#1 Braid Wrap

Written by Irene Bredthauer

This boho chic hairstyle is long and wavy. These silky strands would make any mermaid jealous! The finishing touch of this hairstyle is the tiny crown braid. The last added element of the braid makes this hairstyle unique and special and it’s so easy to do!

How To Style:

1. Part hair deeply to one side and brush through.
2. Use a curling iron or a curling wand to create soft waves in the hair.
3. Grab a tiny section of hair to braid on one side of the head.
4. Braid it down, then wrap the braid across your forehead and secure with a bobby pin.

Recommended Products:

Play up those beachy waves with some sea salt spray like the one from Aquage. Use it for volume, thickness and hold.

Best Face Shape and Hair Type:

Longer oval or rectangular shaped faces will be broken up and balanced out with this forehead band. Medium to thick amounts of wavy hair is best.

Tip:

To save time in a pinch, purchase a faux braided headband in the same shade as your strands. Throw it on whenever you’re in a gypsy mood!

Take naturally textured hair and kick it up a notch by braiding hair over to the side. It works great at keeping hair up and out of your face, but still shows off your great lengths.

How To Style:

1. Brush hair out to detangle and create a deep side part.
2. Start a loose braid right at the part line and over the forehead.
3. Braid to the back of the head and secure with pins.
4. Pull some hair over your pin to hide it.

#3 Hollywood Glam

Written by Irene Bredthauer

Tight, soft curls and a rolled back fringe create an old Hollywood feel that is absolutely gorgeous. This hairstyle would be great for a formal event where you want your lock tresses to really stand out.

How To Style:

1. Curl your entire head of hair with a large-sized curling iron. Don’t worry about making all the curls uniform as a little variety keeps the look fresh and fun.
2. Grab a section of hair about 3×2 inches in size on top of your head and roll it up and secure with pins. Pin it to the side to create an asymmetrical effect.
3. Create two more swirls on either side of the first roll for more volume and interest.
4. Pin to secure and spray to hold.

Recommended Products:

Oribe Super Strong Hairspray won’t flake and will definitely lock your hair into place.

Best Face Shape and Hair Type:

This hairstyle would look best on round and square shaped faces. Long thick hair that has straight or wavy texture can create this look easily.

Tip:

This hairstyle has a retro feel to it, so match your makeup and outfit to the genre for a complete head to toe look.

#4 Great Lengths

Written by Irene Bredthauer

This super thick side braid is topped off with a teased bouffant. A sleek side part adds more drama and interest to the hairstyle.

How To Style:

1. Start by teasing the top crown area of hair with a fine toothed comb. Really build up some height, then gently brush the top to smooth it out.
2. Tease the lengths of your hair too to create volume and give a messy texture to it. This will help bulk up the strands for when you braid them together.
3. Part hair to the side, then pull all of your hair into a low side ponytail with your hands.
4. Begin braiding a classic three-strand braid and secure with an elastic. Use your fingers to pull out the braid slightly to make it even bigger and looser.
5. Pull bangs to the side and secure with a bobby pin if necessary.

Recommended Products:

Prive Texture Spray! Use it before and after braiding to create the gritty texture needed for this look.

Best Face Shape and Hair Type:

Tip:

Braid in some extensions to really thicken up your braid and make it the bold statement it deserves to be.

#5 Golden Beige Waves

Written by Irene Bredthauer

This golden beige blonde is super adorable set in long cascading curls.

How To Style:

1. Prep damp hair with a volumizing mousse.
2. Blow dry hair using a large barrel round brush for volume.
3. To curl hair, use a large barrel curling iron on one to two-inch strands of hair. Start your curl at the ends and curl up towards the chin, then release. This will help keep your curl loose and soft.
4. Run fingers through hair to break up texture.
5. Finish with a light hold hairspray.

Recommended Products:

#6 Lovely Layers

The midnight colored layers in this cut make this long hairstyle simply divine! Short layers are cut on the top and medium length layers are cut throughout for tons of depth and shape. The hair is curled and bangs smoothed out for an incredibly cute hairstyle.

How to Style:

1. Start with the right cut. Bring in a photo to show your stylist what you’re looking for. The layers on top may look too short, but they are what give this hairstyle that amazing volume and shape.
2. Blow dry hair with a paddle brush. Use a round brush on the short top layers to create intense volume.
3. Grab a large barrel curling iron and put some waves in your strands to finish off your look.

Recommended Products:

Ask your hairstylist about colored extensions. They are so much safer on your hair than bleaching and coloring! There are tons of bright colors to choose from and they add an instant pop of fun.

#7 Ombre Hawk

Written by Irene Bredthauer

This rooty ombre is styled into a super feminine mohawk with a fresh side undercut.

#9 Side-Swept & Sassy

Written by Irene Bredthauer

This lovely long layered hairstyle is amped up with voluminous curls and a sassy side-swept fringe.

#10 On the Side

Written by Irene Bredthauer

This curly long hairstyle is pulled up and to the side for a super cute ‘do. Strands are teased on top for a fresh and modern bouffant feel. Hair is pinned instead of tied so it looks less like a side ponytail. We love it!

How to Style:

1. Diffuse your natural curls if you have them, or get to curling with an iron.
2. When hair is dry and curled, tease the top of the head to add height, then smooth strands up and back into a half up ponytail. Make sure you secure it a little to the left or right so that the finished look is to the side instead of down the center.
3. Add a little more hair to the back and secure with pins. Keep going down the head towards the neck, adding a little more hair each time until all of your hair is pinned.

Recommended Products:

TRESemme Smooth Shine Spray. Spritz this on before and after styling for a shiny glow.

Best Face Shape and Hair Type:

Square, round or heart shaped faces would totally rock this side hairdo. Lots of naturally curly hair is ideal!

Tip:

You may not need to tease the top of your head, depending on how much hair you have. Thick curly hair may be enough to create volume on its own if you just pin the hair back loosely.

#11 Ecaille Elegance

Written by Irene Bredthauer

This “ecaille” (or tortoise-shell effect) is sublime on long layered hair and is perfect for adding dimension and movement to thick hair.

#11 Ebony Curls

Written by Irene Bredthauer

This super long hairstyle is downright gorgeous. Hair is left smooth on the top, then whimsical curls are added halfway down for a fun and flirty ‘do. Hair is parted down the center and the layers are cut from the jawline down.

How to Style:

1. Apply your favorite heat protecting products to strands and comb through.
2. Section up the top half of hair so you can manage the hair better.
3. Curl strands. Start a couple of inches away from the scalp and curl only the ends of the hair.
4. Drop down your top section of hair and repeat.
5. Run your fingers through to break up the curl slightly and give it a more tousled effect.

Recommended Products:

Rub Redken Smooth Lock Heat Glide Serum on your palms, then pull through strands for a silky finish with heat protection.

Best Face Shape and Hair Type:

The fuller layers make this a suitable hairstyle for oval shaped faces. Wavy long hair that is medium to thick is best.

Tip:

Consider popping in some old-fashioned foam rollers. Put them on halfway down the hair and run your fingers through strands when you remove them for a great wave that will last much longer than a curling iron.

Best Face Shape and Hair Type:

#17 The Perfect Finish

Written by Irene Bredthauer

This blonde bombshell looks like she stepped out of an episode of Charlie’s Angels. Her perfectly blown out hair flips back beautifully. The soft wave and more defined curl puts a more modern twist on the style and helps make it fresh.

How to Style:

1. Start with clean, dry hair and part strands right down the center.
2. Grab a large barrel curling iron and curl the layers away from the face for the flirty feathered effect.
3. Use the same iron to curl the ends of the rest of your hair for a soft wavy finish.

Recommended Products:

Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Touchable Hairspray is super lightweight, but will hold hair in place and smells great.

Best Face Shape and Hair Type:

Square shaped faces are ideal. Straight or wavy long hair that is medium to thick is best.

Tip:

Crisp, center parts can be unflattering on some, so just move your part to the side to soften up the look if need be.

#18. Straight to the Point

Written by Irene Bredthauer

Sometimes it’s the most simple styles that are the most beautiful. This super straight hairstyle is full of elegance and shine. These healthy long strands really seem to glow!

How to Style:

1. You guessed it – grab your flat iron and plug it in!
2. Part hair to the side and brush through so strands are tangle-free. Put a little heat protecting serum on your locks while you’re at it.
3. Go through section by section and slide the flat iron over strands for a super sleek result.

Recommended Products:

Mizani Thermasmooth Smooth Guard Smoothing Serum is a lightweight, leave-in thermal protecting serum that helps against heat styling damage.

Best Face Shape and Hair Type:

Long, straight hair is very slimming and elongating, so round or square shaped faces would look awesome with this style. Obviously naturally straight long hair is best, but if you can work a flat iron, then go for it!

Tip:

To make your iron time faster and easier, blow hair dry with a smoothing product and a paddle brush. Smooth out strands as much as you can during your blow dry to make flat ironing a breeze.

#19 Casual Coquette

#20 Pretty and Polished

Written by Irene Bredthauer

This long hairstyle is well past the shoulders and layered beautifully. The layers start past the chin and help add movement to tresses. Hair is blown out for a soft and sleek finish with a little bounce.

How to Style:

1. Part hair to the side. Use the center of one of your eyes as a guide.
2. Apply a smoothing blow dry cream or serum to strands.
3. Blow hair dry with a large round brush.

Recommended Products:

If you have thick, frizzy hair, Sexy Hair Frizz Eliminator helps tame strands and makes them easy to manage while imparting incredible shine.

Best Face Shape and Hair Type:

Long, oval shaped faces are balanced out by the longer layers. Straight hair or long hair with a little wave is best on ladies who have medium to thick hair.

Tip:

Leaving the shortest layer past your chin is a great idea if you pull your hair back into a ponytail often. The layers will still be long enough to reach into the hair tie, but hair still looks fun and stylish when left down.
