Cute hairstyles for long hair are an effective way to flaunt your natural waves while still looking put-together and elegant. Try a sleek chignon, messy updo, or braided crown for formal events.
Twisted Bun
A twisted bun is an elegant and delicate style perfect for dresses and blouses that exude femininity and look incredibly complete with volumizing products that thicken your mane. Doing a beautiful updo doesn’t require professional stylists – all you need are some bobby pins to secure a twisted bun and create a deep side part – perfect for weddings or other upscale events! A twisted bun pairs perfectly with any piece of jewelry that will reflect light, making this hairdo an eye-catching style for work or workout attire.
Waterfall Braid
A side waterfall braid could be the answer if you’re searching for an attractive yet casual hairdo. Easy to achieve and perfectly suitable for any event, from black-tie galas to casual days out – remembering how beautiful it frames a veil when worn by brides or bridesmaids! Make a deep side part and divide your hair into three equal sections. Braid each until it reaches the back, adding an additional coat from the front piece into the back section as you braid until it gets the desired length and secure it with clear elastic. Combine rose gold highlighting with your waterfall braid to create an eye-catching hair color look that brings out all your hues. This style works equally well on blondes and brunettes alike!
Top Knot
For an elegant yet effortless look that won’t go flat, try a top knot. Like its waterfall braid counterpart, the top knot looks stunning and will command everyone’s attention. To achieve a topknot hairstyle, start with your hair in a high ponytail and bend its front pieces upward. Gather chunks of hair and weave it into the base of the ponytail without using an elastic. Continue doing this until you reach the nape of the neck. Add an eye-catching element to this look by tying two space buns. For added texture, use wave spray before creating your buns to give more definition to this updo – perfect for an outing with friends! This style also makes a statement!
French Twist
This cute hairstyle for long hair offers a playful variation on the classic French twist. It creates an undone and more playful version than usual that will turn heads wherever you go! A great way to dress up your look and draw admiring glances wherever you go, it will elevate any ensemble and bring attention wherever it goes! Gillen recommends using a leave-in conditioner or spray-on conditioner to achieve this sleek look, along with using a rat tail comb to create a deep side part, pulling back both sides into tight French twists, lightly tease the top to soften and add volume, as well as lightly tease at the roots for volume and soften the look. Bosque suggests achieving this look by blow-drying and flat ironing your hair before creating a loose low bun with a side braid. R Co ROOTLIFT should help increase volume at your roots while simultaneously minimizing flyaways.
Looped Bun
The classic low bun is an eye-catching style for long hair that works exceptionally well on straighter strands. This formal yet traditional style makes an impressive statement at special events or gatherings. Add an exciting pop of personality with Riva La Diva’s playful style for an eye-catching finish! Simply section off small sections from both your head’s right and left sides before creating several quick twists in short intervals. Next, take a small team from each twist and wrap it around the base of your ponytail using a hair tie. Mist your style with hairspray to control any flyaways and add shine, before finishing it off, dabbing some smoothing cream to highlight its twisted shape and emphasize your looped bun!
