Katie Holmes, known for her recent affinity for casual hairstyles, has been embracing the charm of effortless updos and “I-woke-up-like-this” hair looks. Lately, her natural hair texture has taken center stage in most of her appearances. However, she decided to step out of her comfort zone and introduce a sleek change by using a flat iron to straighten her locks for the Ulla Johnson Spring/Summer 2024 fashion show.
Attending the fashion event on September 10, Holmes radiated elegance in a flowing burgundy dress. Her hair was meticulously parted down the center, allowing the ends to gracefully cascade down to her waist. Her glossy brown locks appeared smoother and straighter than ever. The extraordinary sheen of her hair left us wondering about the products she might have used to achieve this pin-straight style. Perhaps a hair gloss was applied post-straightening to enhance the shine, or maybe a trusty heat protectant played a role in creating this silky allure.
Complementing her simple hair styling, Holmes opted for a minimalist approach to her makeup. A shimmery bronze pigment adorned her lower lash line, harmoniously paired with a mauve lip gloss.
While we have grown accustomed to Holmes’s signature wavy hair, it’s worth noting that she is not entirely averse to the flat iron or the allure of a voluminous blowout. In fact, back in late June, she sported a similar sleek hairstyle. The key distinction lies in the extraordinary glossiness of her hair at the Ulla Johnson event, setting it apart from her pin-straight look in June.
With the weather gradually cooling down, it raises the question of whether Holmes will opt for straightened hair more frequently, now that she won’t have to contend with the challenges of heat and humidity. Regardless of her choice, we eagerly await her next venture into the realm of glossy hairstyles.
