Do you need a new hairstyle? If you have long hair, it is easy to get into the ponytail rut. Just put it up and go. But long hair offers a lot of hairstyle options if you are going to the prom, having senior pictures or bridal pictures made, going to a wedding, or just needing an updo for a formal party. You do need to know some basics of hair care before getting started with long hairstyles though. Knowing the best way to shampoo, comb, brush, and dry your hair and the tools to use can give you a head start in your hairstyle.
First, shampooing long hair is best done standing up, preferably in the shower. This helps reduce matting and tangling. You should choose a shampoo that fits your hair's needs. For instance, chemically treated or damaged hair should be treated with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Only apply shampoo to the scalp and then rub in circular motions to clean the scalp thoroughly. When you rinse, work the shampoo through the ends of your hair and this will also help with less tangles. Your goal is to clean your scalp, so it is not necessary to rub shampoo into the ends of your hair. Use several towels to blot your hair dry. Never rub wet hair because this is a major cause of matting and tangling.
Second, combing and brushing long hair can be difficult if you do not use the proper tools and technique. To make combing wet hair easier, start with a leave-in conditioner. Using a large tooth bone comb, start at the ends and work up a little, about an inch at a time, getting the tangles out. If you are working with dry hair, a large paddle brush works best. Again always start at the bottom and slowly work up to the scalp. When blow drying long hair, use your fingers to comb through the hair from scalp to ends while drying.
Third, you need a few hair tools on hand to make the perfect hairdo. They include a large comb, square paddle brush, bobby pins, hairpins, and elastic bands. The best elastic bands to use are covered with some type of material. You might not have known there is a difference in bobby pins and hairpins, but using them correctly will help your hairstyle. Bobby pins touch in the middle and are designed to hold the weight of your hair. Hairpins are made to hold hair in place that has already been secured with bobby pins. You can make curls and then spread them and hold them in place with hairpins.
There are lots of great hairstyles you can choose once you have mastered the basics and have your hair clean and ready. Braids and updos are perfect hairstyles for proms, senior pictures, bridal pictures, weddings, and formal functions. Many hairstyle professionals can style your clean dry hair in an updo in about 15 minutes. Having long hair doesn't have to mean always wearing a ponytail. Talk with your hairstyle professional about some of the many hairdos that would work for you.

Wedding Hairstyle Updos; What You Need To Know About The Updo Hair Style
Author: Ben Anton
Hair updos provide the perfect style for any occasion. Wedding updos can be elegant, sophisticated, and beautiful. Prom updos can be fun and flirty or classy and gorgeous. Similarly, hair updos can provide a casual look for day to day activities or a business look for work. Or, those looking for a little added sex appeal can experiment with a variety of hair updos to let the sultry side shine.
Half Up/Half Down Hair Updos
One interesting variation of hair updos is the half up/half down style. These modified hair updos involve pinning up part of the hair while allowing the rest of the hair to flow around the shoulders or back. These hair updos can look stunning on a wedding day or they can look sexy for a night on the town.
Women with fine hair sometimes have a difficult time with half up/half down style hair updos because the pins holding it in place have a tendency to slip. Therefore, it is generally best to treat the hair ahead of time with plenty of gel and holding spray and to use many bobby pins.
Creating Half Up/Half Down Hair Updos
Even if the hair is not thin, it is best to refrain from washing the hair for at least 24 hours before creating a half up/half down style. This is because the natural oils in the hair help the parts and knots used in these hair updos stay tight and long lasting. If the hair has been recently washed, it needs to be treated with hair spray or gel to prep it for styling.
After the hair is ready for hair updos, it should be brushed thoroughly and made free of tangles and knots. Then, sections of about 1-2” thickness should be created and straightened with a flat iron. After the hair has been allowed to cool, the tail of a rattail comb should be used to create a side part. This part should extend from the front of the hairline to about 2 inches from the crown of the head.
The hair should then be brushed from the part to the hairline’s opposite side. Then, the new section that has been created should be pulled behind the ear. The stylist should then use her hands and a paddle brush to smooth the hair in order to contain all of the random hairs within the new section.
The hair should then be temporarily clipped behind the ear. One small strand of hair can also be pulled from the new section in order to create an accent piece. This strand should be taken from near the eyebrow and it can be left either straight or slightly curled.
Next, the other side of the hair should be brushed until it is smooth. It should be brushed behind the other ear and also clipped temporarily. Each section can then be unclipped from behind the ears one at a time. The sections should then be separated equally into bottom and top sections, making each section into two new sections. The bottom portion should be pulled into a loose ponytail in order to keep it out of the way for the next step.
Then, one of the top sections should be brushed toward the middle of the back portion of the head and rolled into a fairly flat and horizontal hair roll. It should be pinned securely and flatly against the scalp. It is generally necessary to add a light gel or a setting lotion to each section of the hair at this point. Otherwise, the hair may be too slippery and will not hold well.
The other top section should then also be rolled to the middle and back section of the head. It is important to be sure to slightly overlap the first section that was rolled. The second roll needs to be pinned in a fashion that hides the first roll. The entire area then needs to be sprayed with hairspray in order to keep it in place.
A large decorative clip, a flower, or other hair accessory can then be added. Not only is this attractive, it also helps to hide the overlapping hair rolls. For a little more pizzazz, a bit of glitter gel can also be added to the sides or back.
The sections that were being temporarily held in loose ponytails can then be let out. A curling iron can be used to create a soft bend in the ends of the hair. These will also need to be sprayed in order to hold them in place.

Wedding Hairstyles: A 7 Step Plan For Perfect Hair
by Melissa Burton
Much preparation has to go into the bride’s dress, and so should her crowning glory, the hair. Follow this simple guide on how to plan for the perfect wedding hairstyle.
Weeks before your wedding day choose a hairdresser that will make your do at the wedding. Find a hairdresser that is recommended by someone you know and trust; someone that they had a good experience with.
1. Establish a good rapport with the hairdresser. You should be comfortable in discussing with him or her on the style and look you want. Some hairdressers insist on some do that they dreamed would be made for them. Be firm in telling him or her what you want and don’t want.
2. Discuss in length the shape of your face in relation to the hairstyle that he or she proposes. Try the following styles:
-Up do’s signify elegance and this is what most brides want.
-Tired of the bun? Achieve the same polished look with braids instead. From cornrows to French twists, there are numerous interesting ways to set your hair in place.
-Letting your hair down, especially of the mid-length can emanate romance. Flip the edges out for a little retro look.
-Short hair can be spruced up with color highlights or shiny curls.
3. Ask to schedule a practice session to mock-up the intended hair do for your wedding day. You may need to pay extra for this mock-up session, but it’s worth the buck to ensure you look lovely during your wedding.
4. Part of the mock-up is for you to carry the hairstyle. Check side and rear views for how the hairstyle looks and make sure it is made to your liking. You are the center of attention on the wedding day, so you should be beautiful 360 degrees!
5. Walk around the salon with your hairstyle. Try to bob your head abit or do other head movements that you think will happen on wedding day. Make sure your hairstyle withstands all the head activity and that you and your scalp will be comfortable for hours.
6. Now, traditionally, they say it is bad luck to try on your wedding dress before the wedding day. But you need to be sure that your hairstyle matches the gown. Don’t worry; you can still approximate the look by using other dresses. Look for a dress that has the same collar style as your wedding dress. Then put on something that approximates the same lines of your wedding gown. View yourself on the mirror, and imagine yourself in white… does the hairstyle match?
7. On the eve of the wedding, get a head massage, on second thought, get a whole body massage! This relaxes your body, opens your pores and freshens up your skin.

How to Choose the Prom Hairstyles Suitable for Yourselves
By Alice Calandra
According to the philosophy of painting, rich and green leaves would set off a beautiful and prominent flower. Similarly, a beautiful prom hairstyle should be conformed to your face in order to bulge out your own characteristics and attractiveness. In designing the prom hairstyle, it is essential to highlight the beautiful parts of your face but to cover those weaknesses.
In choosing your most suitable prom hairstyle, you should consider a lot of factors including the shape of your face, head, nose, eyes and their ratios of each other. The facial shape would be the most influential factors among all. Different hairstyles would suit for different facial shapes. Basically, there are four types of common facial shapes to consider with, i.e. the oval shape, the triangular shape, the round shape and the rectangular shape.
The Oval Facial Shape
Most people think that an oval facial shape gives a friendly feeling and it suits for many different hairstyles. Nevertheless, it would give a false impression that an oval facial shape would be lack of personal characteristics. Therefore, it is especially important for an oval facial shape to choose a more distinctive hairstyle to extrude her unique character. Besides, a more frequent changed hairstyle is suggested since it could help to project her attributes.
With distinctive and appealing facial features and contour, a simple prom hairstyle should be chosen in order to transpire her unique temperament. Hair length to the jaw would be the most suitable choice. Besides, a badminton type prom hairstyle would also be suitable since it could draw people attention to her appealing facial features.
On the other hand, for those with less distinctive facial features, they should choose a middle to long hairstyle, and the hair should not be set backward.
The Triangular Facial Shape
Triangular facial shape could be classified into heart shape and pear shape. For a heart facial shape, it should be aware that the prom hairstyle should not be set to exaggerate a weak and crummy impression. A smoothie-curved hair is recommended for both long and short hair which could help to project a more able character. The following prom hairstyle designs are suitable for most heart facial shape,
a. An imbalance prom hairstyle could help to smooth out the weakness of the pointed jaw. It could divert people attention to other facial features. Besides, with attractive earrings and headdress, it gives people a vivid and fresh affection.
b. Hair length at two sides should be set to the cheek. It should be moderately enriched and set backward so as to beef up the impression of a wider jaw. Besides, it is better to set a smoothly curved bang which could neutralize the weak and tense feelings due to the pointed jaw.
c. A too short hair or too thin hair at two sides would exacerbate the weakness of the pointed jaw which should be avoided.
For a pear facial shape, the setting could be based on dividing the face into four equal parts, and the prom hairstyle should be set to make up an overall oval facial shape impression.
The Round Facial Shape
A round facial shape projects an affection of vivid and naïve. However, it would also give a false impression of immaturity. It is suggested to set up the hair at the front part to make up a more oval shape impression. For instant, an inner curved bang or thickened bang could well serve this purpose. The following prom hairstyles design are suggested for most round facial shape,
a. Short and cute hairstyles could further protrude the vivid image. However, the hair at two sides should not be too thick. A “S” shaped curved bang obliquely through the forehead could lessen the immature impression. Besides, the thickness and the size of the bang should be designed based on the size, shape and distant of the eyes.
b. An imbalance prom hairstyle could lessen the round shape impression which is recommended in most cases.
c. The hair at two sides should be set to the jaw and attached to the face. It is suggested to match with an imbalance bang or smoothie curved bang which gives a soft and tender temperament. Besides, the hair after the ears should be thickened and lengthened to balance the round facial shape.
The Rectangular Facial Shape
In general, many of the top models are in rectangular facial shape. In fact, a rectangular facial shape delivers a unique character of cool and determination. The following prom hairstyle designs are recommended,
a. A long hair with smoothie curve could neutralize the firm impression of rectangular facial shape. Hair at two sides should be set to the chin with curve and layer impression. It should be aware that giving a natural feel is very important, otherwise, the hair set would be more easy to frame the face for rectangular facial shape.
b. Imbalance prom hairstyles could also neutralize the inflexible feeling. It could match with suitable earrings and headdress to accentuate own unique character and individuality.
c. A too short and too straight hair would magnify the firm impression. It is only suitable for those with appealing facial features and contour. Otherwise, a layered inner curved bang would give a more feminine affection.

Perfect Wedding Hairstyle - Medusa And A Glass Of Bubbly
Author: Daisy May
Hairstyles and headdresses perfectly matched are a complimentary duo for any bride on her wedding day. What you have to remember when deciding on your hairstyle is what may suit others may not necessarily be the right style for you. Practice makes perfect so try out different hairstyles in the mirror just to get a mirror image of your self. This will give a little insight as to whether you clip your hair up for the wedding or let it lie on the shoulder. A mental picture of your wedding gown is good to have at the back of your mind when choosing the hairstyle or better still if you can have it on at the time will make all the difference in helping you with your decision.
If the wedding dress is an off the shoulder design then consider letting the tresses flow but if the gowns collar is high necked like Victorian times then consider styling the hair up.
The shape of your face is another major factor taken into consideration when picking a hairstyle. If your present style is a look alike of Joan of arc do not despair the longer look can be achieved with hair extensions. Having the perfect hairstyle is very important and why not, as this is a very essential part of the brides whole entity that will add the finishing touches in making her feel just they way she should on a day as special as this.
Sort out an early appointment to talk to with a hairdresser. Find a stylist that holds a good reputation among your friends and family. Make sure after the consultation you are comfortable with your choice of clipper, go through every fine detail of the hairstyle that you would like. He/she can or may give their professional advice on your chosen style but if you are not happy with what they propose then stand your ground.
At the end of the day this is your wedding so the choice is yours. Elegant hairstyles that are quite stunning are the French twist or braids creatively enhanced by woven pearls.
To help emanate romance let the hair down. Short hair can be highlighted by adding decorative little menageries (rosebuds feathers hair jewels) Extensions can help fulfil your dream of having the perfect hairstyle.
Magazine browsing is a must for ideas if you are undecided on the hairstyle that will compliment your wedding dress or face features. Make arrangements with the hairdresser to have a practice run it may cost but it will be worthwhile to claim the style you crave. Another good idea is to bring along your headpiece e.g. tiara, cap for the hairdresser to fit at the same time.
Make sure the hairstyle is compatible with all dance moves especially the ones after a few glasses of bubbly if not then a guaranteed medusa look

Make arrangements with the hairdresser to have a practice run it may cost but it will be worthwhile to claim the style you crave. Another good idea is to bring along your headpiece e.g. tiara, cap for the hairdresser to fit at the same time.
Make sure the hairstyle is compatible with all dance moves especially the ones after a few glasses of bubbly if not then a guaranteed medusa look

All At The Bottom wedding hair style
What do you usually look like?
I would suggest that you try to look like
that on your wedding day. If your hair is long and swept up on your wedding
day, and never again after that, you won't look like you and, as you said,
the pictures last forever.
I met two women when we were on our honeymoon,
who had their hair cut in Jamaica because they had grown it out for their
wedding and wanted to return to their 'normal' hair style as soon as
possible after the wedding. It seems a bit odd to me.
Beautiful southern wedding hair style that fits both a formal and casual wedding.
Easy hair style to create, perfect for people with straight hair!
Complete look with a tiara and/ or a veil.
