¡°There is a feeling of power and sophistication that comes with straight hair, whether it¡¯s poker straight and centre parted ¨C like Lila Moss¡¯s ¨C or side parted with a wet-look finish,¡± says hairstylist Syd Hayes of the return of one of a key hair styling trick from the ¡¯90s. Yep, poker straight hair is back ¨C and if Moss¡¯s first shoot for British Vogue in the June issue isn¡¯t enough to convince you, Hailey Bieber is one of many other famous faces that are trying it, too.?

Referencing a number of spring/summer 2021 shows ¨C from Emilia Wickstead to the slick, glassy shine at Miu Miu ¨C Hayes says the look will be huge for summer. It helps, of course, that the whole world is still a little ¡¯90s and Noughties mad right now, obsessing over Y2K beauty and Bella Hadid¡¯s retro highlights. But while it is a look inspired by the days of wielding straighteners daily, nowadays it¡¯s tinged with a greater sense of sophistication and power.

In fact, it is an easy way to feel polished quickly, something we¡¯re all craving after a long time spent at home. Hayes, for one, says it¡¯s a great trend to try because it can be easily adapted to your individual aesthetic and hair texture. ¡°As long as you have the tool, the rest is up to you,¡± he says. ¡°From Kim Kardashian with her long, flowing locks, to Maya Jama on the Brits red carpet and Anya Taylor-Joy at the Golden Globes, straight hair allows for the nuances in each individual¡¯s style.¡± Anyone can try it.

For Moss¡¯s hair, Hayes used Babyliss¡¯s Cordless Super Motor Hair Clipper to ensure the ends were bluntly and boldly cut, then harnessed the wonders of Maria Nila¡¯s True Soft Argan Oil, to impart a healthy, shiny and frizz-free finish. The straighteners are behind the straight look, of course, and he used Babyliss¡¯s Cordless 9000 Hair Straighteners, which have three temperature settings for your delectation, as well as ceramic plates to glide through hair, snag-free. Those with shorter hair who want that swishy, straight effect? He advises trying Great Lengths extensions to add length (and body).
