Popular Long Hairstyles for 2013

The long hair is one of the most envied hairstyles around - everyone wants long hair. It is the pinnacle of a woman's beauty according to the Indian culture (notice that many Indian women carry long hair), and the sign of a woman's health according to western cultures. In Hollywood, long hair is the new fashion 'it' and we have likewise seen many celebrities abandoning their formerly wild and crazy hairstyles for the more traditional and feminine long locks.

With the long locks, you get to choose from and almost endless list of possible styles irregardless of if you have straight hair or curly hair, wavy hair or frizzy hair. You can also get away with just about any hairstyle if you have long hair - whether you choose to let it fly loose or pile it up high.

One of the more popular hairstyles that women with long hair are trying is the layered look worn loose. While this look can be applied to basically any hair type, it is highlighted best on the woman with wavy hair. The layer is typically trendy when the ends are either flipped inwards or outwards - the wavy hair is easy to groom into those positions. While the straight hair also flows nicely with a layered cut, it is more difficult to get it to keep the ends styled inwards or outwards. Layers would go completely unnoticed on the woman with curly or frizzy hair, although it may be a useful cut to take off some of the extra bulk of the hair so that it does not overwhelm the smaller or finer woman.

Long curly hair can be very easily worn open either gently clipped behind in a crowned effect, or left completely open. Long straight hair is also very pretty when worn opened. The frizzy hair on the other hand would be very difficult to maintain when open so most women with long frizzy locks tend to stay away from the hairstyles which require them to be kept open.

When worn up, the long hair can be easily pulled into a pony for that quick casual run out (messy or unkempt ponytails are a bit more appealing than tight severe ones) or tightly piled high with soft tendrils framing the face for that special occasion out. The long hair, regardless of its texture (curly, straight, frizzy or wavy), can be braided, pulled into a loose sophisticated knot at the back of the neck, French twisted, or simply clipped into a bun at the crown of the head. By no means is this list exhaustive - you can come up with just about any style for any occasion for your beautiful long hair that would simply be the envy of the event.
