1. Shoulder-Grazing Hair

One of the easiest ways to wear your long hair is by wearing your locks down! To achieve your style, start off with freshly washed hair using the AXE Max Hydrate 2-in-1 Shampoo + Conditioner for clean, soft hair. You can always blow-dry your hair to get it dry and shiny quickly. Then brush your hair back and to the side for a simple angled parting.
