Don’t get lax with that lovely long hair of yours and simply let it hang limply around your face. Get re-inspired with these oh so pretty yet super easy hairstyles for long hair…By Katie Martlew
1. The Sexy Textured Ponytail
Possibly the easiest hairstyle on the planet for long hair, the textured ponytail takes a mere 5-minutes to master, yet can make you look approximately 92% more chic in an instant. FACT!
Get the look: simply spray a volumiser onto towel-dried hair (we love Paul Mitchell Volumising Spray RRP $23.95 Stockists Ph. 1300 365 350), and roughly dry with a hairdryer, twisting sections as you go. When hair is dry, pull into a loose ponytail and secure with an elastic. Remember, the messier the better. Wrap a small section of the hair around the base of your ponytail and secure with a bobby pin.
Quick Tip: To give the hair some extra sexy tousled texture, spritz the ponytail with a little dry shampoo, and lightly tease (we love Bastiste Diva Dry Shampoo RRP $9.95. Stockists Ph 1800 222 099)
2. The Mini Boho Side Braid
The perfect sexy Spring/Summer hairstyle is all about the Mini Side Boho Braid! Either opt to wear it with a chic, textured messy bun, or as a pretty way to keep your long, sexy tousled hair off your face (as above).
Get the look: this hairstyle looks best with sexy, textured hair, so start by spritzing a texturising spray such as Toni & Guy Sea Salt Texturising Spray RRP $15.99 Stockists Ph. 1800 061 027) through the ends of the hair, roughly scrunching as you go. Then, create a deep side-part on one side of your head, and taking a small section of hair, start French braiding on an angle towards the ear, keep the braid super close to the hairline. Secure behind your ear using a bobby pin.
3. The Chic Low Side Bun
This super chic take on the low messy bun hairstyle is ridiculously easy to master, yet will have you red carpet ready in an instant.
Get the look: To get that sexy, rough texture, this look works best on day old hair. If you have fine or naturally straight hair, create some volume and height with Schwarzkopf Extra Care Heidi’s Instant Volume Powder RRP $8.99 Stockists Ph 1800 022 219. Then, simply part your hair to one side and twist it into a big, loose bun, sitting about an inch above the nape of your neck. Let some pieces fall out so it looks a little messy and undone, and voila!
