14 Sexy Hairstyles for Long Hair
1. High Ponytail
The high ponytail is one of the classic sexy hairstyles for long hair that you keep going back to for two reasons: one, the “swish” effect—the way your hair moves across your shoulders can be mesmerizing; and two, it’s the perfect way to show off both your face and your hair at once.
2. Box Braids High Ponytail
Box braids high ponytails are another classic way to have sexy long hair. Keep your style glossy (and frizz-free) looking with Nexxus Humectress Encapsulate Serum.
3. Accent Braid
Create a single face-framing French braid, and then keep the rest of your hair loose. One of the many easy sexy hairstyles for long hair that’s on this list.
4. Middle Part and Crimped Details

5. ’80s Bangs
Go retro-sexy with a thick full fringe and some volume at the crown. Back comb hair and then set it with TRESemmé Compressed Micro Mist Hairspray Extend Hold Level 4 for a long-lasting hold that keeps hair touchably soft.
6. Box Braids and Waves
Wear your box braids with loose ends in a half-up style.
7. Loose Curls
When hair is damp, run Dove Style+Care Volume Amplifier Mousse through your hair. The mousse prevents flyaways and frizz while adding volume. Then using a curling iron, create big, loose curls.
8. Braided Updo
Who says updos are all about placing your hair on top of your head? Create a braided updo with hair long and loose. Braids are easy to create on second-day hair. Use Suave Professionals Natural Refresh Dry Shampoo to freshen up your locks; infused with Argan oil, it also adds shine.
9. Blue Ombré and Curls
Toss on blue ombré highlights and create big, loose curls to show off that hue.
10. Halo Braid

12. Slick It Back
Yes, long hair can be slicked back. The trick is to slick it back around your hairline, then keep the rest of the hair straight and smooth. Your secret weapon is TRESemmé TRES Two Ultra Firm Control Gel.
13. Deep Side Part
Whether you have relaxed hair or not, a deep side part, where you can peek out from your bangs is very sexy.
14. Curtain Bangs
