Cute long hairstyles can soften harsh features, balance facial proportions, and make you appear youthful and fresh. Plus, they require less maintenance than shorter haircuts! Explore a 1950s-inspired side sweep with romantic waves to add volume and height. It works equally well on straight or wavy hair types and adds visual interest when worn as part of a long bob with balayage highlights.
Half-Up/Half-Down Style
The half-up/half-down hairstyle is an elegant classic style that complements any face shape and is highly versatile for any occasion. Pull your locks back into a delicate braid or leave them loose to show off natural ombre locks; this adorable half-up/half-down style looks incredible with any outfit! Substitute traditional French and boxer braids with an unconventional, feminine braid that runs vertically down your strands instead. Celebrity hairstylist Lacy Redway used this look on Laura Harrier for the BlacKkKlansman premiere, and it’s something worth trying if you want to add feminine charm. Create a romantic look with a braided headband or tiara to complete your look and bring out its beauty. This gorgeous hairstyle will accentuate facial features while drawing attention to any makeup you might wear, such as eye shadow.
Loose Ponytail
Ladies with medium lobs or short bob cuts can add instant cuteness to their look with a low ponytail at the nape of their neck, then wrap one strand from their crown area around it for instant cuteness. Brush through to remove any significant tangles before creating this quick accessory. This look can take a leap forward by accessorizing with some fun hair accessories. A colorful scrunchie or bow is a great way to add extra flair to your ponytail look! This captivating hairdo pairs beautifully with curtain bangs. To recreate it, backcomb the crown section to add volume before tying your locks in a low ponytail at the nape and twisting facial framing strands for an adorable princess look.
Side-Sweep with Romantic Waves
A side-sweep with romantic waves brings femininity to any look, particularly for those with finer locks; it adds volume for fuller-looking locks. Medium to long-length hair works best in this hairstyle, which makes it suitable for formal events. Apply mousse to tangle-free hair and comb through to achieve this cute look. Next, use your rat-tail comb to create a deep side part on one side; secure with bobby pins for maximum side-swept style. Add extra drama to this look by styling face-framing curls – an increasingly popular style at red-carpet events and weddings. Just be sure to use thermal protectant spray before styling your strands!
Layered Haircut
If your hair is thin and needs volume, try asking your stylist to add soft layers. These will eliminate bulk, create movement and texture, and finish by styling with Matrix Miss Mess Dry Texturizing Spray to give yourself an effortless siren look. If your face-framing balayage highlights are too sharp for your liking, ask your stylist to use a cutting technique. This adds texture and dimension to any haircut! Layered hair can make any style more fashionable. For straight locks to look more stylish, consider updating their style with two-tiered lobs; this cut works on all shades but especially well on medium strands. With some light balayage shades to complement their natural color, you’ll have Instagram-ready locks!
Soft Waves
This gentler take on beachy waves is ideal for women with dark blonde or balayage highlights who want something more polished than just-stepped-off-the-beach messy locks. Spritz texturizing spray on roots and ends for loose, soft waves with beautiful textures – an effortless look awaits you! YouTube beauty vlogger HeyKali provides instructions for creating this look using a flat iron instead of a curling iron, making glossy locks with a healthy shine and beautiful pin curls on one side for an asymmetrical finish. This feminine yet playful style complements most face shapes and is perfect for brunch with the ladies or an intimate evening date!
