Some of us like to wear our hair long for many reasons. Most long hair wearers feel like it is easier to care for when it is long. Being able to pull it back into a ponytail or just pinning it back in a clip makes having long hair easy to style.
Long hair does need to be trimmed every four to six months. This depends on the condition of the ends and the layers, if it is layered. Some hair types don't need to trim as often as others do, fine hair needs trimming more than thicker textures do. It all depends on the condition the ends are in.
Today's generation of females have many different long hairstyles they can choose from. Here are some long hair-cuts you might want to consider if you have long hair and want a change.
A Long Undercut - This haircut has the same dynamics as the chin length or shoulder length 'Bob'. The hair is cut from the bottom to the top making each layer a little longer than the one under it. This gives the hair a heavier weight line at the ends and with most hair textures it will curve under slightly. The more curly the hair texture is, the more the hair will curl under.
A Long Layered cut - Is layering long hair on the ends with just a few inches of layering from the bottom up. It gives most hair textures a lighter weight line on the ends. Wavy textures can really benefit from this cut and show off those curls and waves. Fine hair is also very pretty with this haircut.
A Long Blunt cut - This haircut is cut straight across at the same length on each layer, so the hair is all one length on the ends. This makes the ends of the haircut, blunt. Great on fine hair and especially on children's hair, it also looks well with wavy hair. Some very curly, thick hair types can also use this type of haircut to weight their unruly tresses down.
A Long Graduated cut - A long graduated cut is cut from the bottom to the top with each layer getting shorter until it blends into the top or into bangs. This haircut is especially good on wavy and curly hair, but any thick hair type will also blend in great. Not always good on fine hair, because the weight of the fine hair is too light. With bangs this haircut has also been known as the 'Shag' or the 'Gypsy Shag'.
