Long Hair With Bangs
Long hair with bangs is flattering because bangs are flattering. Anyone can wear long hair, but it can drag a face down, but bangs are always fresh and fabulous as long as you can maintain them. From blunt bangs to side-swept bangs, they're an excellent way to add maturity to your look without going too serious. Keep in mind the maintenance, though. Many salons offer free bang trims, but if you can't be bothered to travel every few weeks to see your stylist, you can just learn how to trim your own bangs. Make sure you get the right scissors.
Long Hair, Side-Swept Bangs
No matter your age, you can get away with long hair—as long as it's in good condition. Avoid overdoing it on the chemical treatments, and pay attention to products and heat that might damage your hair. It's easier to maintain healthy hair than it is to try and restore damaged hair.
If blunt bangs aren't your style, you'll find that long, side-swept bangs are extremely flattering and stylish when paired with long, straight hair.
The Shag Hairstyle
A shoulder-length cut that looks just a bit whispy is fabulous. Shags are super popular, because they look casual and unfussy but can be blow-dried into something a little more sophisticated. With the right cut, the shag can be air dried to perfection. Just a few spritzes of a sea salt spray (or Amika's No Salt Spray, $25,) a few scrunches with your hands, and you're on with your day.
Gorgeous Color
While you may have played with funky hair color in your 20s, you might feel like that time in your life is over and you want to stick with something more subdued. You can color your hair any way you like still, though you might want to be more careful and choose one that flatters your skin tone.
