Renowned colorist to stars like Idina Menzel, Priyanka Chopra, and Anne Hathaway, hairstylist Jason Backe declares sleek and straight as the vibe for winter. "After eons of beach waves, smoothing hair away from

the face and down the back is fire. Walk into any holiday event and everyone will stop to notice. It’s sexy, dramatic, confident, and elegant—a showstopper for sure!"

If you're in the L.A. area and are having a treat yourself moment, achieve the ultra-smooth look by heading to Starring Salon where you can get an innovative new treatment called The Crown. "It's a breakthrough treatment with five smart molecule technologies, no formaldehyde, and no toxins. It's literally changing the texture game when it comes to keratin-based smoothing treatments," says Backe.
