Long hair takes a lot of maintenance in order to keep it looking healthy
and shiny. Proper hair care is the first step that you will need to
take in order to create beautiful long hair styles. Proper hair care
starts with a quality shampoo and condition. These products should not
be too heavy as heavy shampoos and conditions can be difficult to rinse
out of long hair, especially if you have thick hair as well. In addition
to using a good shampoo and conditioner you will also need to use hair
care products that address the type of hair that you have. If you have
curly or wavy hair then you may also want to use a curl enhancer and
definer. If you are trying for a straight hair style then you may want
to add a hair straightener to your hair care regime.
If you plan on attending a special event then you will want to look
for formal long hair styles that are appropriate for your face shape and
the type of function that you will be attending. For weddings or spring
formal events long spiral curls tied back, swept up, or left loose are
all appropriate longer hair styles. If you have naturally straight hair
then you may need to get a spiral perm in order to create the types of
curls that you want.
Long hair is beautiful and it can be styled
into a number of looks. Unfortunately it can also create fashion
problems. First if it is not cared for it can become frizzy, dry and
dull. When this happens your long hair will weigh you down and make you
look dowdy. To avoid these problems you should get a hair cut that will
give your long hair shape, movement and texture. One type of hair cut
that works great for long hair are layered hair cuts.
