Easy Everyday Beauty Tips for Women with Long Hair

2 years ago I had hair down to my butt. As much as I hated taking care of my long locks, I absolutely loved the non-stop compliments I would get whenever I let my hair down.

That’s the first beauty tip for women with long hair. Tie it up high on your head all day long, and at around noon remove the tie and let hair fall down. This simple, easy trick adds volume and bounce to your long locks for the rest of the day. It’s by far the easiest little trick you can do to make your beautiful long hair look even more beautiful. This tip requires nothing but a scrunchy capable of holding your long hair up.

Another thing I used to do daily was high gloss shine spray. A few years ago high glossing products were hard to come by; today however nearly every company that sells hair products, will have something suitable for adding gloss to your hair.

One of my personal long time favorites has been TIGI Bed Head, Head Rush Shine Spray. This stuff not only adds tons of glimmer to your locks, but it also keeps your hair from looking greasy, and it also adds a nice addictive scent to the hair for hours.

Another quick and simple beautifying trick I used to add to my hair, which brought in mobs of compliments would be to simply straighten my hair and add a thin glitter headband. The glitter headband drew attention to the hair, and added glam to my look, taking boring straight hair up a notch, for only 99 cents.

Although some may consider sequins on clothing tacky, a sequin hair band is far from it. A sequin band adds quick glam to your look, just like glitter headbands, only they shimmer a hell of a lot more. Click to see an example.

There are so many different things you can do with long hair though besides throwing in a headband, or fancy hair tie. You can also style your hair easily into a french braid. Although it may take some practice, believe it or not, I mastered doing a perfect french braid on a dolls head before I could do it on my own. Honestly a cabbage patch with long hair, is a nice way to practice the french braid.

For an easy step by step guide on how to do a french braid follow the directions on these instructions. There are photos on this helpful website to help guide you right through the process. It’s a lot easier than it may seem.

With long hair, you actually have a harder time styling, but you have way more options than those with short hair. Take the bun for instance. You can pile your hair up into a thick elegant swirled bun, simply by twirling your hair before tying it up into a bun. It not only pulls the bun together, but it gives it a classical neat look.

Take a look at these excellent photos of a twisted bun being made on dolls hair, which you can do on yourself. It’s simple, easy, and fast, and only require longer hair, a hair tie, and some bobby pins.

Parting long hair into a zig zag patterned part is another simple and fast trick to making long hair look like you spent hours styling it. It’s best to do a zig zag part on straight hair. You will need a pointed comb or even a pencil to do the zig zag part.

Simply brush your hair back, and in the middle take the pointy end of the comb, or pencil, and put it at the front of your hair line. Next run it quickly through your hair in a zig zag pattern. The hair will fall into a zig zag pattern and add a unique part to your hair. Click for examples, and to be taken to products that make the parts even easier.

Women with long hair have a lot to work with, making it fun and easy to play around with many different styles. Have fun with it. You may even create something that others have yet to see!
