Hairstyles for Long Hair

Long hair looks lovely. Having shiny, falling locks flatters any face shape or size. There's just one problem, which anyone woman with long hair will happily confirm: washing and drying and styling can take ages! So, as usual, we're here to help with some hairstyles for long hair that will take less time .

But here's a tip - if you want to drastically reduce your time for hair to dry, make sure you invest in a good hairdryer that uses ionic and infra-red technology.

Braided Bun

Separate your hair on one side and braid it into one big braid on the opposite side of your head, starting just behind the ear lobe. Once you braided all your hair, wrap the length of the braid around the base of the braid to make a bun, and secure it with grips. Pick out some loose strands around your head and you're done.

 

Bed-Head Curls

When you curl your hair you don't have to curl the entire lot for it to look good. Instead, choose a few random strands around your head, curl with some good hair tongs, and then use some texturizing spray to create movement through the entire of your hair.

     

 

Use a Hair Bandana

Hair bandanas are amazing for hairstyles for long hair. Simply wrap one around your head from the top of your head to behind your ears, leaving the length of your hair coming out from below. Grab this length of hair and twist it round and round to the ends, then simply fold it up over the back of the bandana and tuck it in. You can secure it with Kirby holds if you wish.

 Random Plaits

The thing with 5-minute hairstyles for long hair is to stay aside from trying to do anything perfect! With this keeping in mind, taking random selections of hair and adding in some plaits is a great way to add some style without worrying about the time it will take. Make sure you have plenty of small hairbands the color of your hair and just plait away. 

Accessorise!

I know this might sound like a cop-out hairstyle idea, but genuinely, a few pretty hair clips will go a long way. Especially if you have naturally curly hair - just grab some hair portions and pin them away from your face with some glitter and sparkle. 

 

Fast Boho

Make two small plaits, one on each side of the head managing the hair that frames your face. Then bring both plaits round to the back of your head and ensure them together using a hairband so you have created a natural headband around your head. Tie the hair around the crown of your head to add some volume and you're good to go.
