Pampering Yourself on the Road

Long hair is versatile and fun to style. You can easily switch up your look with a few simple hair styling techniques. And, you don't have to spend a lot of money or time to achieve a great style.

Here are a few hair styling options for people with long hair.

Braids

Braids are a classic hairstyle that can be dressed up or down. They are also perfect for keeping your hair out of your face. French braids and fishtail braids are two popular options.

To achieve a French braid, divide your hair into three sections. Then, cross the outer section over to the middle section. Next, take the innermost section and cross it over the new middle section. Repeat this process until you reach the end of your hair.

To create a fishtail braid, you'll now need to divide your hair into two sections. Then, take a small piece of hair from the outside of one section and cross it over to the other section. Next, take a small piece of hair from the outside of the other section and cross it over to the first section. Repeat this process until you reach the end of your hair.

There are a few things to keep in mind if you want braids that last all day. First, make sure your hair is clean and free of any products. This will help the braid to stay in place better. Second, use a small amount of hair gel or hair spray to help keep fly-aways in place. Finally, be sure to secure the end of the braid with a hair tie to keep your hair from coming undone.

Curls

If you're looking for a hairstyle with a bit more volume, curls are a great option. You can use a curling iron or hair rollers to achieve this look. When using a curling iron, be sure to use heat protectant spray on your hair to avoid damaging it.

Start by sectioning off your hair and then wrapping small sections of hair around the curling iron. Hold the hair in place for a few seconds before releasing it. Repeat this process until all of your hair is curled.

If you're using hair rollers, start by spraying your hair with a heat protectant spray. Then, take small sections of hair and wrap them around the hair roller. Be sure to secure the hair roller in place with a hair clip.

Repeat this process until all of your hair is rolled. Allow your hair to set for a few minutes before removing the hair rollers. Once you've achieved the desired level of curl, add a bit of hairspray or serum to help keep your curls in place.
