Selena Gomez at the 23rd Annual Imagen Awards

When you straighten your hair to give it that sleek look prior to styling, be sure to let it completely cool off by either waiting 15 minutes or running a slow speed dryer on the cool setting.  The bonds need to reform before you can successfully reform them into any curls or twists with irons, etc.  This silky style on Selena Gomez is worn heavy and brought back in a loose fitting formal that allows some long tendrils and sections for a graceful look.
