Hot & Long Hairstyles For Women 2010

Flowing long hairstyles is the hot trend for 2010. It is so gorgeously feminine that it is considered to be one of the hottest styles of the year. So the idea is to just let it flow - whether you have a naturally voluminous or straight and sleek hair. Thick long hair with waves will sizzle; and if you want to get the kind of volume and wave that this hairstyle is all about, use very large curlers. Don't forget, though that you want waves, not curls. The waves you're looking for are very much like the kind you get if you braid your hair while wet. You allow it to dry and then when you remove the braid, you get perfect uniform waves.

Long, straight and sleek hairstyles and the connotation of smooth and silky is not such a big issue in 2010. As long as it passes the criteria for sleek, you've got style! This look is easily achievable by blow drying the hair straight for a bed head sleek effect or you can follow it up with the use of a flat iron for a super smooth look.

Another good thing about a sleek long hairstyle is you can wear it in on any occasion. Specific styles include precision cuts, layered and razored hairstyles or the more classic one length look. Layered and razored cuts usually need styling products and a little extra effort to bring out the best look. Here are some specific designs that will show you what's going to be gorgeous in the coming months. Each of these is an update of longer designs you've probably already known in the past years, so it should be easy to get the desired effect.

Sideways Pony Tail

Give your hair bun a touch of variation and push it over to one side. For exaggerated effect, you can do a deep side-part. Apply a straightening balm to damp hair and comb while gathering hair into a low pony tail just above your ear. Secure the tail by wrapping it around the base, forming a bun. Bobby pin some section and let small wispy piece slip out.

Flick and Toss

Modify last year's polished look by keeping the top half of the tresses smooth and the bottom part disheveled. A large round brush should be used with the sleek blow-dry from the roots to your chin. Spurt a small amount of texturizing hair spray to the rest of the strands simultaneously twisting small sections with your fingers while blow drying. This would give you tousled tips.

Wild Waves

In 2009, romantic waves rated 4 on the scale of for wildness. This year, go for 11 and you'd never go wrong as far as trend is concerned. Apply mouse to your damp mane and tousle the roots while continuously blow drying. Divide into four section, while hair is still slightly warm and start braiding each. Allow it to cool and after a while undo and flip your head over and shake everything out to get untamed voluminous waves.

Twists Instead of Braids

Doing braid on your own can be quite tricky, so opt for the easy way out and do some quick twists instead. Get a 3-inch section of hair on one side of your usual hair part, and then divide it in two. Form a tight weave by crisscrossing one section over the other. Hold in place with a hair tie that blends into your tresses.
