Long Hair Styles Gallery

Long hair is back. So, put away all those short and medium bobs and go get hair extensions so you can rock some of these amazing long hair styles.

The secret to many long hair styles is in the haircut, specifically in the layers.  Layers added to a long style help to break up the style and create movement. Add to this a splash of color with highlights and/or lowlights, maybe a hint of side swept bangs and you are rockin a great long hair style.

For men, long hairstyles are back in fashion. Sometimes seen as dirty or grungy in appearance, men with long hair can be quite fashionable if they have the right cut and are willing to take proper care of it. For those men who may consider growing out their hair, there are a few things to consider.

First, how much time and money is available for hair maintenance and second, how do women keep their lovely locks looking great all the time. Any guy considering growing out their hair could benefit from the hair care and styling experiences of women with long hair. For a good number of women, it takes planning, time and effort to achieve the desired look. Men should do the same. Taking proper care of long hair, including shampooing, conditioning, combing, blowing out, styling, and applying product is essential to making the look work. Unwashed, untamed hair is not attractive. If all this sounds like too much work, then growing out your hair is probably not a good idea. Hair products cost a pretty penny, as do salon visits. Regular visits to the stylist are very important to maintaining hair health.

Big Hair Styles

In case you were wondering, the big, full, long and layered hair style hasn't gone anywhere.  Cheryl Cole recently was seen with this very glamorous style.

Create this style on your own by first applying a volumizing hair product and/or a root volumizer product to damp hair.  Blow dry the hair using a large round brush. Direct all layers down and under.

When the hair is completely dry, add soft waves throughout using a medium barrel curling iron or hot rollers.  To finish off the style and create the height in the crown area, take small sections of hair and gently back comb them and smooth over the top with your fingers.

Bangs are Hot AGAIN This Year

It is the return (as if they went anywhere) of the hair bang. Many celebrities are adding a full hair bang to their hairstyle for an updated look.  Wispy and side swept bangs are also popular.  See Liz Hurley, photo left.

This siren of the screen carries off this classy look to perfection. Liz's hair has been layered to create a soft and full style which boasts body and bounce. The soft bangs have been parted on the side to create a softer look for the face, and is a flattering option for longer face shapes and high foreheads.
