10 Celebrity Hairstyles Smoother Than a Tinder Pick-Up Line

Actually, maybe Tinder pick-up lines aren't so smooth, now that we recall the messages that used to clutter our inboxes.

Even still, uber-sleek hair is having a moment on the red carpet—chalk that up to either the Cher effect, or the Posh Spice effect. Although curls and waves continue to be classic looks, there's something about a smooth blowout that gives any ensemble an unexpectedly graphic twist. Even better, it's an easy look to create. Just part your hair as you normally would, give it a quick pass of the flat iron, and add product as needed.

Here, we put together a list of sleek blowouts for every length, ready for your #HairInspo files.

A haircut like Kim Kardashian's may seemingly appear to be all one level, thanks to an invisible layering technique. The layers are still there for the sake of dimension, but are cut closely enough so that it isn't apparent.
