Updating Your Hairstyle

For tailbone-length thick hair that is stick-straight and can't hold a style, we advise lopping off a little length - you'll still be able to pull it back if it's below your shoulders. Then get some long, graduated layers - the shortest layer should be no higher than your shoulder. This will give your hair a bit of shape but still allow you to toss it into a high ponytail or a low bun (two great styling options for your type of hair). Another thing to experiment with is a heat-styling tool that will enable you to change the texture of your tresses in no time. We like GHD's Original Ceramic Styling Iron, which you can use to give your hair a super-smooth or curly finish depending on how you use it. To buy online, go to www.ghdhair.com.
