Trendy Long Hairstyles

Long hairstyles have made their way back on the scene in recent years. With so many ways to wear long hair, it's best to know what's in and what's hot.

Considerations

Young or old, today's trendy, long hairstyles can complement all face shapes, hair types, and age groups. Depending on your personal preference, there is no reason that a long hairstyle cannot be an option for you.

Bangs

Along with the long hair trend, bangs have also made their way back. This combination is great for straight or wavy hair and helps add texture and something extra to long hairstyles. Popular with Indie rock ladies and sophisticates, this style involves a blunt bang, complements most face shapes and can be seen on celebs such as Zooey Deschanel.

Layers and Wisps

If you like bangs but blunt isn't your thing, consider a side swept bang with long, layered hair. The layers are great for helping hair turn up the volume or creating a perfectly tiered, sleek hairstyle (if straightened). Side swept bangs can be worn wispy or a bit heavier. This look is worn well by celebs such as Ashley Olsen.

Wavy, Middle Part

The look of long, flowing locks, parted in the middle, is a very popular and great look for women of any age. Great for layered, wavy, or curly hair, this style allows hair to cascade around the shoulders and back, exposing and framing the face nicely. Celebrities such as Sarah Jessica Parker and Rachel Zoe wear this hairstyle extremely well.

Long and Loose

Worn well by celebs like Beyonce and Gisele, this hairstyle allows hair's natural wave to take shape. Perfect for natural wavy or curly hair, the style involves lots of layers, allowing hair to become looser, more manageable. Layers begin at the top of the head (like long bangs) and are prevalent throughout hair for a ethereal effect.
