1. Double Buns

Double buns are a super cute and girly hairstyle that can be created in several ways. Wear them high on the head, to the side, or low, and the look can be achieved by twisting the hair.

2. Twisted Bun

A twisted bun is an excellent alternative to the classic bun hairstyle created by incorporating twists into your look. You want to twist the hair on either side of the face and then pull it back into a bun. With long hair, you have a lot of versatility with styling, making this look easier to achieve. The great thing about pulling the hair back and away from the face is that it can achieve a more polished appearance, which is ideal for formal occasions or special events. You can pair it with a middle part to draw attention to the face and complement its symmetry.

3. Low Rolled Bun

The low bun has a timeless look and is attractive to women of all ages. It is simple to achieve but looks incredibly stylish, creating a neat and polished look ideal for formal settings. It is also an extremely versatile look that works with all hair textures, although it will be easier to achieve a more structured appearance on straighter hair types. Long hair will make this hairstyle even easier to achieve. You can also leave a few strands of hair loose around the face to frame it, which is incredibly flattering.

4. Half Bun

The half bun is excellent to wear with long hair because it allows you to show off your length while keeping the hair away from the face. The look is achieved by creating a half up half down hairstyle, pulling the hair into a simple bun. You can leave a few strands of hair to fall around the face to soften the features or pull it away completely for a sleek finish. You can also experiment with the bun, opting for a sleek, wrapped bun or creating a messy and unstructured appearance. Tie it with a hairpin, or opt for a 90s approach and secure it with butterfly pins or a large scrunchie.

5. Twisted Crown

The twisted crown is ideal for achieving a pretty and romantic braided style. It wraps around the head, but instead of using a plait, it is created with twists. The look is relatively easy to achieve and super feminine. You can leave the rest of your hair down to show off your texture and length or work all of the hair into an updo for a special occasion like an outdoor or rustic wedding. Long hair gives you versatility with how to wear the hair and makes updos effortless to do.

6. Flower Braid

Why not opt for a flower braid for a fun and feminine braided hairstyle? This look is defined by the flower shape that the hair creates. Long hair is best for all braided hairstyles and updos because you have so much versatility, plus it is easier to braid longer hair. You can pull the hair back, away from the face, and focus the bun in the center, leaving the rest of the hair down for a half up half down approach. This is a pretty option that is ideal for special occasions and is easier to create than you might think.

7. Beach Wave Curls

Beach waves are soft waves in the hair, making it look like you have just stepped off the beach. They have a slightly messy appearance and are a lovely way to show off your hair’s natural texture. The waves will create volume and give the hair movement, which is incredibly flattering. This style is also complemented by balayage, creating a sun-kissed finish that will lighten the hair and brighten your appearance. Style the hair so that waves will fall loosely around the face, creating a framing effect that will highlight your features.

A French braid is achieved with the overhand braiding technique and appears smooth and flat. Another defining feature is that it starts at the crown of the head. There are various ways to style your braids, and they will work well with most hair textures; the curlier your hair, the more unstructured and messy the braids will look, but this can also be part of the appeal for a laidback aesthetic.

14. Fishtail Braid

The fishtail braid is created by weaving two strands; it looks similar to other braided techniques, but the defining feature is the two strands instead of the classic three. The braid is especially suited to long hair, which lets you show off the pattern. It is also much easier to braid than shorter hair.

15. High Ponytail

The high ponytail is a look that is all about drama. With long hair, it will be even more noticeable because it sits high on the head, with length in the back. This effortlessly chic style makes an impact and looks best when all the hair is pulled away from the face. All hair textures can be pulled into a high ponytail, but it looks most effective with straight, sleek hair to create a polished finish.

“alignnone wp-image-313624 size-full” src=”data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=” http:=”” alt=”High Ponytail Long ” width=”800″ height=”460″ data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=”https://www.tipsclear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/1657800541_706_20-Cute-and-Easy-Hairstyles-for-Long-Hair-2022.jpg”/>

16. Low Ponytail

The low ponytail is ideal for those who want to achieve a more relaxed and carefree finish. Long hair gives you versatility with styling, and there are many ways to wear your ponytail, but keeping it low is comfortable and casual.

The low ponytail can be finished in several ways, including wrapping the hair around the elastic or adding elastics to the length of the ponytail to keep it in place and create a bubble braid.

The half up half down hairstyle is one of the most simple but beautiful looks you can choose. It can be created to look messy and unstructured or styled to appear neat and polished. It is also an updo hairstyle that works with all hair textures and types and is especially great on long hair as you have more versatility with how you style it. You can wear the hair in a braided style at the top for a more formal finish or pull it into a simple bun or ponytail. This is also a look that is great for showing off statement jewelry.

18. Vintage Hairstyle

You can take inspiration from the past with a vintage hairstyle like glamorous curls for a sophisticated and ultra-feminine style. These large, defined curls will create a romantic appearance and can soften your features. Long hair gives you more versatility with styling, letting you pull the curls into a structured updo or opting to leave them loose, falling around your face and framing it.

19. Box Braids

Box braids are a protective style that can be created short or long but will be more noticeable and have more drama when worn long. With long hair, they demand attention and look feminine and cool. To achieve the look, the braids are sectioned into squares, giving them a boxy appearance. The style can last four to six weeks, depending on how you care for them, and are great for reducing grooming time and taking a break from heat styling. Box braids can also facilitate natural hair growth by reducing friction and preventing breakage.

“alignnone wp-image-313621 size-full” src=”data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=” http:=”” alt=”Box Braid Long ” width=”800″ height=”460″ data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=”https://www.tipsclear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/1657800542_175_20-Cute-and-Easy-Hairstyles-for-Long-Hair-2022.jpg”/>

20. Crimped Hair

An 80s trend that has enjoyed a comeback is crimped hair, which is an excellent look if you have longer locks. The technique creates an unnatural appearance of waves with an angular Z pattern which gives the hair an unusual texture. It is a look that demands attention and will be especially noticeable on long hair, letting you create a mermaid appearance and really show off the length of your hair. You can experiment with how you add crimping to your hair, opting for a retro approach by adding it all over or focusing it on only a small section for a more wearable and versatile finish.
