Alicia Keys' Straight Hair Secrets

Alicia Keys and her stunning straight hair.

Alicia Keys always looks beautiful no matter how she styles her hair - and she does love to experiment. In fact, her unpredictable hairdos have set off a bit of a debate among fans as to whether the songstress looks better with curly or straight hair. Personally, I prefer Alicia’s straight look, which is probably not surprisingly, given my love of GHD flat irons! I used my flat iron all the time, and sing the praises of GHD flat irons in particular to anyone who will listen. I don’t know what kind of flat iron Alicia uses, but it wouldn’t surprise me to find out that she’s a fellow fan of GHD flat irons! They’re excellent for African American hair. And, yes, African American women can achieve straight hair without chemicals, through flat ironing alone - just ask Michelle Obama! But that’s another story. Right now we’re focusing on Alicia! I adore her center-parted, super sexy look at left, but I also love how pretty and elegant she looks with the voluminous ‘do at right. Looks like Alicia (or her hair stylist) added a little volume at the roots before sweeping everything back and securing it with a wide black headband. The loose waves in her otherwise straight hair were probably made with a flat iron as well, by holding the iron vertically and twisting it through the hair. How do you prefer Alicia’s hair? Straight, curly…either way, she looks amazing!
