Having long, luscious locks is a sign of personal pride for many women. However, long hair can seem out of hand if not styled properly. That’s why all the latest trends in long hair focus on healthy looking strands. Perhaps the most popular trend right now is to have long layers cut into hair. For thick hair, this can lighten up the weight and make it more bouncy and lively. For thinner hair, layers adds texture and life.

Layers can also create face-framing pieces, which helps soften your jaw line and face shape. This is especially important with long hair, as a single-length style can clash with certain facial features. Another popular trend right now is to let your natural texture show with long hair. This means showing off long, volumous waves and curls rather than attempting to straighten them away.

Also, braids have made a big comeback in long hairstyles and are now one of the hottest trends. Braids look best when hair is tied half-up rather than in one long braid. For an easier way to tie up long hair, consider the sleek ponytail. Always a classic, wearing a low ponytail makes long hair look chic and elegant. One trendy way to wear your ponytail is to wrap a strand of hair around the hair tie to conceal it. This makes you look put together with such a simple ‘do.
