Lace wigs trends, like fashion and beauty trends, are often fickle. This spring and summer, it’s all about beautiful braids and ombre hair. A few seasons ago, it was all about beachy waves. And can any of us forget the iconic “Rachel” haircut? Yup, that one is sure to go down in hair history. But is there any kind of hairstyle that is so classic, it never goes out of style? We think so.
It’s hard for long hair to fall out of fashion because it’s one of the most versatile lengths. It can be straightened, curled or styled into waves; you can wear a ponytail an updo or a half up half down style. Or, just like this summer’s popular hair trend, you can sport some fun braids. Your styling options are virtually limitless, as is the way you cut it too. Bangs, long layers or short, sassy layers are all flattering on long hairstyles.so the lace wigs is best choice for you.
Bobs may go in and out of fashion, but healthy, long lace wigs seems to never go out of style. From young little girls and teens to 20- and 30-somethings, it’s a length that seems to suit women of most ages. And even women who are of a more mature age can pull off shoulder-length locks. It’s flirty, it’s feminine and is always a hit among the gentlemen, too.
Easy Hairstyles for Long Hair
Long Golden lace wigs
Long beautiful warm golden blonde hair should not be hidden in a ponytail or under a hat all the time. Bust it out and show it off in loose wavy curls that are the envy of all who see you.
How to style:
Blow hair out using a large round brush after applying styling crème for that extra bit of shine and control. Once hair is entirely dry, smooth medium to large sections and wrap them around the barrel of a larger curling iron or clampless curling iron. Smooth cooled curls to keep their shape but soften them up. Spray finished style with a medium hold hairspray to keep it looking soft.
Best hair product: If you plan on blow drying your hair and then a hot curling iron, make sure you use a heat protection product. You don’t want to scorch your hair. First, that smells AWFUL! And second, it will make your hair look trashy eventually by drying it out and making it fuzzy. Try Tigi Catwalk Sleek Mystique Haute Iron Spray.
Best face shape and lace wigs type:
Oval, heart, square, long, some round. Medium density with not too much natural texture will be easiest to style.
Tip: To keep the long locks from looking frayed, when shampooing and conditioning, don’t rub them around on top of your head. Instead, pull the product through the ends after shampooing/conditioning your scalp. If you’re rubbing them around on top of your head, your ends get tangled up and break more creating a lot more damage (and a bigger mess to comb through after you towel dry it!). The same goes for towel drying your hair. Wrap it up like it’s in a turban to wring out the excess water and use a shammy (yes, the same kind of thing they show you on info-mercials drying a car!) to get out as much moisture as possible. Consistent use of these techniques will help preserve the integrity of your hair and it will look a lot healthier!
Great For Work And Play
You can do this style in the morning to look professional then change your outfit and have a completely different look – without doing a thing to your hair! This is a versatile hairstyle that’s not only easy but efficient. Keep your color fresh and ends trimmed for the best effect.
How to style:
After hair is dry, curl the mid through ends and secure off to one side of your back neckline using a binder. If you don’t want anyone to see the binder, wrap a small section of hair around it and bobby pin the ends underneath. Complete the style by giving it a quick spray of firm hold hairspray.
Best hair product:
Get some boost in those roots with a powder meant to do the job: Big Sexy’s Powder Play. Sprinkle it in your roots, massage it in (feels really funny at first!), and watch your volume expand!!
Best face shape and lace wigs type:
Oval, heart, square, long, some round. Medium density with not too much natural texture will be easiest to style.
Tip: Clip-in extensions can dramatically change the look of your hair but only take a few minutes to put in with a little practice. Invest in human hair so you can treat it like your own without having to worry about melting it. It will last a lot longer, too!
Long Wavy Highlights
This killer sexy style is show-stopping with the subtle glow of sunny highlights and a few expertly placed lowlights. The loose wavy curls say you don’t have to have everything perfect to BE perfect.
How to style:
Blow it out with a large round brush after spraying in a little texturizing spray if your hair needs a little grit. Wrap random sections of dry hair around the barrel of a large curling iron. Pull on the ends to stretch them out if they’re too tight or bouncy while they’re still hot. Comb through the curls with your fingers once you’re done putting them in to soften them up, then spray with a light hold hairspray. Smooth bangs using the curling iron or flat iron if you need to.
Best hair product:
Invest in a good quality round brush for blowing your hair out. If it’s really cheap or old, the bristles will split and catch on your hair, breaking it and making it look frizzy. Spornette Italian Collection Boar Rounder gets rave reviews from users.
Best face shape and hair type:
If you’ve got the attitude, this one will work with pretty much any face shape and/or texture (as long as you have the time and product!).
Tip: Don’t overdo it on product. Too much can weigh it down or make it look stiff, which completely negates the cool vibe it’s supposed to give off.
Long And Loose Curls
Go all Hollywood and rock this glam hairstyle. Super large loose curls grace the ends and give the overall style volume. It’s soft and shiny and a total hit on the red carpet or anywhere else you choose to be!
How to style:
Blow hair out after adding styling crème and heat protection spray to damp tresses and your favorite root lifting product in the roots. Depending on your natural texture, you may need more (or less) product. Set hair in largest rollers and spray with hairspray, then apply heat if available. Let hair cool on rollers completely before removing. Use a special brush to smooth through curls while wrapping around your fingers to preserve the curl. Set the style using a finishing spray that adds shine and volume, but isn’t too stiff. The best part about having your hair up in rollers is that you can spend all that extra time while they’re cooling getting makeup on and getting dressed. It’s hands free!
Best hair product:
Try an old-school type product for amazing curls – a setting lotion. Try Mizani Setting Lotion for wet-sets or Lotta Body Texturizing Hair Setting Lotion.
Best face shape and lace wigs type:
Oval, heart, round, square or long. Most hair textures, although some textures will get a much better result after a professional blowout.
Tip: Setting lotions aren’t just for old-lady roller sets. They can help hold that curl in for a LONG time but also make them soft and pliable. Don’t shy away because it doesn’t look trendy – it can make your hair look and feel amazing!
Long With A Deep Side Part
Let your hair down and go a little crazy with a deep part and side swept bangs, imperfect curls and lots of rough texture. Dark colors show it off so well!
How to style:
The day after you’ve had straight hair or just let it air dry overnight, toss the ends around a large barrel curling iron. Don’t worry about anything being perfect – you want the opposite! Let the curl fall, then once they’re all in, rough them up by rubbing hair between your palms and separating a bit with your fingers. A working hairspray can make this job really fast and easy. No need for a finishing spray unless you’re trying to tame some fly aways.
Best hair product:
Go with AG’s Fast Forward Dry Shampoo. Just a small spray will eliminate the greasy look and give you a little more life to your hair for the day.
Best face shape and lace wigs type:
Most face shapes and textures can achieve this style, or something close to it!
Tip: If your hair is maybe two or three days old and you’re worried about it looking greasy, use a dry shampoo. You’ll be amazed at how this simple product can change your routine!
Keep’em Long And Loose
A few loose curls in the ends of the perfect chocolate brown hair. A healthy glow and clean ends. Who could resist this style?
How to style:
Let it air dry if your natural texture is smooth or blow it out if you need the heat to calm the texture down. Wrap the ends around your curling iron for just a second then drop them. Comb through finished (and cooled) curls using your fingers and you’re done!
Best hair product:
Keep it simple with a styling product you can put in when hair is damp, like Paul Mitchell’s Quick Slip. It helps with manageability and shine, giving you a more professionally done look.
Best face shape and lace wigs type:
Oval, some round and square, long, some heart. At least medium density and a little bit of natural texture makes this style easy to do. If you’ve got thicker hair, have it thinned out just a bit or if your hair is fine, keep the length a little shorter to give the appearance of thicker hair.
Tip: Think you’ve got too much natural texture to pull off the smoother styles? Ask your stylist about new products available for natural straightening. You don’t have to grow them out and they aren’t toxic. They are supposed to wear off after 6-8 weeks, but make your hair a lot easier to manage and smooth out while they’re in your hair.
Blow It Out In Style
Say no. I dare you! This hairstyle is so gorgeous but easy, you’ll be doing it almost every day! The deeper blonde color with soft highlights gives it a glow, but you don’t have to be a blonde to rock this one out.
How to style:
After hair is dry, wrap medium sized sections around the outside of your curling iron. Don’t try to make them all match, just get them in there and let them cool before you try to mess with them. Separate any that look too big or combine a few that look too small – it should be a quick no-brainer. If you have to stop and think about every little thing, you’re trying way too hard! Spray the finished style with a medium hold hairspray.
Best hair product:
Find a good quality curling iron that gets hot enough so you don’t have to hold that hair on there forever! If you have to hold your hair on for a long time, you’re either taking too big of a section to curl or your iron isn’t hot enough. Find a professional grade curling iron that comes with a special handling tool to help keep your fingers safe from harm. The Curl Rod is perfect thanks to its tapered barrel and accompanying 3-fingered glove. (Some hair is practically impossible to curl. If this is you, head to your local super-hero stylist to check out your options. There ARE options for you!)
Best face shape and lace wigs type:
Oval, heart (depending on where you part the front, where you put your bangs, etc), round, square or long. Have to have decent density and your hair needs to be able to retain a curl. Otherwise you’re just having a futile battle with nature. Product and technique can only do so much…
Tip: If your hair isn’t thick enough and you just love the long styles, find a stylist in your area who offers keratin bond extensions. Just a few rows can dramatically increase the length and density of your hair.
Smooth Layers And Bangs
Simple long, smooth layered hair paired with really deeply parted, side swept bangs is the perfect ‘do for this Hollywood girl. Sunny blonde color adds to her bronze look.
How to style:
Blow hair out using a large round brush after tossing in a little smoothing serum. Touch up random wavy or curly hairs if you need to. A light mist of soft finishing hairspray should do the trick to keep it looking polished.
Best hair product:
Try out Fekkai’s Silky Straight Ironless Smooth Finish Serum. Helps protect against humidity, frizz and curls. Gives you more sleek and shiny hair.
Best face shape and lace wigs type:
Any face shape if you make little adjustments with your stylist, as well as any texture/density based on the products you choose.
Tip: Don’t try to blow out then flat iron your hair every single day. Your hair occasionally needs a break from all the heat and spray.
Simple And Sleek
This laid-back style is perfect for those who don’t have issues with pesky humidity or natural texture that won’t quit. Simple, clean lines make her look sweet and approachable.
How to style:
Add in your favorite styling crème or smoothing product then let air dry. Air drying cuts down on the time you have to blow it around, which just saves your hair from more damage. Complete the drying process by using the round brush, then you should be good to go!
Best hair product:
Give Biolage’s line a try – Smoothing Serum Smooththerapie claims to smooth hair cuticles, create a barrier against humidity, and gives you brilliant shine without adding extra weight… Perfect!
Best face shape and lace wigs type:
Oval, heart, some round or square, some long. Hair should have at least a medium density. Naturally smooth is the fastest way to get this style.
Tip: Try going an extra day between washing your hair. That extra day should help restore moisture that’s been lost for a long time.
