I’m a hair guru – the three styles you should go for if you have lank hair and it’s bad news if you want a layered look
A BEAUTY guru has revealed which popular hairstyles to opt for if your hair is pin straight – and turns out, asking for heaps of layers is not the best of ideas.
Whilst having naturally straight hair might seem boring at first, it comes with one perk – you can try out a number of fun looks that wouldn’t suit so well on others.
Here, to guide you through all the Dos and Don’ts was Stella Cini who took to TikTok to share her top tips.
”If you have hair that has absolutely 0 movement in it, it can be a very fun opportunity for you to try stylish, sophisticated and almost editorial haircuts,” she insisted in the video.
One such option, the hair whizz revealed, is the one-length bob – the perfect pick for those after a more elegant and chic look.
It can also be ”very fun” to try A-line bobs if you prefer something a little bit more messy and Bohemian, with shorter bits on the back.
Another bob-inspired style Stella advised as an option were modern asymmetrical haircuts, where one side is typically longer than the other.
According to pros, this pick can also be tailored to flatter different face shapes.
For example, Tutorials Point said, a long face shape can be complemented with a side-swept asymmetrical bob, whereas those with a more round face may benefit from an asymmetrical cut with longer layers.
Stella added: ”These haircuts can work if you want to maintain that very solid unmoving effect.”
However, whilst those with lank hair can pull off many hairstyles, some choices won’t be as flattering, the pro noted.
Sharing her advice on the platform, Stella said: ”Avoid haircuts that require a beachy, wavy effect for them to look good – mullets, shag cuts, butterfly cuts and heavily layered cuts.”

But despite the recommendations, it seems that not everyone will be taking them on board, as hundreds raced to comments to hit back at the guru.
One said: ”1A hair… sometimes it looks flat and boooring but I still feel most like myself wearing those messy shags… [sic]”
Someone else warned: ”IF YOU HAVE STRIAGHT HAIR BUT A LOT OF IT PLS DO NOT GET ONE LAYER BOB UNLESS YOU WANNA LOOK LIKE A LITTLE LAD WHO LOVES BERRIES AND CREAM.”
”So basically, I can’t get any of the haircuts that are currently in style,” a third chimed in.
Another penned: ”I have 1A hair i used to have straight long haircut so i cut myself a wolf cut and later added light bangs and it looks really good, if u really want [sic].”
