Long hairstyles for Emo girls are usually long (below shoulder) and moody while for Emo boys, long hairstyles mean those that are up to the chin area only. One of the main characteristics of long emo hairstyles is that they contain a lot of side fringes/bangs that cover one side of the eye. For starters, there is the messy black Emo long hairstyle. As the name suggests, it is worn in a messy state. Then of course there is the long blond, long brown and so on.

It is quite common to feel the way you do given that long hair is popular these days and everybody wants to emulate their favorite artists and celebrities.

First of all, long hairstyles might not suit everyone. What I am trying to say is for example, take a look at your face shape. Will long hair suit your face shape the way you want/hope it to be? Secondly, does it suit your personality? If you are of a tomboyish nature who is rough and fancies wearing jeans and t-shirt, would it suit you? Ask yourself these questions. The next question you need to ask is are you one who is up to caring for long hair? Growing long hair is one thing but caring for it is another. If you think that all you need is to grow it and just wash your hair as you normally do with short hair, think again! It takes much more effort and time to care for long hair comparatively!
However..thank god we are in an age where almost everything is possible these days. You can actually see how you would look in different long hairstyles before growing it. You can achieve this either by using a wig, using hair extensions OR use one of the many PC softwares that can match your face with different hairstyles!

Long Hairstyles For Square Faces 2010

Long Hairstyles For Square Faces - Fall Winter 2010

Regardless of how you see it, there is really no one 'perfect' long hairstyle for those of you with square-shaped faces. Sure, there may be some styles that can lessen the 'squareness' of the face while others do not at all. However, having said that, I have some recommendations for those of you who want to grow long hair and have square faces. The idea is to try and add length to the hair.

• If you want to part your hair at all, I would recommend having it side-parted instead of center parting because it can add 'squareness' to your face.
• Long layers are good to add length to the hair. Avoid shorter layers as it can give the impression of a wider face.
• For those of you who have 'thinner' square faces, long straight hair parted at the side will look good on you. Since it won't really lessen the effects of 'squareness' on your face, it will only work if you do not have a classic square face shape.
• You can try a style with side-swept bangs. This can help soften the squareness of the face. In addition to this, you can also try layering the sides which can help to even out the harsh angles of the face.

The above are but some of the recommendations/tips for those of you who want to have a long hairstyle with square-shaped faces. You can try the above to help you get the long hairstyle to fit you. Alternatively, you can always ask your hairdresser for recommendations.

Shampoo Tips for Long Hairstyles

Shampoo Tips for Long Hairstyles - Fall Winter 2010

First and foremost, due to the wide availability of shampoos and other hair care products, consumers have often been confused about the main function of it. Although there are claims of shampoos being able to add texture, change color and fattening the strands, the main function is actually to clean the hair especially the scalp.

Having long hair requires more attention and time to care for it compared to short hair. Shampoo is one of the key hair care products that are available in the market. I have included some basic tips to shampoo long hair based on my experience.

1. Pick a shampoo that will fit your hair condition. Whether you have dry, normal, oily or dandruff, there is just the right shampoo for it.
2. The right shampoo should be able to cleanse your hair off all dandruff, dirt, oils and sebum.
3. Choose a shampoo that is gentle on your eyes, skin and scalp.
4. When you shampoo your hair, you should want to get the condition of the hair it was in prior to that.
5. How frequent you shampoo your hair really depends on the condition. For me, I shampoo every other day because I have oily hair. Not only that, I tend to shampoo where the oil is originated from and that is the scalp and only frequently wash the length.
6. Although some of you may think that expensive shampoos are better, there is no scientific evidence to proof that. For me, expensive or inexpensive shampoos work more or less the same. It is the ingredients in the shampoo that is important for me.

Following the above tips will help you to have healthier, more beautiful hair.

Romantic Long Hairstyles 2010



Romantic Long Hairstyles
- Fall Winter 2010

I personally think long hairstyles in itself are a fashion statement simply because you tend to have more to show if nothing else! You can fashion it in a myriad of ways. One advantage of having shoulder length to very long hair is that you can incorporate accessories and ornaments including hair sticks to style it in a romantic way! With a little time and practice, you will find that hair sticks is indeed a handy tool in creating romantic hairstyles of your own. Below are some of the styles you can create :
Romantic Long Hairstyles For 2010

Classic Chignon or Bun
You can easily create this hairstyle by making your hair into a normal bun and then 'stitch' your hair against your head with the hair sticks inserted in a criss cross fashion.

The Classic French Twist
Unlike commonly perceived, this hairstyle is quite easy to create. However, it might prove to be a problem if you have extremely long or thick hair. Firstly, fasten your hair with a ponytail holder before dividing it into three sections. Hold your hair in a ponytail at the base of your neck and twist it towards your left direction several times. Next, swing your hair to your right as you continue twisting to create a roll. Continue until the end and hide it under the roll. Use your creativity with the hair sticks at the end of the edges.
Romantic Long Hairstyle 2010

The above is but two of the many romantic hairstyles you can create very easily on your own. Among the other hairstyles are the Edwardian, Edwardian Braid, Flamenco, Topknot, Weave, French Tuck, Juliet, Victorian, Compass, Elegant Gibson, Rope and Double-Braided Bun.

As you can see, long hairstyles can be styled in too many ways and all this by using hair sticks alone. Imagine what you can achieve with other accessories and fashion apparels?

Trimming Long Hair



Trimming Long Hair
- Fall Winter 2010 Hair Edition

Long hairstyles are a wonderful way to indicate that women take great pains in self-care and to look good. This is because admittedly, it takes some effort to grow and then to care and maintain long hairstyles in order for it to continue looking good.
There are many things you will need to bear in mind where caring for your long hairstyle is concerned; from washing to drying; to brushing and trimming. Each and every step of haircare requires nothing less than meticulous attention. I would like to touch specifically on the subject of trimming long hair. How do you go about doing it?
First of all, you should know that trimming is different compared to cutting. When we talk about hair trimming, the amount of hair cut is considerably less compared to cutting and usually involves anything between ¼ to ½ inch. Here's how to go about in trimming long hair.

• Determine the amount of hair to trim.
• Comb your hair from the front portion to the back including the sides.
• Part your hair upwards from the back of the neck and from ear to ear. Clip the remaining hair out of the way and part your hair into 3 sections in the back part. Start with the middle section and run your fingers down your hair. Hold the shaft with your second and third fingers.
• Trim the ends of your hair by using your fingers as a guide. Do this with all the 3 sections.
• Trim the front and sides by combing your hair straight down on the sides and onto your face on the front and trim the same way as you did with the end.
• Comb and check for evenness.

The above is simple to follow for home long hair trimming. You should trim your hair frequently in-between getting a proper haircut.

Women who just want to go out, have some casual fun but yet look good often wonder how to go about matching their long casual hairstyles with their activities and/or attire. It really shouldn't prove to be a problem; if not for anything but for the fact that long hairstyles can be worn in too many different ways! All it really takes is some creativity.
From my own personal experience and observation, I have always fancied using hair accessories regardless of the occasion. For some casual fun, you can choose from the avalanche of hair sticks, decorative ornaments, hair claws, pins, barrettes and the likes. Not only does it serve to hold your long hair in place, it can also serve to be a fashion apparel to make you look even more attractive. As for the actual hairstyles itself, there are simply too many styles to choose from. For instance, if you want to have a casual and fun hairstyle to choose from, you can try braiding your hair or use the multiple ponytail look. The former needs no introduction while the latter is basically a style whereby you create 3 equal sections of hair and keep it in place with 3 separate ponytail holders. Once you have learned the technique of creating these 3 ponytails, you can diversify by using colorful decorative accessories. For the adventurous, you can even add highlighting or tons of color to it.
As illustrated, long casual hairstyles can be really fun. All it really takes is some creativity and a sense of adventure.

Hairstyles For The Office



L
ong Hairstyles For The Office - Fall Winter 2010 Hair Edition

I have made a personal observation. In this particular observation, I noticed that the majority of female news broadcasters have short to medium-length hair while the entertainment section consists of mostly long-haired counterparts. While it is true that there may be different hairstyles to suit different occasions and professions, by no means that you cannot grow long hair if you work in the office!

2010 Long Hairstyle For The Office

The beauty of long hair is that it can be worn in many different ways. Office women with long hair can either just wear them long in a neat way or have them tied up either with a ponytail holder, hair sticks or barrettes. By using low key hair accessories, you are able to have an elegant updo while still maintaining an authoritative air of professionalism around it; all this while still looking good! Your beautiful long hair can easily complement your business suit or other formal attire if you were a little creative. Try pulling your long hair back and tying it up with elegant hair pieces. This can give you a very professional and clean look that can suit any office environment.
If you want a change, a professional but soft look can be achieved by using a curling iron to curl specific sections of your hair. While career women need to maintain a more professional hairstyle during their office hours, there is no saying that they cannot transform it into a fun style with the use of fancy accessories. The idea is knowing what is appropriate for the right occasion. Who says long haired women cannot have the best of both worlds – professionalism during the day and fun during the night.

No matter what the reason is, certain hairstyles can help to bring out the best features of a specific face shape while hiding the flaws. The same applies for those of you with long faces. Basically, what you would want to achieve is to lessen the effect of a long, narrow face by adding width to it. With the right kind of long hairstyle, you will be able to give the illusion of a shorter and fuller face.
Long Hairstyle Idea For Long Face

For those of you who have a straight hairstyle, you can add some width to your face with bangs. Bangs are exceptionally effective because it tends to cover up a large area (if not entirely) of the forehead. The best bet would be side-swept bangs. Avoid the blunt bangs.

Next, waves and curls can be used to adverse effects because it can give the illusion of a wider face. It can add width to the sides of your face. However, if you want to do that, avoid short layers as it can give more volume on the top area which will lengthen the face. Instead, go for longer layers.

As a general rule of thumb, what you need to do to give the impression of a wider face is to try and add bangs and curls. These two are the best bet for those of you who have long, narrow faces. Layering is also good, especially long layers as it can create horizontal lines.

Long Hair For Oval Faces



Long Hair For Oval Faces - The Most Versatile Face Shape Is Oval

Oval faces are said to be the most versatile among all face shapes. This simply means that you have more flexibility and options to style your long hair. Most hairstyles will work for you but there are some that will work better than the others. Let's have a closer look.
Long Hair For Oval Faces - Sienna Miler

A good style that comes to mind is one that is long and curly. You can increase the effects by having really long layers that rests on the cheekbones and chin. For those of you who are petite, having longer hair in the back will be good as not to wear down upon the face. Avoid extra long hair on the front because it will make you look older if you are small-sized.
The next hairstyle that can accentuate an oval face is the long and beachy waves. However, avoid overly long hair. The best bet would be about 2-3 inches below the shoulders. Wavy long is a good complement to oval face shapes. If you must, taper the cuts on the end of the hair as it can look really good. Sienna Miller, whose face is classic oval have been spotted wearing this long hairstyle to adverse effects.
Bangs are good for oval faces too. You can try a variety of long hairstyles with bangs. Long layers are good as opposed to short ones which can add height at the top of your head area.

Long Hair For Round Faces



Long Hair For Round Faces - Opt For a Layered Style, 2010 Hair Tips

For those of you who have been experiencing difficulties in determining the hairstyle to wear, one easy way is to first look at the shape of your faces. For those of you who have round faces, long hair can still look good for you if you wear it in a specific manner. The first style that I would recommend for those of you who have a classic round face is the full-swept bangs. This can accentuate the features of your face if worn correctly. Kelly Osbourne is a celebrity who has a classic round face, but she rather wear short hair.
Penelope Cruz - Classic Round Face

Round faces can look good with long to very long hairstyles. However, instead of opting for straight or heavy bangs, opt for a layered style. Keep the sides of the hair as short as close to the face as you could possibly do. If you want to have a long curly style, curl it around the crown area but not near the cheeks. This is done with the intention of creating height.
Don't be afraid to wear your hair long. The key idea is to wear your more toward the face area to give the impression of a more oval face shape to your otherwise round face. Regardless of everything, you should remember to wear a hairstyle that you are comfortable with and enjoy wearing. Round faces can look good in long hairstyles unlike the common perception. All it takes is a little knowledge and some effort. If you are not confident on your own, ask your hairdresser for help.
