Quick and Easy Hair Styles for Long Hair

Long hair can be defined as hair that hangs past the shoulder blades. Although it goes in and out of fashion, long hair always seems to be around somewhere. These days, celebrities are once again going to the salon for extensions to make their hair look longer. But normal everyday women might get bored of growing out long hair for years and years. So maybe this can help liven things us a bit. Here are three different easy hairstyles for long hair.

Long hair wearers would do well to invest in a set of fast working hot rollers. There are kits that only take 5-10 minutes to curl the hair in fat, sultry curls. Blow dry your hair while the hot rollers heat up. Roll you hair in the warmed rollers, so they are about two inches from your scalp. Use large sizes for waves, smaller for tighter curls. According to the hot roller directions let the hair set for the specified time. When time is up, carefully pull out the curls without ruining the shape, and spray your head with flexible hairspray. You can comb the curls with your fingers to separate them or shake your head upside down to loosen them up. Pantene Pro-V makes a good curl enhancing spray if your hairspray doesn’t hold.

A super quick long hair fixer is the classic headband. Essentially, these are perfect when you want to keep your hair down but out of your face. You can opt for any of the various styles of headbands available. Look for cheap options in Wal-Mart and Target. Any type of hair looks great in a headband. One style is to part you hair on the side and slide the head band over that. If you’ve got bangs you can pull them back or let them come forward. Try teasing the hair right behind the headband to give you hair a little shape.

Another simple and elegant option for people with long hair is the low ponytail. This look is easy and quick and great for bad hair days. Just gather you hair at the nape of your neck and secure the mess with some sort of hair tie. This style can be dressed up with a satin bow or jeweled clasp, or stay casual with an elastic band or hair clip. The tightness of the hair is also adjustable. A sleek gelled down low pony tail gives a completely different look than a loose one with sexy tendrils falling in front. It’s also interesting to tease the front of the crown and spray it with hairspray to give your simple ponytail a sophisticated look. You can also combine looks and use a headband to keep stragglers back from your face.
