Long
hair can be a hassle if you don’t know what to do with it. We all
want to sport that effortless, slightly wavy year perfectly sleek
hairdo at all times. Movie characters and shampoo commercials make it
look so easy as if we all wake up with perfect hair every day and bad
hair days only happen once in a blue moon. But for us, mortal beings,
we know that’s not the case. So in order to make your life a little
easier here are some hairstyle ideas for long hair that will save any
bad hair day.
Hairstyles For Long Hair
A
messy bun is good but two buns are even better. Long hair is perfect
for creating space buns, low buns or even braided buns for a more put
together and intentional look. They’re easy to do and perfect for
days when you don’t have the time to mess around with blow dryers
and big brushes. Just wrap your hair into buns and you’ll look cute
and ready to face the day.

Ponytails
with a twist have to be the easiest hairstyles for long hair. All of
them take under 5 minutes to do and the result is way more
interesting than a plain boring ponytail. So whether you choose to do
a twisted rope ponytail or one with a small side braid to zhuzh it up
a bit, or maybe you’ll go for that inverted ponytail with a twist –
just know it’ll be worth it.

Simple Hairstyles For Long Hair
In
my mind, the simplest hairstyles for long hair are half updos. That
way you can get the top layer of your hair to behave and look as
voluminous or as sleek as you want while leaving the bottom layer
down which looks very effortless. Top buns, twisted half up half down
hairdos and half braids are all good choices.

When
you think cute you also think flowers, bows and braids right? Braided
crowns are a great way to make any hairstyle seem cute. Making bows
out of your hair is actually surprisingly easy and you can make a
flower crown from your own hair by twisting braids into a little
rosette.

Curly Hairstyles For Long Hair
The
main complain most curly-haired people have is frizz and out of
control volume. Well here are a few hairstyle ideas that might work.
Half up half down hairdos are great for taming the roots of your hair
while embracing the voluminous curls. And sleek low ponytail with a
poofy end is the epitome of chic if you ask me.

When
you have long thin hair you have two options. You can embrace the
fact that it’s thin and do sleek hairdos. Or you can curl it to
create more volume and twist it up – that way it’ll look like
you’ve got much thicker hair. For a fuller ponytail, you can also
do the double pony where you do two ponytails one under the other.
Braiding your hair and then pulling at the braid sides to make it
fuller works wonders too.

Hairstyles For Long Thick Hair
Elegant loose buns look amazing on thick long hair. Thick boxer braids look especially nice and can work for both a casual run to the gym or a fancy occasion. Thick hair also tends to just look good when let down in soft waves. A great way to make thick long hair look fresh is to do a soft balayage so there’s more depth to your hairstyle.
