Having long, straight hair is what makes this look so visually stunning – a great choice for when you are knot (pun intended) messing around!
Rose Bun & Braid Half Updo
A rose bun, a beautiful braid and a gorgeous straight mane flowing freely? This is a hairstyle dedicated to those of you with both longer and thicker hair – be it au naturel or aided by hair extensions.
Unicorn-Colored Straight Hair
It doesn’t matter if your locks are shorter or longer, as long as the coloring is skillfully done. This is one of the most magical hairstyles to look at! Although you can try to DIY, we suggest trusting your professional hairdresser if you want to get this look.
Loose Mermaid Braid
You might be tempted to associate braiding with curls – but that is not the case at all. Actually, straight hair is easier to braid tightly and will stay in place throughout the whole day.

Is your mood today ‘fairy queen’ or ‘warrior princess’? Then we have the perfect hairstyle for you! This look is rather intricate and combines thinner braids with a more voluminous bubble braid. The result is truly out of this world!
