Sedu Hairstyles for Coarse Hair

Tyra Banks' shoulder-length, straight hairstyle is a versatile look for work or casual after-work affairs. Head to the salon for the color, but check out these tips to style it: 1. Apply a smoothing cream and blow dry your hair straight with a paddle brush. 2. Using a straightening iron, smooth out 2-inch sections all over your head. 3. Brush hair into shape, and finish with a shine spray for a polished look. See More Tyra Banks Hairstyles

Mary J. Blige's shag is a good choice for layered, medium length hair. What to do: 1. Apply a straightening cream and blow dry hair with a round brush, flipping your ends out. 2. Follow up with a flat iron to further straighten and flip. 3. Apply styling wax to your ends to keep them from falling limp and to get that piece-y texture.
