Description
Rita Ora is sharing with us a medium blonde, sleek hairstyle that shows off her stunning facial features. The sleek look is ideal for those who have an oblong face shape, as there is no height in this look. The parting down the middle allows the straight hair to fall evenly around her face and shoulder area. To keep her hair out of her face a bit, Rita has placed her hair behind her shoulders, which will also create movement around her back area. This color is stunning for her skin complexion as it complements the yellow undertone in her skin. Remember to use a straightening balm on your hair to protect it from the heat of your straightening iron. The hairstyle will suit those with medium to thick hair density. You do not want to straighten your hair if it is too thin.
With your makeup application, a bit of glitter and shimmer is always a good place to start for an evening look. A thin liner with some eyeshadow under your eye will help make your eyes pop more. Do not forget to highlight and contour your face and neck area to create the illusion of an oval face shape. Finish off with a matte lipstick color, and you are ready for your event!

Styling Steps
Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your nose and then drag the comb straight up slowly until you reach your hairline and then continue back in a straight manner to achieve an even middle part. A middle part is a great way to make small, round face shapes appear longer and thinner.
Squeeze a small amount of straightening balm into your palms and then rub your hands together before smoothing the product evenly through damp hair.
When straightening your hair, first make sure that your hair is completely dry. Then, section your hair off starting from the back/nape using a comb. Straighten your hair starting from the roots and working your way down to the ends using your comb as your guide. Make sure not to leave the straightening iron in one spot for more than 3 seconds.

To finish, apply a minimal amount of hairspray from an arms length distance to the top, sides and back. Take care not to use too much or you will end up with a white, flaky residue which looks like dandruff.
