Long hair may seem difficult to manage, but that doesn’t have to be true! There are plenty of elegant long-hairstyle options that will keep you looking gorgeous.
Use a deep side part.
Create the illusion of lengthening by using a deep side part. For a fun twist, roll your bangs and twist them up into a bun with twisted braids, perfect for Halloween. Waterfall braids can also create elegant formal looks that are easier to make than expected.
Deep Side Part
No matter your haircut, whether it’s a bob, pixie cut, or long Rapunzel locks, a deep side part can make you look breathtaking. Style your locks with wavy or smooth coils for a sophisticated and beautiful look you can flaunt at any party or gathering. Complete the look with minimal makeup and red lips for an elegant touch. Incorporating a deep side part with choppy bangs can add extra dimension and edge to your style.
Lemonade Braids
Add color to your lemonade braids for an eye-catching edge. Bold hues help define your face and add a sense of beauty that cannot be missed. This style is also great for workouts, as it keeps your hair off your face while still looking fabulous. Lemonade braids are thin cornrows woven together and then swept to one side, tied loosely at the ends. If you have long, lush locks, this hairstyle should be tried.
Big Statement Bun
If you’re looking to make an impressionful statement, consider the Big Statement Bun. This striking hairstyle pairs beautifully with straight locks for an impressive formal appearance that works great with all hair textures. Add braids to draw attention to your eyes and face for an instant highlight of your features. Pair this look with a bow accessory for added cuteness, perfect for proms, weddings, or any special event. Wrapping loose strands around the bun can give it a more informal appearance.
Bouffant Hairstyle
For an elegant and sophisticated look, try the bouffant hairstyle. This beautiful formal look can make an impactful statement at any special event or celebration. Ask your stylist for a face-framing cut with layers that flow into longer lengths. Add an edge with teased top-knot hair or butterfly clips for extra drama.
Fishtail Braids
The fishtail braid is an eye-catching way to keep long hair in check and look chic. For this feminine style, begin with a low ponytail and braid one side into a fishtail. Add beads or pearls into the braid for an eye-catching finish. This adorable side-swept fishtail braid works best on straight locks with some texture. If your locks are too smooth, add dry shampoo or texturizing powder for volume and easier braiding. To create this captivating look, divide your hair into two sections and create a fishtail braid with the back half. Incorporate pencil-sized areas from the front of one unit into the other braid for an intricate and stunning finish.
