Easy Hairstyles for Long Hair

June 5, 2013

Long hair has its perks, but it can also be a pain to style. We’ve put together a few ideas for when you need easy hairstyles for long hair.

Top Knot

Of all the easy hairstyles for long hair, this one may take the cake for easiest. All you have to do is gather your hair in a ponytail at the crown of your head, and wrap it around into a circular bun. For extra oomph: try a ballerina style bun.

Beachy Waves

After you get out of the shower at night, lightly spritz your hair with hairspray before braiding it in two loose braids. In the morning, shake them out and comb your fingers through your instant beach waves. Can’t get enough of the effortless beach bombshell look? We’ve got tutorials for 9 different beach hairstyles.

Side braid

If you’ve woken up 10 minutes before you’re supposed to be at work, and you need simple, easy hairstyles for long hair, try a side braid. Bonus: this hairstyle can go from casual to elegant, based on what look you pair it with. For more braid inspiration, check out our gallery of celebs rocking variations of the basic braid.

Rumors surrounding my demise have been mostly false. After a brief sojourn out into a strange world-- a world of big green things, and small fuzzy things, and no wireless fidelity to be found! --I have triumphantly returned, lusting for any sort of contact with the interwebz. Lolcats pictures are making me giggle, I'm posting trolling messages on bulletin boards, and I am even-- yes, it shames me to say this --watching AMVs on youtube.

Hopefully I'll get my electronic addiction back under control, and be at baseline nerdiness once again.

So I'm Kevin. I like to play videogames, and make snarky commentary about said videogames. My general approach to games tends to be a more pragmatic one, eschewing scholarly examinations in favor of simple questions like "is it fun?". When not playing videogames, I tend to browse craigslist in some effort to fill the aching hole in my heart. Thus far, nothing on the "free stuff" section has managed to do it, but I still hold onto hope!
