The Most Popular Long Hairstyles

How to Create the Styles Everyone Wants

Wendy Brock
Long hair styles are very fashionable right now amongst celebrities. Let's face it, men love long hair styles. If you have long hair, consider it an empty canvas because you create so many of the current popular hair styles.

The Taylor Swift
Long hair styles like Taylor Swift's voluptuous curls are beautiful and sexy. Create the look by separating naturally curly hair after drying. Use gel or hairspray to hold the look. If you have straight hair, use rollers or a curling iron to make long spiral curls. Spray to hold and do not comb or brush.

The Nicole Richie
Her long hair styles are messy, yet fashionable and it's easy to recreate this hairstyle on long hair. Bangs can be parted to the side or left straight down. The rest of the hair can be blown dry and not brushed, but just using your fingers to run through your hair. Use a large barrel curling iron to curl small sections and spray each section with hairspray to hold the separated look. Spray down any hair at the root for a smooth look on top. Use a shine spray to reduce the dull look.

The Megan Fox
Her hairstyles change often, but it always looks good. To create the sleek look that she wears well on the red carpet, start with flat ironing your hair. Use a fine tooth comb to pull your hair back to below the crown of your head and set with a clip. Spray hair with hairspray to smooth it down and hold it in place. Use a shine spray for a dramatic effect.

The Carrie Underwood
Long layers and long bangs are a must to complete her look. If you have don't have thick hair, you'll want to use extensions to be able to create the big hair look. As on the cover of her "Play On" album, you'll need to curl your long locks with a curling iron. Tease the crown of your head to create a full look in the back and spray lightly. This messy look is hard to mess up and easy to recreate.

Remember these tips:
*The current and popular long hair styles are about looking professional, but not always perfect.
*Style your long hair a little messy for a fun and whimsical look or go sleek for a dramatic style.
*Use a shining spray to liven up dull hair.
*Smooth down the roots with hairspray for a finished look.
