Quick and Easy Long Hairstyles
The Barbie Doll Ponytail
When it's fixed the right way, a ponytail can make you look like a Barbie Doll. Start with clean hair and sweep your ponytail neatly to the crown of your head and set in place with a holder. Your bangs should sweep to the sides.

If you have flyaways or frizz, spray them and press them down gently. The hair that hangs down from the ponytail should also be somewhat neat. If you have straight hair, make sure it's combed, then lightly spray it with hairspray to keep it from looking tangled. If you have curly hair, then spray it with hairspray and scrunch it up. Big hair is in right now, so go for big scrunchy curls.

Long and Curly Hairstyling
Thanks to celebrities like Taylor Swift and Rachelle LeFevre from "New Moon" with their beautiful curls, women can proudly wear curly hair without feeling outdated. To get their look don't brush your hair when you get out of the shower. Instead, finger comb it and apply hair gel. Blow dry your hair on a cool setting while fluffing it. Once it is dry, lightly spray hairspray on one section at a time while finger curling your hair.
How to finger curl: take a long strand of hair and wrap it around your finger. Remember as a kid how you would twist your hair while you were daydreaming? It's the same technique. Spray it and go on to the next. You don't have to do this to all of your hair, only the parts that need separating. Finish with a shine spray to liven up dull hair.
