remove any frizz from the hair and try a super-nourishing hair-mask for an extra injection of moisture. (Pictured: Acne Studios SS17)

Ouai

4/23 Ouai’s nourishing shampoo and conditioner replenish moisture to breakage-prone strands leaving hair looking shiny and feeling stronger.

Living Proof

5/23 Living Proof ‘No Frizz’ Shampoo and Conditioner block humidity so hair is frizz-free, soft, and smooth, without feeling heavy or greasy.

Amika

6/23 For ultimate repair and deep conditioning, the Nourishing Hair Mask by Amika directly penetrates the surface of the hair to fortify and infuse locks with extra moisture while sealing split ends.

Don't despair, Repair!

7/23 ‘Don't Despair, Repair!’ Deep Conditioning Mask works in as little as five minutes to restore essential hydration and natural vibrancy to dry, brittle, over-processed, and otherwise lacklustre locks.

Prep and protect

8/23 Next, prep the hair with a smoothing serum to help get that glossy and mirror-like shine. Also, don’t forget to show your strands some love and protect the hair with a heat- protection spray. (Pictured: Narciso Rodriguez SS17)

Bumble and bumble

9/23 Try the Bumble and Bumble heat-protective blow dry cream for a healthy-looking blow dry. The serum-in-cream helps seal split ends and protects against heat, breakage, and UV damage to repair hair with every blow dry and keep styles looking healthy.

Bumble and bumble

10/23 The Bumble and Bumble invisible oil primer is a multi-tasking pre-styler that instantly protects, conditions, and eases styling for dry, brittle, or coarse hair.

Caviar repair

11/23 This lightweight nourishing multi-vitamin spray from Caviar Repair provides light conditioning while boosting hair's immunity to outside aggressors and heat—protecting hair up to 450°F.

Living proof

12/23 Living Proof No Frizz styling cream smooths, conditions, and eliminates frizz by blocking humidity without weighing hair down.

Blow dry essentials

13/23 To achieve this look the perfect blow dry is essential. The hair shouldn’t be blow-dried just as straight, but as flat and smooth as possible to remove all baby hairs and fly-aways. Blow-dry with tension to flatten cuticles and stretch the hair for maximum shine. (Pictured: Versace SS17)

Dyson

14/23 The Dyson Supersonic hairdryer has a high-speed, powerful, brushless digital motor and intelligent heat control technology, which helps prevent extreme heat damage to protect hair’s natural shine

Drybar

15/23 The Drybar Buttercup Blow Dryer is fitted with ionic technology that seals the cuticle to reduce frizz while drying and provide the shiniest, smoothest blowouts in 20 percent less time than most other professional dryers.

Straighten and seal

16/23 Go over the blow dry with a straightening iron to seal in the straightness. A good quality pair are key to a flawless finish. (Pictured: Acne Studios SS17)

t3

17/23 Using unique patented T3 Tourmaline technology, these award-winning flat iron straighteners utilise Digital SinglePass Technology and are designed to deal with particularly thick, long and coarse hair.

GHD

18/23 The innovative Platinum Styler from GHD uses safer-for-hair heat that delivers ultimate styling results with healthier, stronger and shinier hair.

Bio Ionic

19/23 The Bio Ionic straightener emits negative ions that drive tiny water molecules deep into hair. Hair becomes hydrated and conditioned, and the outer cuticle layer lies flat and smooth—trapping moisture for a vibrant, shiny look.

Fix those fly-aways

20/23 To set the look, use a finishing cream or spray mist onto a brush and comb through to smooth out any stubborn fly-aways. (Pictured: Versace)

Ouai

21/23 Ouai finishing crème is a lightweight formula that protects from heat styling, smooths dry ends, and gives fine to medium hair a light-reflective shine and lustrous finish.

Moroccan Oil

22/23 The finishing spray from Moroccan Oil veils hair in visible shine, enhancing colour and hydrating your locks at the same time.

Pick your parting

23/23 Part your hair exaggerated to the side for a boyish sporty look or straight down the middle and tucked behind the ears for maximum impact. (Pictured: Narciso Rodriguez SS17 & Victoria Beckham SS17)
