Long, straight hairstyles will never go out of style. In this gallery, I feature some of the best straight hairstyles on celebrities today.
To get super-straight hair, you'll need a blow dryer, a flat iron, and the right styling products. Which types you use are based on your hair texture. For curly hair, you'll want a straightening balm like L'Oreal Paris Oleo-Keratin Smooth Intense Xtreme Straight Creme.
You can either blow dry your own hair or get it professionally done. If you have super curly hair, you can have pin-straight hair, too, but I recommend getting it professionally blown-out in a salon or have a chemical straightening treatment done like Japanese hair straightening. Find out more about these methods in my article, How to Get Super Straight Hair.
Here, Sarah Wright has flat-ironed her already straight hair. The results are a gorgeous sleek look. Find out my favorite flat irons.

Forget Jennifer Aniston, Blake Lively has one of the most coveted hairstyles ever.
If your individual hair strands are thin, but you have a lot of hair, you can grow hair long, just ask your stylist to cut in long layers. Layers add body. But make sure the stylist doesn't thin hair too much. And invest in a good thickening, volumizing spray or mousse. But a little will go a long way. Too much product will also weigh hair down.

Consider hair extensions. Not all hair extensions are a major investment. You can get a few clip-on extensions for extra body.

If you get sick of stick-straight hair, add a bit of wave to it. Let hair air dry. Most hair has a natural wave to it. If you let hair air-dry, the natural wave will add body. Scrunch hair as it dries for added wave.
