Rapunzel Who?: 6 Easy Hairstyles For Long Hair

Long-haired gals have a lot of length to work with, and with so much room for creativity, it's impossible to cover the myriad of looks that are achievable.

But we've broken it down to six fashionable and easy hairstyles for long hair that can serve as launching points for your locks—ideas you can build around or on or leave as is. Either way, you're guaranteed to show off your better-than-Rapunzel style in all its glory.

1. Effortless Curls

Curls are a girl's best friend, and there are so many sweet styles to play with—from ringlets to soft swirls to bigger, fuller looks.

Long-haired ladies have the room to take advantage of all these gorgeous 'dos, plus more. And the best way to ensure you can change up your hairstyle anytime you want is with the NuMe Octowand.

The 8-in-1 interchangeable wand includes barrel attachments of different sizes and shapes that can take you from Shirley Temple cuteness to Farrah Fawcett fabulousness in no time.

This one-of-a-kind curling wand offers unmatched flexibility to create gorgeous, easy hairstyles for long hair that you are absolutely going to love.

Switch the barrels for a new style every day, and have a peace of mind knowing that frequent thermal hair styling won't damage your hair thanks to the NuMe Octowand's innovative tourmaline technology, which seals in hair moisture.

2. Voluminous hair

If you are looking for easy hairstyles for long hair, you can never go long with adding more volume to your beautiful mane. 

Maybe something loose and carefree is more up your alley. Sometimes all you need is a great round brush (try the NuMe Ionic Round Brush) and a blow dryer—like our Signature Dryer model—to get bouncy, voluminous hair that's perfect for daytime fun or nighttime glam.

And with its far infrared heat, three temperature settings, and cool shot button, the NuMe Signature Hair Dryer will be gentle on your hair on the path to looking fab.

To create a full, more voluminous hair, follow these simple steps:

1. Begin by washing your hair with a natural shampoo and conditioner such as the NuMe Vegan Tourmaline Hair Care series to add extra lift and body.
2. Gently towel-dry your hair to remove excess moisture, but leave it slightly damp for optimal blow-drying.
3. Apply a volumizing mousse or spray to the roots and lengths of your hair to add texture and hold to your strands.
4. Divide your hair into sections using clips or hair ties for a more manageable blow drying process.
5. Use a round brush to create more volume. Take a section of hair and place the brush underneath it, close to the roots.
6. Hold the hair dryer a few inches away from your hair and point it downward, following the brush as you move it through the section of hair.
7. Direct the airflow at the roots while using the brush to lift them up, creating volume at the base.
8. Repeat and move to other sections until your hair is fully dry. 

Once your hair is dry, switch your hair dryer to the cool temperature setting and give your hair a final blast of cool air. This helps to set the style and seal the cuticles, giving your hair added shine and longevity.
 

3. Side-swept ponytail

Next on our list of easy hairstyles for long hair is a side-swept ponytail. 

A side-swept ponytail is ideal anytime you want to glam things up without having to put in too much work (while looking like you put in tons of work).

Pull hair back and secure with a ponytail holder; don't worry about it looking neat—the less perfect, the better.

Pull out a couple of face-framing pieces and give them a soft curl using the Classic Curling Wand.

Then split your ponytail into two to three parts and curl away. Available in 19mm, 25mm, and 32mm barrels, the Classic Curling Wand will allow you to achieve any size curl your heart (or strands) desires.

4. Deep Waves

Easy hairstyles for long hair: deep waves

Waves reminiscent of crimped styles from back in the day are an out-of-the-box way to give hair a little bit more volume and texture.

And with long hair, those endless waves are the perfect accessory for a night out on the town or anytime you require a statement-making style.

The NuMe Pentacle 2-in-1 Curling Wand and Deep Waver is all you need to achieve this gorgeous look. Just unlock the tourmaline barrel to expose the V-shaped plates, take a section of hair and clamp! It's that simple.

Move down the hair, clamping at regular intervals. You'll have a bangin' set of waves in far less time than it takes with a regular flat iron.

The best part about the 2-in-1 is that it gives you the ability to switch back to a traditional curling iron if you want to change things up.

5. Sleek High Ponytail

A sophisticated ponytail is another style that long-haired beauties can have fun with. It highlights the facial features while giving those sweet locks their own airtime.

The most important factor is ensuring the hair is as straight as possible. One of the greatest tools for this is our award-winning Megastar, equipped with ceramic floating plates and a far infrared heat strip.

The NuMe Styling Comb — the Megastar's BFF—is another can't-live-without tool when it comes to bone-straight tresses. It keeps hair taut and tangle-free, allowing for a smooth finish when the Megastar glides over.

Once you've gotten everything all straightened out, just pull your hair up and secure. Wrap a piece of hair around the rubber band for an even more polished look.

6. Classy Bun

Among the best easy hairstyles for long hair is a classy bun. The length opens up endless options in terms of styling: multilayered, messy, curly, ballerina, braided—the possibilities are numerous.

For a smoother bun style such as this one, a key ingredient is Sleeky In A Bottle Serum. This blend of oils is designed to tame frizz and nourish strands while adding shine. It's the perfect finishing touch for a bun that's high on glam.

FAQ

How do you sleep with long hair?

To sleep comfortably with long hair, loosely tie it in a low ponytail or braid to prevent tangles and breakage. Consider using a silk or satin pillowcase to minimize friction and maintain hair's moisture. Alternatively, wrap hair in a silk scarf or wear a loose bun on top of your head.

How do I get long fluffy hair?

To achieve long fluffy hair, focus on maintaining its health. Regularly trim split ends, use volumizing products, and avoid heavy styling products that weigh hair down.

Incorporate gentle backcombing or teasing at the roots for added lift, and consider using a round brush while blow-drying to create volume.

How do you pin long hair back?

To pin long hair back, gather the desired section and twist it towards the back. Secure with bobby pins or hairpins, placing them horizontally for better grip.

For added security, crisscross the pins or create an "X" shape. Smooth any loose strands and use hairspray for extra hold if needed.
