Long Hairstyles Tumblr

√

Pushed into the spotlight by the popularity of Sarah Palin (or notoriety of Tina Fey), long hairstyles are making a big comeback!

Long hairstyles have long been a favorite of the young-at-heart as well the jet-set and glamour girls. Whether curly or straight or layered into a shag haircut, long hairstyles exude confidence and up-to-date style. Let's look at several latest trends for the best look with long hair.

Long Hair Updo

Whether you're a supporter or not, you can't argue that Sarah Palin has brought back the business casual, long hair Updo. In the past two months there has been a resurgence of the once popular style. Popularized by its sophisticated and versatile look, the long hair Updo works well with eyebrow length bangs as well as a pull-back and over the ears.

Its versatility comes from the non-nonsense business look when pulled-back with the ponytail folded over or under, as well as the more casual appearance when the ponytail is allowed to hang down.

The greatest versatility of the long hair Updo comes from the classic iconic "let your hair down" option at the end of the day. It allows a transition from business to casual a snap while making curly or straight designs work. As an added bonus, the long hair Updo cools you off during the summer or warmer months. Having hair long enough to give you this flexibility can be a welcome relief on a hot day in a suit!

If you are looking for the "I'm a Governor" or business executive look and want the Family-oriented casual look flexibility, a long hairstyle with a Updo is the perfect look for you.

The Long Curly or Straightened Look

This weekend at our son's Lacrosse game I overheard a conversation between my wife and a close friend. This friend's son has one heck of a head of hair - curly hair...very curly hair in big waves. She commented that if she didn't straighten her hair with hair products or use a flat iron, her hair looked the same - big and curly.

Now, if you didn't know her, this is hard to picture, but she has long (below the shoulder blades) straight and beautifully colored hair.

She has taken a long hairstyle and layered it with the first layer brushing her shoulders and bangs that extend below the ears. This gives her substantial versatility and a range of looks for her long, curly hair.

One, for a casual look she pulls her bangs behind her ears and has the perfect combination of a sorority/soccer mom look - young and playful. With the bangs long enough, she can pull them straight back and pin with a clip, scrunci' or beret. This gives her the business look she is after at PTA meetings and the hair style looks great.

Shaggy Hairstyles

√ Shaggy hairstyles never go completely out of fashion. There's something about a cut that gives you the messy-on-purpose look everyone loves (and continues to love.) The angular edges and pieces that move give an attitude of cool and sexy. Shaggy, or  "shag", hairstyles are a great solution for people who don't want to spend hours getting ready but still want to look trendy and stylish.

Shaggy hairstyles look best on hair colors with a lot of depth. Depth can be created with lowlights and highlights. It is important  you get a beautician who really knows how to give a good cut. While many stylists have the skills, find someone who has some experience.  The shag is a bit more difficult than some might expect. A great cut makes the look much more manageable and easy to style. You will need to go back for a trim often to keep your shaggy hair looking just right.

Most shaggy hairstyles include some sort of bangs that can be custom cut to best compliment your face shape. Never let your hair go flat or look dirty. The key is to look like you didn't try too hard on your hair, but that is still looks amazing.

If you want to define shaggy hairstyles then you should probably refer to messy looks. Shaggy hairstyles became very famous a few decades ago, although they are getting back in vogue lately - especially since increasingly more people want to have a carefree and easy going look.

Shaggy hairstyles are usually worn by people who want to feature a confident and laid back attitude. It is a style that needs minimum maintenance and minimum preparation - before going out. Shags include layers, in general, although the style of layers, their length and their type varies.

Shags work well with all kinds of hair, although typically the finer and thinner hair is not easy to maintain as it tends to weight down after some time. Thinner hair needs some styling products in order to maintain and tame the layers and shags. Generally, shaggy hairstyles need some trimming once in two months or a little less, depending on the length and type of hair. One of their greatest advantages is that the raged ends usually are not that visible, due to the erratic cut.
