Looking your best doesn’t need to take up all your morning time – we have put together stylish hairstyles for long hair that can be done quickly! Check them out.
Be creative when styling your ponytail by adding twists. Doing so is an easy way to add casual elegance to any work look.
Braids
Braided styles can add an office-ready style without adding too much length. Choose a classic chunky box braid, or go wilder with angled partings and an ingenious undercut!
Add braids and an updo for an eye-catching and sophisticated look! To achieve this hairstyle, part your hair down the center, braid each side until they meet at the back of your head, twist into a bun shape, and secure with hair tie.
An effective style option for long hair is to sport a braided mohawk, which can flatter any face shape while drawing attention to your eyes. If you don’t have time to do an elaborate braid, try this quick and easy solution instead: part your hair down the middle and create two low ponytails from their front strands; tie each into low ponytails using bow ties before finishing with an elegant accessory to complete this chic look.
Buns
If a sleek high ponytail just isn’t cutting it at the office, try switching things up with this elegant twisted bun idea. Secure its place by wearing a clip or tying with bobby pins; for added hold use Dove Style Care Extra Hold Hair Spray to complete it!
The low bun is another professional hairstyle designed to keep long locks out of your face while looking cute. Make it even more versatile by adding a headband on top for added style versatility!
Flowy waves and curls may look beautiful, but they should be reserved for casual events like date nights. When looking professional for work, opt for a refined half-up braid with pins. This sophisticated style requires minimal styling time while staying put all day – bonus points if it helps combat frizz!
Ponytails
This timeless office hairstyle never goes out of fashion and looks beautiful when styled on long, thick locks. Perfect for when you need to get out quickly or want an added bit of elegance for special events, this polished style makes an instant impression.
Add an elegant flair to your ponytail by tying a silky bow. This chic addition can instantly elevate a low, messy ponytail into something more formal – as seen on Justine Marjan. To achieve this look, simply tie a strip of fabric (we suggest wide ribbon) around its base before sliding it through to hide elastic.
Make an eye-catching statement in style with this chic half up ponytail by creating two loose low pigtails and braiding them together, then pulling through to your ponytail base before tying a printed scarf in either a bow or simple knot at its peak for an ultra feminine and chic look!
Updos
No matter where your work takes place – be it at home or an office – you must always be prepared to impress, including with refined yet formal hairstyles that match up perfectly with your sophisticated wardrobe.
One of the best professional updos for long hair is a classic chignon. This timeless style works well with both smooth and wavy locks, creating an understated yet sophisticated style that works equally well in formal settings and informal ones alike. To add some drama, wrap a head scarf or add ribbons in colors matching your outfit to add extra depth and character to this timeless classic style.
Pucciarello suggests using texturizing spray and tease the crown of your hair before blow-drying to achieve this charming hairstyle. She then suggests pinning your locks back into a low ponytail using bobby pins to secure it – this makes for a quick way to look professional if you are running late or missing your alarm clock!
