Long hair can be both a blessing and a curse. It takes longer to style compared with medium hair, but it also allows for more options. We’re not going to dive into what products to use for your hair, as you know those better than anyone since all hair types have their own needs and requirements. Whether you’re a woman or a man, we have you covered with some cool hairstyles for long hair.

Some of these are easy enough to make on your own, others you’ll need help from a friend or a hairdresser; at the very least you have some inspiration to take with you to the salon.

13. Summer Hairstyle

This look involves some lace which embellishes a pretty updo. It is great for a sticky, hot summer day or a time when you need your hair to be swept back and out of the way. Head over to the Skunkboy blog to find out how to achieve this pretty look yourself.

14. Bun with a Braid

We love mixing things up and creating a bun and adding up a really cute braid wrapped around it goes well with our idea of “easy.” It’s only going to take a few minutes to put this together.

15. Bubble Ponytail

This long hair look is great for everyday if you want to liven up a plain old ponytail. Here, you’ll begin with a low pony and then use elastics to create sections which are then loosened gently. Check out the full photo tutorial over at Stylishlyme.

16. Tuck and Tame

This pretty style is called the “tuck and tame,” thanks to its simple technique. For this, you’ll need an elastic headband which you will then tuck the hair into. Make your way over to She Uncovered to find out exactly how to achieve this bobby pin-free look.

17. Half-Up Pull Through Braid

This stunning style is actually easier than it looks to accomplish. It is made by combining two pull-through braids, and draping them around your head. Make your way over to the Breakfast At Vogue blog to find out how to do this style on your own hair.

18. Ariana Grande Inspired ‘Do

If you’re a fan of Ariana Grande, then you’ll love this next hairstyle. This look is parted in a V shape on the top of the head, with a mini ponytail perched on top of the head. Make your way over to Hot Beauty Health to find out how to execute this style yourself.

19. Extra Long Ponytail

Transform a regular old ponytail into a super long one, without using extensions! The key to this style is to create two smaller ponytails, and then to meld them together. Make your way over to La Petite Noob to check out the simple instructions.

20. Knot and Toss

This half-up hairstyle is called the “knot and toss” because of its relaxed partial knot appearance. You’ll create this look by starting a knot of sorts with half of your hair and then pinning it in place. Check out the full tutorial over at Pretty Plain Janes.

21. Beachy Waves

Give your locks a tousled, lived-in sort of look with these easy beachy waves. This style is great for second-day hair too. Just grab a curling iron and some hairspray to get started. Head over to Bre Pea to check out the full tutorial and additional photos.

22. Low Braided Bun

You’ll need very thick hair for this one… or you might consider adding extensions for a bit of extra volume. Simply braid your hair and secure it in a bun shape. Make your way over to Breakfast At Vogue to find out exactly how to achieve this look.
