No matter your preferred hairstyle, long locks offer plenty of chic hairdos that will suit any face shape and occasion. From wavy shags to braided styles, there will surely be an array of trendy looks perfect for long locks that will complement them beautifully.
Side-Swept Fringe with Long Layers
Opt for a side-swept fringe with long layers for a chic rock ‘n roll style. This look pairs exceptionally well with warm honey-blonde hues.
Blunt Bangs
A blunt bang is one of the hottest trends for long straight hair, adding drama and framing your face perfectly. This dynamic cut works with any style imaginable, from sleek bobs to ponytails, though fine or thick strands might cause unruliness.
Natural Curls
After years of straight hair dominating trends, full, bouncy curls are returning. This wavy look works great for those with thick natural coils, while short and long lengths both work great with this look.
Shaggy Bowl Cut for Thick Hair
For thick hair, consider opting for a shaggy bowl cut featuring subtle layers that allow your curls to shine through. This trendy style is an excellent way to experiment with color as its low maintenance demands enable easy shade changes without damaging your locks.
Layered Rachel
Another trendy cut for long hair is the layered Rachel, made famous by Jennifer Aniston on Friends. This shoulder-length hairstyle is easy to style, suits any face shape, and grows out beautifully. Complete the romantic look by pairing your layered locks with a high half-updo or soft balayage highlights that complement your warm honey blonde hue.
Half-Up, Half-Down
The half-up, half-down hairstyle is an innovative style with endless styling possibilities. This hairdo suits all types and lengths, from romantic braided looks to sophisticated twists and buns that work for work or formal events.
Gabrielle Union’s Box Braids
Gabrielle Union’s version of box braids will undoubtedly turn heads and stand out. Her chunky braid adorning the top of her platinum locks accentuates all of its beautiful tones in her balayage dye job for an impressive effect that will turn heads.
Yara Shahidi’s Zig-Zag Braids
If you’re searching for an edgier take on the half-up, half-down look, take inspiration from Yara Shahidi’s zig-zag braids cascading down her face. It adds a modern touch and gives off that Khaleesi vibe we all adore. Perfect for casual and semi-formal events, this style can completely change your appearance in no time!
Long Shag
Long shags are the current trend among women with long hair who desire an easy-to-style cut. Consult your stylist about adding face-framing layers starting at the chin that gradually transition into longer lengths for a textured, feminine, soft finish that curls easily with oversized irons. Add Pureology Soft Finish hair Spray for a touchable hold with a light, natural texture to complete this rock star look!
Choppy Shag for Thick Hair
If you have thick hair, try a choppy shag style featuring long layers that reach your shoulders. This look straddles the line between shag and mullet for a new twist on Stevie Nicks’ tone from the 1970s era. Its copper-toned fringe adds extra shine while framing your face beautifully.
Mermaid Hairstyles
Mermaid hairstyles have taken the fashion world by storm. This timeless trend pairs well with long shag cuts and thick locks. Your stylist can create this look using blonde balayage or baby lights for low-maintenance coloring that’ll grow naturally through each season.
