An article in Cosmopolitan I found worth sharing..20 different chic hairstyles for long hair..
1.Pair Wavy Strands with Straight Bangs
Soft, loose curls are still really hot, but if you’re looking to switch up this look just a bit, keep your bangs or shorter face-framing pieces sleek like Reese Witherspoon does here. The effect works best if your fringe is long and wispy.
2.Fire Up Your Flatiron
Super-sleek strands like Ciara’s are back. To prevent your hair from sizzling in your flatiron, use a protective styling spray before you clamp down. We love Got2b Guardian Angel Protect N’ Blow Out Lotion and Gloss Finish.
3.Keep It Loose
Jessica Biel’s half-up style looks so sexy because it’s tousled and not too perfect. Rub body-building mousse through damp strands, blow-dry, then pull them back at ear level and secure with bobby pins. Try Jonathan Create Volume Thickening Foam.
4. Try a Simple Bun
Jessica Stroup’s chic updo is simple to pull off. Blow-dry hair straight, part it to one side, then make a low ponytail. Coil the length of the pony around the base and secure the knot with pins.
5.Enhance Your Natural Texture
Blake Lively has some seriously sexy waves. Dampen hair from roots to ends with a texturizing spray like Fekkai Coiff Bouffant Lifting & Texturizing Spray Gel before blow-drying, then wrap random sections around a 1-inch curling iron
6.Sling Your Bun to One Side
For Becki Newton’s playful chignon, part your hair to one side and twist it into a big, loose bun about an inch above the nape of your neck. If you have really fine or naturally straight hair, add texture before you put it up with a mousse like Garnier Fructis Body Boost Volumizing Mousse, then blow-dry with a diffuser.
7.Break Up Your Curls with Color
Beyoncé’s curls look extra-gorgeous thanks to some randomly placed caramel-hued highlights. Ask your colorist to brighten a few pieces around your face as well as some chunks at your ends. Or go at it yourself with L’Oréal Feria Multi-Faceted Shimmering Color.
8. Do a Flirty Ponytail
Eva Mendes’s pony is easy and super-cute. The trick: Tease your roots around the crown of your head to get some lift before you pull your hair back. For extra oomph, fluff up the length of the pony with a flexible-hold spray like Herbal Essences Set Me Up Extra Hold Hair Spray.
9. Flirt with a Shoulder-Length Style
Want to fake shorter strands? Set long hair in big, hot rollers for super-bouncy curls that temporarily shorten your locks by a couple of inches like Amy Adams did here. Try Conair Instant Heat Jumbo and Super Jumbo Hot Rollers.
10.Go for an Easy Updo
Updos look sexiest when they’re not too “done.” Case in point: Hilary Duff’s falling-down style. To get it, leave your face-framing pieces down, then gather the rest of your hair into a low, super-loose chignon.
