Trendy hairstyles for long hair

Hairstyles can make a lot of difference, be a cute chignon or a classy ponytail, there's a lot to flaunt and experiment every day. And if you have long hair, then we have the easiest DIY hairstyles for you. Here are five hairstyles that you would love to flaunt:

2/6

​The basic ponytail

This hairstyle will keep the long tresses in place and won't irritate your neck. For a sleek ponytail, straighten your hair and then neatly comb back into a high pony. There are many variations for this hairstyle: centre parting, side parting or the low ponytail. Style tip: Use a metallic clip or an eye-catching accessory instead of a scrunchie.

3/6

​Side ponytail

This 80's style works best with soft curls and hair wrapped around base. To achieve retro curls, tie a side pony and start curling the ends and top it off with a setting spray.

4/6

​Side-parted open hair

A polished side parting can make all the difference and there’s no need to hit the salon for this hairdo. Use tail comb and make a deep side part and tuck the other side behind the ear. Spritz some shining spray to make it look sleek and posh.

5/6

​Top knot

This celebrity favourite hairstyle is the go-to hairstyle for many. For messy top knots to sleeker versions, there are a lot of ways to work this hairstyle. For a tight top knot, pull back your hair up into a high ponytail and secure it with a rubber band. Now twirl this ponytail and wrap around the base clockwise and secure the hairdo with some bobby pins. For the classic Audrey Hepburn top knot, use a flashy accessory to adorn the bun.

6/6

​Beach waves

This effortless style doesn’t require much time. For undone beach waves, use a curling iron and random sections of hair. For a messier version, spray some texturiser and scrunch your hair for the effortless waves.
