If you are looking for a lovely long formal hairstyle that can be worn down, take a look at this one. This young woman has a straight feathered hairdo that is reminiscent of decades gone by (late 70s) and looks glamorous with this simple style. Using a large round brush and blow-dryer it would be easy to create this look as you would point the dryer in a downward motion as you run the brush under the sections. Next, direct the air toward the back while brushing the side in the same direction. Having some layers cut into locks is important to help achieve that feathered appearance.
