Steal Taylor Swift's super sleek strands for your fall dance


Buh-bye, beach waves. See ya, tousled texture. Even Tay’s signature golden curls seem long gone. We’re so ready for the sleek strands of fall—which seem to give whatever you’re wearing a hyper haute look. Why not avoid the fussy updos and just go straight and smooth for Homecoming this year? We’re spilling the secrets to going sleek.

 

First: To start off pour a small amount of shine spray into your palm, rub together and apply evenly through damp hair, making sure to work it all the way through to the ends. Warning: Don’t use too much or the added weight will cause your hair to get greasy much faster.

 

Try: FX Silk Drops Hair Serum, $6, ulta.com

Next: Dry your hair and make sure to use the nozzle attachment that comes with the dryer. This tool allows the air from the blow dryer to be more concentrated on one area of your head, which means tons of added control. Put the dryer on a lower speed and higher heat to dry the hair fast but to keep your hair from blowing everywhere. Use a large round brush to help you keep everything straight.

 

Try: GOODY Style Volumized Straightening Round Brush, $10, target.com

Hint: Try drying your hair in small sections to ensure super straightness.

 

Next: Create a side part and use a flat iron to go over any unruly pieces to guarantee sleekness and shine.


Try: Conair Infiniti Pro Solid Ceramic Straightener 1 Inch Cs31, $40, cvs.com

 

Finally: Lightly spray hair to tame down any flyaways. Perfection!

 

Try: Aussie Opposites Attract Extra Strong + Touchable Feel Hairspray, $4, drugstore.com

Hint: Pack a (new) toothbrush in your clutch to comb down any frizzies during the dance! Just make sure you primp yourself in the bathroom to avoid any puzzled looks, OK?
