Long Hairstyles


Long Straight Hairstyles

With long hair, there are limitless hairstyle options. Yet, one of the most appealing is also the simplest. Wearing the hair long and straight is easy, natural and very beautiful. It can be without accessories as it can be done with tresses and other nice combinations (e.g. swept bangs or short curled bangs). Long and straight hairstyles are very easy to make and maintain. They fit virtually every known hair type. Straight hair shines better too, since light reflects better on a flat surface. On the downside, however, their simplicity may not be for someone looking to make a statement. There is some level of care that is also needed and the problem of split ends is a definite possibility. Very long hair can take forever to wash and dry. With humidity, it also tends to get frizzy. Some popular long straight hairstyles are described below:

Oval Haircut

Let’s start with something unusual! The oval haircut consists of hair cut in a rounded shape at the top. The hairline is a curvature, just touching the eyebrows at the corners. The ears are completely covered. The hair falls straight down at the back and may stop at the shoulders or go slightly beyond. This little piece of hair engineering necessitates expert hands as it requires precision. The result is a face framed in a perfect oval.

Long Razor Haircut

Razor cuts look much better on people with thick hair. For thin haired people, and even people with wavy or curly, razor cuts make the hair look droopy and frizzy. For the best effect, razors are not applied everywhere. They are applied in selective places to provide texture. With a razor cut one can achieve steep tapering layers that give an airy look. Razors have the advantage of sliding through the hair and removing only the bulk. Razor cut styles include side swept bangs and shag-like bobs.

Long Bob Hairstyle

This has been one of the biggest trends of year 2009. Long bob hair is bluntly cut just above the shoulders. It is usually done with stacked layers at the back to add dimension. The hair ends can be thinned out with a razor to give an edgy appearance. It can also be wavy or flat-ironed.

One Length

One length refers to hair that is not layered and falls straight to the shoulders and past. Different styles would fit this category including loose bouncy waves and natural braids.

Ponytails

This hairstyle is made for people with long hair. Short or even medium length hair would find it difficult to sustain ponytails (without sprays). Ponytails are classic and easy to achieve. They are life-savers on bad hair days. They can be fun and sophisticated. They go with many face shapes and can be easily personalized. They look great on athletes and women of all ages. They can take up any position on the head, producing very different looks (e.g. sideway styles, messy looks, double tails and others). Very little maintenance is requires, save some conditioning if the hair gets tangled up easily.
