20 Hairstyles for Long Brown Hair

1. Voluminous Updo

Add some height to the front of your updo.

While you may not generally consider an updo for daily wear, this voluminous iteration is both work-friendly and laid-back at the same time. Use a teasing comb to backcomb the front of your hairline, and then pull the rest of your hair back into a loose twist.

2. Voluminous Roots
