For all of recorded human history, long hair has existed.There are a few things to keep in mind when styling your hair whether you wear it up or down.When worn by someone with long hair, simple styles like ponytails can look extra chic.
Step 1: Take your hair's texture into account.
Your natural hair type will affect how easy a style is to create and maintain.It can be difficult to keep long hair volumized if you have straight hair.If you want to add waves to your look, you'll need a curling iron.If you want your hair to fall straight and look longer, you'll have to use a flat iron, keratin treatment, or chemical relaxers.The type of braid that works best for you depends on your hair's thickness.It is more difficult to braid thick hair.Thin hair can be damaged if braids are too thick.
Step 2: Take into account your hair's level of oiliness.
If your hair is dry, you can use hair oils and other hair treatments.It is important to wash hair that is naturally very oily.If you have oily hair, avoid box braids and dreadlocks because they can come apart with frequent washings.
Step 3: Think about the moment.
When choosing a hairstyle, it's important to know what you'll be doing while wearing it.Athletes with long hair can be difficult to keep.If you have long hair and are about to engage in sports, wear a style that will keep your hair out of your face and prevent it from interfering with your movements.Tie-back ponytails, secure buns, and braids are good choices.While most long hair styles are appropriate for women to wear in formal or business occasions, men can be more difficult to pull off.You will most likely need to tie your hair back, either as a simple ponytail or a man bun.
Step 4: Pick a part.
Your part can make or break your look because of the minimalist style.If you mix up your parts, you can change your style easily.Before you cut your hair, take your face shape and style into account.The shape of your bangs depends on the type of part you want to use.Draw your hair to the part you want it to be.Leave your hair out from this line.To hold the part in place, use hair gel or bobby pins at the roots.Taking care not to mess up your new part, style your hair as usual.It takes some time to "train" a new part.Don't expect it to shift immediately, and try a different part before a big event.Even if you have stubborn hair, it can be achieved with the right products.Try to sleep with a few pins in your hair.They may leave a mark on your hair.
Step 5: Decide if you want bangs or not.
When wearing your long hair down, you must take into account bangs.Like the rest of your look, your choice in bangs will be very personal, considering both your facial features and hair type.A straight fringe bang is great for long hair.Many people think fringes are for straight hair, but wavy and curly bangs can also look great in this style.You will need to trim this style often to keep looking your best.Middle-parted bangs don't require as much upkeep.They look great with every hair type.It is possible to add side-swept bangs to your style.This look is difficult to pull off if you have tight hair.
Step 6: The right products should be chosen.
You want to find the products that work best with your hair and create the look you want.It is possible to make your hair look flat if you wear it loose.If you want to properly cleanse your hair, try volumizing.It's a good idea to add a small amount of mousse before curling or drying your hair.Curly hair is easy to dry and benefits from hair oils.If yours is prone to frizzing, this is even more true.Before styling, try oiling your hair.Curl cremes and anti-frizz sprays are available.You can try a few products to find the right one.If you're going to use a curling iron, it's a good idea to hold off on washing your hair for a day.Natural oils will help hold your hair.Before styling your hair, use a heat-protection product and a styling lotion.Before you use a flat iron on your hair, wash and deep-condition it.Keep your hair from being damaged by using heat-protecting products.
Step 7: Curls can be added to your hair.
How you prepare your hair depends on the texture and how you want it to fall.It will take a long time for some hair types to fall past the shoulders.If you want to wear your hair down but don't have the length you need, you can use a flat iron or chemical treatment.Long hair can look great when worn down.If you have fine hair, you don't have to worry about a long style weighing your hair down if it's in curls.If you want that silken look, try using a styling iron.Curl your hair if you want to add volume and texture to it.A curling iron is a quick and easy way to do this.
Step 8: Take care of your hair.
A traditional style like this one can be spiced up with hair accessories.You can pull an outfit together with the right headband, barrette, or pin.If you want a more masculine look, skip the accessories.
Step 9: Do you want your ponytail to be in the middle of your face?
The ponytail looks best with long hair.There are many ways to wear a ponytail.The guide describes a basic middle-height ponytail, but it can be adapted to many other styles.A high ponytail in long hair is a trendy look.A ponytail on the nape of the neck can make you seem mature and down-to-earth.A side ponytail is a simple method of changing your look without a haircut.If you have long and thick hair, pigtails may be necessary to keep it under control.This look is associated with children.
Step 10: Take your hair out at the crown.
Take a section of hair from the back of your head and hold it up.Use a tooth comb to brush the hair downward.Sometimes this step isn't needed.If you have a lot of natural volume in your hair, you should skip this step.
Step 11: Take care of your hair.
Using both hands, sweep your hair back to where you want it to sit.Add any loose strands that you missed by getting all of it together.If you want to keep your hair out of your face during sports, you should include your bangs.If you leave your bangs out of your ponytail, it will look great.
Step 12: Put your ponytail in place.
You can use a rubber band or hair elastic.Pull your ponytail through the hair tie and place it where you want it to be.Pull your hair through the new free opening after twisting the tie into a figure 8.Until the hair tie no longer has slack and your ponytail feels secure, do this.This will cause a messy ponytail.Before you get your hair, apply a product such as gel, edge control, pomade, or mousse.
Step 13: Start with a ponytail.
You should tie all of the hair back into a ponytail.If you have bangs, you can either leave them alone or pull them back with the rest of your hair.The majority of your bun will be where you position your initial ponytail.A high ponytail is the best way to get a bun that sits high on your head.
Step 14: You need to twist your hair.
Take the tip of your ponytail and twist it with your wrist.The entire length of your ponytail can't be twisted further if it is a spiral.You can either twist clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on which way you want your bun to go.
Step 15: Your hair should be in a bun.
To maintain its twist, hold the end of your ponytail.Wrap your hair around the hair tie at the base of the ponytail in the same way you twisted it.Because you are working with long hair, you will need to place a finger from your other hand or a cylinder with a similar width at the center.Your bun will not be stable if you wrap too far up from your base.Wrap your hair around until you have a bun.If you can still reach it, wrap the tip under a coil or back through the hair tie.
Step 16: Put your bun in a secure position.
If you have different hair types, you may need help keeping your bun secure.You can pin it in place with one or more accessories.If you have wavy or curly hair that likes to stay put, you don't need anything else except the first hair tie and the tension of the bun's coil.Make sure your bun is secure before you leave.You can try tugging on your bun by holding your head at a few different angles.
