Hairstyles to Try if You Have Long Hair

There’s always something fun and new to do with hair. Over the decades, there have been all types of hair trends, from short sleek bobs, to bouffant styles and loose curls, to crimped, teased manes. These days, hair trends take some inspiration from the past, but they also revamp it in a new way that’s totally modern. There are plenty of fresh hairstyles that are being seen everywhere from the runway to social media that are perfect for long hair. Leave your hair long, nourish it with our quality options for shampoo and conditioner and try out these fun, gorgeous styles for long hair.

Long and Loose

 If you take care of your hair, using the best sulfate free shampoo and conditioner, your hair is probably in great condition, and you should be proud of it. Show off your healthy hair in all its natural beauty with a long loose look that never really goes out of style. After shampooing and conditioning your hair (using thickening shampoo if you have thin strands), blow dry with a heat protectant and use a large-barreled curling iron to achieve loose waves. A texturizing spray can help add a bit of interest and keep this look from being too polished.

 Messy, Elaborate Braids

 Breads are one of the most versatile hair styles there are. They can be as simple or as complex as you want, and they can fit every occasion from a music festival to a black-tie gala. We’re loving the look of more elaborate braids, like fishtail braids, that have a little bit of an edge in the form of added texture and body.

 The Topknot

The topknot should be in every woman’s arsenal of hairstyles. It’s simple, requires little preparation, and can work even the day after your wash your hair. Take the classic topknot to the next level and keep it a little messy, with plenty of height, and a few loose ends for an interesting mix of textures.

 The Half-Up Topknot

The classic topknot gets a modern, quirky twist when you combine it with a half-up look. Achieve this hairstyle by taking a top portion of your hair (it’s up to you how much hair you want to use) and knotting it on the top or slightly toward the back of your head. This look works with straightened hair and loose, natural waves.

 Return to the 80s (in Moderation)

The looks of the 80s have been in and out several times now, so it’s no surprise that some elements of 80s hairstyles are trending again. Remember to go big, but not frizzy, and try crimping, without making your hair look crunchy or unhealthy. Using a few style tips from the 80s but not going overboard is the key to making this look work for you.             

At LaLa Daisy, we’re all about having fun with hair. Remember it’s important to nourish your hair first with the best shampoo and conditioner options before trying these or any other styles. Healthy hair is one thing that never wanes in popularity and it’s the perfect starting point for your next show-stopping hair look.
