Lisa Last Update: January 15, 2023

Fine straight hair can be both a blessing and a curse, if you don’t know how to choose the best hairstyles. For fine straight hair, this can depend on whether you have an abundance of fine hair, or if it is a little thin.

The advantage of fine hair is its beautifully soft and silky texture, which is definitely envied by those battling against coarse, curly hair!

Waves add volume

If you have fine hair in abundance, you can wear it long, medium or short depending on your preference and your face shape. Waves are one of the best hairstyles for fine, straight hair at the moment, as random, asymmetrical, tousled waves are a strong trend.

I know it’s hard to get curls to stay put in fine hair, but you’ll find that waves are easier to do and won’t fall out at the first hint of damp in the air!

Straight (in a natural way) is trendy

Although the obsession with horrible, flat, stick-straight hair extensions has mostly disappeared now, long straight hairstyles are still very much in fashion. The main difference is that you should just give your naturally straight hair a blow-dry, without flattening the natural volume into rat’s tails with ceramic straighteners!
