When it comes to party hairstyles for Black women with straight hair, there are plenty of chic, elegant, and playful options to explore. Whether you're rocking a sleek, straight look with relaxed hair, a wig, or a blowout, the right hairstyle can completely transform your appearance.

Here are some fabulous straight hairstyles that are perfect for any party or celebration.

This is an all-time classic, a sleek straight hairstyle with a side part. The style works from very formal engagements all the way to casual gatherings. The side parting adds a soft feminine frame around your face and gives a complementary silhouette to your face.

How to Get the Look:

• • Take a flat iron and straighten your hair section by section after having washed and dried it. Don't forget to apply the heat protectant in advance.

  • Use a fine-tooth comb for a deep side parting to create a clean, defined part.

  • Smooth the flyaways with finishing serum to keep things polished and sleek.

  • Tuck the side back behind your ear for a sleek finish and set with a light mist of hairspray to take you through the night.

For those in love with short hair, a straight pixie cut with some volume will do the magic for the night. This is a playful, edgy hairstyle without necessarily being too high-maintenance and oh boy! It makes such a statement. A pixie with just a bit of lift at the roots will add some nice dimension and have you pop at any event with all the eyes turning your way. 

How to Get the Look:

• • Use a blow dryer and a round brush to lift your pixie cut's roots and add some volume to the top.

  • A flat iron will make the sides and back sleek while the top stays a bit more voluminous.

  • Give the crown of your head an extra height and definition with a texturizing spray or mousse.

  • Set it with some hairspray to keep the volume in place and eliminate flatness throughout the night.

If you are rocking long, straight hair, make it glow by keeping it simple yet so glam. The main highlight of this look is to show off your hair's natural flow and length, which is all you would want for a more casual yet fashion-forward party feel. Nothing says glam more than a long straight hair look.

How to Get the Look:

• • Starting with clean hair, blow it out straight with the use of a round brush and a little heat protectant to reduce frizz.

  • When it's dry, take a flat iron to it to make sure the strands are perfectly smooth.

  • Add a center or side part for a touch of structure, then run a bit of smoothing serum through your hair to give it some extra shine.

  • For added oomph, lightly curl ends to add some movement without sacrificing a sleek and smooth top.

Inspired by the iconic looks of Michelle Obama and her famous blowout, this style brings sleekness together with a little bit of volume and bounce. A blowout would be perfect to give it body while still keeping it straight and polished. This is another great style that can work at special events when you want to look effortlessly put together.

How to Get the Look:

• • After washing, blow-dry section by section with a round brush, building volume on the root.

  • After your hair is dry, utilize a large-barrel curling iron or a blowout brush to achieve a smooth finish on the ends while giving them a slight bend for a soft, natural wave.

  • Set with a volumizing spray at the roots and a bit of light-hold hairspray for a fresh, bouncy all-night feel.

  • From the side-parted sleek look to the voluminous blowout, these straight hairstyles are versatile and elegant, perfect for every party setting. You are ready to rule the night in style and confidence.

The half-up, half-down hairstyle is perfect for those who want to keep some length while still having a polished look. It’s playful yet refined, making it a great option for semi-formal gatherings.

How to Get the Look:

• • Divide your hair into two sections, top and bottom. Secure the top section with an elastic band or small hair clip.

  • For added volume, tease the crown area of the top section before securing it.

  • If you want a bit more texture, use a curling iron to add soft waves to the bottom section of your hair.

  • Set the style with a light mist of hairspray to ensure it stays in place throughout the night.

  • For a more festive look, add a decorative clip or bow where the top section meets the bottom, or let it be sleek and simple for an understated elegance.
