Straight, Over-The-Shoulder Hair Tutorial

It’s time for another check in on my #downfor30 challenge (read part 1 from last week here), where I’ve been wearing my hair down for 30 days straight with the help of Frizz Ease products. This week I’m bringing you an updated take on how to wear straight hair. My hair is natural wavy, so in order for me to straighten it, it takes a few steps. Here’s my easy tutorial for a straight, over-the-shoulder hairstyle.

First, wash your hair. Then apply Frizz Ease® 3-Day Straight™ Flat Iron Spray all over hair. I have a lot of long hair, so I sprayed a generous amount all over (about 12 sprays in total). I was so excited to try this product since it takes forever to style my hair (again, because there is just so much of it!), and this product helps your straight locks to last longer.

Next, it’s time to blow dry your hair. The flat iron spray is a special heat-activated formula, so heat is key here. The spray wraps each strand to seal in longer-lasting straightness without weighing hair down. It also protects against heat damage and blocks frizz. I blow dry all over to start and then go in and divide my hair into sections to blow dry smaller chunks one-by-one.

After your hair is completely dry, you can choose to straighten it or leave it be. I ended up going over a few strands lightly with my flat iron, but if your hair blow dries stick straight, you can skip this step. I like a little body and bend to my hair, so I never fry it or over-straighten it. Make a deep side part and gather hair over your shoulder. Using a bobby pin or two, secure the hair at the nape of your neck so the gathered hair stays over your shoulder.

  1. Love this look! You look gorgeous! As much as I want to love a middle part- I almost always go for a deep side part instead!

  2. This sounds silly but I think that would be the hardest challenge ever for me. I usually start out with it down but then after an hour or so it goes up. Your hair looks so sleek and shiny!

  3. you are my hair twin! similar color, length and super straight! expect yours looks much healthier and shinier. now i know what mine could do with the proper care!
