From adding in playful accessories to creating ponytails with a twist, keep scrolling for our favorite quick hairstyles for long hair. Trust us—you don't need to be a professional to re-create these. But having one (or a few) on hand can't hurt, so we asked several expert stylists for their advice.
This retro updo is all about great product. First, use a dry shampoo likePureology Refresh and Go Dry Shampoo. Next, gather hair half up on the crown and secure with an elastic before gathering the rest of the hair up high and securing with another elastic. Use bobby pins to shape and secure the look in place.
Easy to recreate. All you need is the ability to three-strand braid and a scarf, cord, or rope to tie around the base. Follow hairstylist and director of education for NEUMA, Gina Scipioni's tips:

Not a fan of the standard pigtails and looking for something a little funkier? Tessa Thompson makes the case for a mature version of pigtail plaits.
These easy hair hacks can tame wayward coils while making them look even more gorgeous. Follow Scipioni's advice for the perfect half-up/half-down:
Use Scipioni's OK test to check out whether the scarf is a good size: If the scarf is too thick to fit through the hole made by the pointer and thumb, like when making the OK sign with your hand, then it’s usually too thick to use in the hairstyle.

Fishtail braids look impressive, as seen here on Laverne Cox, but are easier to do than most. Follow our simple instructions on how to do a fishtail:
Mastered the low ponytail? Step it up a notch by adding a stretchy headband to the top of the head, as seen here. The best part is that you can dress it up or down.
Use the same technique as the bandana style but with a bow (or two or three) to finish, as exhibited here on Skai Jackson.

Give your hair a sporty-meets-avant-garde style with this high-fashion ponytail. Here, hair is secured in two places with a mini wrap detail adding interest to the back.
You might've seen that headbands are back in business, but we also love the look digital influencer and model Linh Dang Khanh Nguyen created using a headscarf. It's also the perfect way to disguise greasy roots. Win-win.

To get fake bangs you can go to any wig store to get them. The trick is trying to make them look real. I like a ponytail look with them, says Gibson. That said, if you have enough length, you can fake bangs with your hair. It works especially well on super curly textures. Just do a reverse ponytail with the hair falling forward over the forehead instead of back towards the nape of the neck. You can also add a scarf or headband to make the pseudo-bangs appear more real.
Stunning Long Wavy Hairstyles That Anyone Can Re Create
This may be the easiest hair update ever. Take a cue from Zendaya and flip over your part—particularly dramatic when you have loose, blown-out waves as seen here.
It's a classic for a reason. The messy bun—wherein hair is piled on top of the head, and casually arranged—is a good look, to put it simp. It's always about the right texture in the bun. It's important to know if you want it to be dressy or played down. A little smoothing is more chic and sophisticated, says Gibson. Take a cue from Rita Ora and slick hair back, leaving a few tendrils loose.
This is a super-sized messy (yet polished) bun twisted into the shape of a Nautilus shell. What I love about this look is that it isn’t perfect. It looks cool and doesn’t look too done. That’s the importance of hair right now, says Gibson.
Long Hairstyles & Haircuts You Need To Try In 2023
A massive silk scrunchie wrapped twice around a low ponytail is all you need for an eye-catching style on long strands. Make sure there is enough product for hair to hold scrunchie, says Sango. Scrunchies are nice to use to decorate buns and pineapple styles. Pull a few face-framing pieces free and voila you've got a style that looks way higher maintenance than it actually is.
Space buns are '90s throwbacks that remain eternally cool, and this half-up style is thoroughly modern. Follow Scipioni's tips to get the look:
Similar to the scrunchie, this style employs an oversized barrette to gather all the hair at the nape of the neck. Whether you have straight, curly, or wavy hair, you'll want to add a bit of texturizer or gel to ensure the clip doesn't slide around.
Chic Hairstyles For Oblong Face Shapes, According To Stylists
Curtain bangs are all about the cut, and they're less maintenance than other styles of fringe when done correctly. You can always blow dry them to make sure they lay properly on the forehead and they make longer styles look done even when you haven't done much.
Curly hair is eye-catching enough to be a style all on its own. We love Rihanna's long spirals paired with a trendy middle part. Long, curly hair can definitely have its challenges, but here are a few pro tips to consider, says Scipioni:
Adding a few small, face-framing braids is a simple way to give your look a boho '60s vibe. Tinier braids can be left undone, without elastics, for a chic, unpolished effect. I cannot stress enough that do-it-yourself looks are the coolest, says Gibson. Don’t think that you have made a mistake—play with textures, play with shapes.

This braided take on the classic ballerina bun combines the colorful bobby pin idea from #2 with an updo. Whether or not you choose to braid the hair first or stick with a simple version of this style, Sango recommends using a hair donut to get the perfect shape.
Shay Mitchell's bun is similar to Jourdan Dunn's above, but with a higher placement. This detail takes the polish to sky-high levels.
Gorgeous chunky twists are a great, protective way to style long, curly hair. Follow the instructions from this video tutorial by Jasmine Brown:
Wedding Hairstyles Long Hair
The French twist is classic, but there are endless variations. We love this elongated, slightly raised take on the tried-and-true prom 'do by stylist Irinel de Leon. Making the shape is so simple and only involves a few bobby pins to hold it in place. The best part? It's beautiful on all textures. This can most certainly be done on curly hair. Your curls will just add an extra touch with the texture, adds Sango.
Half-up pigtails are another fun way to style long hair. It's so simple—just brush the front pieces of your hair up and fasten into two matching ponytails. If you want to achieve this exact look and you have naturally curly hair, you can softly blow the hair out to stretch, and loosen curls with a heated curling tong on medium heat to prevent heat damage, says Sango.
A far cry from the perms of the 1980s, this modern spin on the look is all about a relaxed look with plenty of wave. If you don't want the commitment of getting a full-on perm at a salon, try a rotating curling iron for a similar look.
Long Hair Styles That Are Quick, Easy, And On Trend In 2023
Olivia Rodrigo's screen siren-worthy waves look especially dramatic when paired with a subtle side part. For this look, spritz on lots of shine spray and keep one side of the hair tucked behind an ear, to show off accessories.
Keke Palmer looks straight out of Studio 54 with these fluffy waves. Here, her hair cascades down and out, framing her face. And her layers start at the brow, creating a look that mimics bangs but doesn't require quite the commitment.
This messy look is kept casual thanks to an air-dried, textured finish. We love the curtain bangs, which are kept wide to frame the face. Keep the ends blunt and let the waves be the star of this style
