How to Make a Modern Hairstyle

Though the bed head trend still reigns supreme, some women enjoy a sleeker, modern, professional hairstyle. The number one tool you can use to achieve this look is your hair products. Follow these easy instructions and learn how you can create a chic, sophisticated hairstyle on the go.

Things You'll Need

• Hair styling product
• Brush
• Flat iron

Instructions

1. Use a light hand to apply an oil- or silicone-based product to your hair. A tiny dab, smaller than the size of a dime, is plenty for even the longest hair. Rub the product between your palms, then run your hands lightly over your top layer of hair and your ends.

2. Tame your hair with a large round brush. Brush your hair to distribute the hair product throughout your hair. If your hair is thin or fine, you can style your hair with the round brush even without heat. Simply use tension to manipulate your hair into the modern style you want.

3. Straighten your hair with a small ceramic flat iron if your hair is thick or course. Simply run the flat iron over one-inch sections of hair from root to end. If you find yourself frequently in a rush, buy a large flat iron with large ceramic plates so you can straighten larger sections of hair at a time.

4. Style your hair again with a brush after you finish with the flat iron. Lightly spray your hair all over with hairspray, if necessary. Hold the hairspray bottle at least 12 inches from your hair to avoid depositing too much spray in one place. You've now achieved your sleek, modern hairstyle.
