Quick and Classy Hairstyles for Long Hair







Quick and Classy Hairstyles for Long Hair

The beauty of long hair is that it can be easily styled and you can try out a different hairdo every day. It will give you an air of unpredictability every morning when you turn up at work with your hair done up differently.
The chignon is the favourite of many a career woman as it is fairly easy to pile hair on top of the head, leaving a few tendrils to charmingly frame the face. There are so many easy and different ways of doing up your hair that you can sport a different chignon every day. All you need is a dozen types of snazzy hair pins, clips, hair bands, and other accessories to match your outfit and even your mood.
The simplest is a no-fuss knot at the nape with a classy pin stuck in it. You could frizz the bun a bit to give it a breezy look. Always let a few strands stray from the knot and around the face, to make it look less severe. If you would like to try something different, select a couple of strands of hair from either side and secure it at the back with a simple rubber band. Hold the rubber band and twist the hair over and over until both the strands of hair look like two braids from either side. Then coil up the rest of the hair so that it rests just above the neck.

Best Haircuts for Long Faces






Best Haircuts for Long Faces

Here we list some tips and haircut suggestions you should carefully go through and follow before having your hair cut:
1. Keep in mind that you need to create width on the sides of your face to minimize the oblong look that you currently have. You need to choose hair cuts which add volume to the sides and stay away from those that create volume over the head making your face seem longer than it already is.
2. Bangs are the easiest way to achieve a balanced look for a long face. Long, side swept bangs will quickly and easily make your face look much less longer and add instant style quotient.
3. Get your hair cut to chin-length. This creates an illusion of width on your face. Chin-length bobs look smart and stylish and are a good option if you are not averse to having a short haircut.
4. Medium or long hair can be treated with curls or waves to add volume. Avoid curls in short layered hair as it will create volume on the top of your head instead of the on the sides and will not give you the desired look.
5. Layered hairstyles are a must if you intend to keep your hair in medium or long lengths. Straight long hair will make your face seem more oblong.
6. 'U' or 'V' shaped haircuts will help in giving width at the sides and hiding away all the length of the hair at the back.
7. In general, try to stay away from very short or very long hair and stay with medium and long-medium hair length.
