How to change your hair style

You and your long hair are not parting ways any time soon. You love your length and it’s here to stay. But sometimes it’s easy to fall into a rut with long hair—same old, same old all the time. Here are 6 trending hairstyle ideas for long hair, guaranteed to lift you out of your great lengths routine!

 

 

CARAMEL BALAYAGE

Long hair and balayage were made for each other. The balayage hair color technique literally sweeps highlights onto the ends of the hair—placed where the sun would lighten your locks naturally. A skilled hairstylist will place the highlights carefully and artistically—with lots of bright pieces around your face. Many brunettes think balayage is only for blondes, but this hue proves them wrong. A cool caramel is the perfect highlight color for a rich, brown base.

Hot long hair tip: Brunettes can just say no to unwanted brassiness in their highlights, thanks to blue shampoo. This product neutralizes the icky orange that can emerge over time and keeps your hair color cool and clear.

 

 

BOW TIE STYLE

Long hair was made for big, puffy braids, and this season, braids are getting a new twist. Fashion runways showed lots of long hair adorned with adorable, floppy hair bows and now these embellishments are everywhere. Use a bow to secure your braid or ponytail or as a headband. Bonus points if it complements your outfit to perfection.

Hot long hair tip: Braids stay in place longer if your hair isn’t too silky. Use a salt-infused spray to rough-up your texture before braiding.

 

 

CLOUD COVER

If you’ve been eyeing all the gorgeous grey hair color tones on Instagram for a while, now’s the time! Indulge yourself in a trendy cloud of silvery grey hair. Be sure your hair stylist creates a darker base that floats into lighter dimension on the ends, rather than a solid silver or grey shade, which can look too artificial.

Hot long hair tip: Keep your silver shiny and cool with regular use of a purple shampoo. It will prevent unwanted yellow tones or dullness.

 

 

WHISPER WAVES

Not quite curls, not quite beach waves, this modern shape gives long hair natural-looking movement. To create this hair texture, wind random sections loosely around a styling cone, or the closed barrel of a curling iron. Take vertical sections and omit the ends. Don’t worry about curling every hair—it’s better if the wave pattern is inconsistent.

Hot long hair tip: To keep your pretty pink hair color looking fresh, shampoo your as infrequently as possible. When you do shampoo, use cool, not hot, water. Your scalp and hair will stay fresh in between shampoos with a dry shampoo.

 

 

PLAYSKOOL BANGS

Remember when you used your dull little toy scissors to cut your own bangs? Who knew that kindergarten style would one-day be one of the hottest looks for long hair? Also known as micro bangs or baby bangs, a choppy little fringe gives your long hair a rebellious edge!

Hot long hair tip: After cutting bangs of any length, use the points of the scissors to nip into the edges for an airier result.

 

 

ROMANTIC WAVES

Going somewhere special? Try these luxurious, glamorous waves that look so soft and pillow-y! To get the look, place a curling iron at a horizontal angle and wind horizontal sections of hair around the barrel. Clip hair into place until it cools, then comb through with a wide-tooth comb and gently backcomb.

Hot long hair tip: Keep deep waves shiny and reflective with regular use of a lightweight oil treatment formula.
