One of the joys of long hair is styling it. Although it’s versatile, styling long hair can be time-consuming and feel like a hassle at times. But you don’t have to put a lot of effort into long hair for it to look good, which is exactly what these easy, everyday hairstyles for long hair are for. Recreate them at home and spend less time getting ready – yet feel confident when you go out.

Low Bun

When it comes to easy, everyday hairstyles for long hair, the low bun is one of the most elegant, timeless, and appropriate for any occasion. 

To start, create a center or side part and pull your hair into a low ponytail in the back. Keep it in place with an elastic band and then separate it into two separate strands, which you will twist around each other. Place another elastic band at the end, twist the ponytail into a bun, and then secure it with a few bobby pins.

Stacked Bobby Pins

This style is super simple, sleek, and sophisticated, and one of the best easy hairstyles for long hair to do at home. And because most of your hair is left down, it allows you to showcase your natural texture which you can promote by saying goodbye to detergent-based shampoo and switching to Hairstory Original New Wash – a foam-free cleansing cream that brings out the best aspects of your natural hair.

All you have to do is to brush your hair back behind your ears so it’s completely off your face and secure it with bobby pins around your temples.

Half Up Half Down

Easy, everyday hairstyles for long hair – like the half-up half-down – give you the best of both worlds: sleek and sophisticated or casual and relaxed, depending on how precise you are with styling. 

First, brush your hair back from your face with your natural part in place. Next, place your fingers just above each ear and take all the hair in front of them into two ponytails. Twist each ponytail loosely then bring them together in the back by looping them together a few times and securing everything with an elastic so it stays in place.

Sock Bun 

Among the many casual updos for long hair, the time a sock bun saves makes it a great hairstyle to have in your repertoire. 

First, gather your hair in a ponytail and thread it through a hair donut, being sure to pull it as close to the ends as you can. Tuck some of your ponytail around and into the center of the donut, carefully roll it down, and you’re done.

So, whether you’re running late and need to style your hair quickly or simply don’t feel like putting in all the effort, these easy, everyday hairstyles for long hair should have you looking great in just a few minutes.
