Long Hair Styles

Long Hair Styles

Most people love the look of long hair, and for those people who are lucky enough to have a healthy, shiny mane the upkeep involved is well worth the rewards.

Long hair provides a variety of hairstyle options for casual, business and elegant occasions. In fact, the versatility and multiple style choices available for longer hair is incentive enough for many women to grow their tresses long, long, long!

Even the most casual styles can be beautiful when long hair is healthy and shiny. Flowing tresses, allowed to tumble loosely over the shoulders and down the back is a beautiful and classic look that works with everything from jeans and a t-shirt to the standard black cocktail dress. Adorned with a headband, scarf or appropriate hair jewelry or accessory, beautiful long, flowing hair always gets a double-take.

A classic long-hair favorite is the pony tail, which can be as casual or elegant as the occasion calls for. Pulled back and secured at the crown, a top knot or flirty pony tail is cute and comfortable. A classic pony tail can involve pulling back all the hair away from the face, or leaving some hair out to frame the face. Fasten at the back of the neck with a coated band or barrette and allow the pony tail to hang down the back.

Today, women with shorter hair who wish to wear long hairstyles from time to time have the benefit of hair extensions. These can be attached in a salon for weeks of wear, or you can now purchase high quality, affordable clip-on hair extensions to produce lovely, long tresses that can be styled in a multitude of ways.

Extensions are an excellent option for women who prefer the low maintenance of a shorter style for every day, or who have very fine, thin hair that doesn�t have the kind of natural volume that most long hair styles require.

Women with naturally curly hair can show off their beautiful long curls in a multitude of styles with breathtaking results. Beginning with the proper products formulated especially for curly hair, there is nothing more fun that a casual updo with strands of loose curls framing the face and dropping down from the neck. A wide headband can create a dramatic effect by securing the hair off the face at the hairline and allowing the curls to tumble in a free-fall down the back.
