5 Easy and Cute Hairstyles for Long Hair

Long hair looks beautiful and flattering on many different women. However, styling long hair can sometimes be a daunting task. Do you wear it sleek and straight? Or should you go for intricate braids with an interesting design? You may spend a lot of time mulling over the different options and still can’t decide on a cute hairstyle for your long hair.

While your hairstyling options are endless, there are five kinds of hairdos that have tremendous popularity in hair salons. Part of what makes these hairstyles so successful is their ease and effortlessness. Here are the five cute hairstyles for long hair that you might enjoy:

1. Layered Hairstyles

Layered hairstyles are extremely popular. Adding a few layers will make your hair light enough to ease hair movement, while making sure the ends do not look over-layered and untidy. You can go for platinum blonde layering, where the dark roots merge into white blonde. This gives you a modern and feminine look. Other popular choices include shaggy hair sections with a deep side part, caramel highlights (especially for those with fuller faces), feathered layers, and v-cut layers.

2. Simple and Sleek Hairstyles

Keeping your hair sleek and straight is a great choice when you want a simple, straightforward hairstyle. Whether you have oval, round, heart, or long face shapes, anyone can rock this look! Start by applying your choice of styling crème (such as smoothing serum) and then let your hair air-dry. This way, you prevent unnecessary hair damage and reduce the time it takes to dry. Finish it off with a round brush, and you are all set.

3. Twisted Bun Hairstyles

You don’t have to style your hair elaborately every time you attend a formal party or event. With a twisted bun, all you need is ten minutes to put everything together. This relaxed hairstyle looks super detailed, but it’s quite easy to pull off. First, make sure you have the essentials: a hairbrush, bobby pins, and hairspray. Next, brush out all the knots to untangle your hair before parting it vertically through the middle to create two sections.

Tie each section into a shoelace knot to the back of your head. Then, take the tail-end of each hair division on your right and braid it in the same direction all the way to the end. Roll the twisted section to create a circular bun around the knot, then use bobby pins to secure it firmly on your head. Repeat this process for the other hair section. Twisting the hair to the left, spray it lightly, and you are done!

4. Double Ponytail Hairstyles

If you have incredibly long hair, a single ponytail will do just fine. However, if your hair isn’t that long, consider the extra-long double ponytail. These cute hairstyles for long hair look super chic, giving you a youthful and energetic appearance.

To achieve this look, spray your hair with some texturizing spray and then separate your hair into two sections. Next, tie the top part (which doesn’t have to be neat) so you can comfortably work on the lower hair section. You should tie this into a mid-level ponytail at the back of your head. Once done, untie the other hair section.

Then, comb the hair at the top of your head backwards and tie it into a ponytail directly above the first ponytail. Finally, conceal the lower part of the bottom ponytail by fanning out the top ponytail.

5. Braided Hairstyles

This is by far one of the most stylish and feminine hairstyles. It can look stunningly beautiful when you assemble it in the right way. Even though this hairstyle looks complicated, it just requires simple braiding and pinning. After you had a couple of practices, you can easily put together any of these braided hairstyles in no time.

The flower crown braid is one of the more popular braided hairstyles. Begin by brushing back your hair. Take a three-inch section from the top of your head and braid it till the end. Do this for about two more sections of hair selected from either side of the first. From the right, loosely tug all the three braids and start rolling each of them in a circular motion. At the same time, pin the braid down against your head to make it appear like a flower. Finish off the look by using a light-hold hairspray to set the flowers in place.
