11 Original Hairstyle Ideas For Long Hair That Prove Your Strands Can Do A Lot — VIDEOS

When it comes to long hair, the styling possibilities are endless. But as anyone with a long mane knows, that can also mean overwhelming. If this sounds familiar, look no further for cute, original hairstyle ideas for long hair. Feeling bored and tired of your Rapunzel-esque tresses? These easy, unique ideas are sure to give you long hair inspiration that'll make you glad you skipped that salon appointment meant to cut it all off.

Growing up, I always rocked short locks. My dad would take me to the salon (aka the barber shop) to get a Number 5: Long in the front and buzzed in the back. As I grew older, however, I rebelled and let my mane grow long. And I mean long.

I love my long hair, but I've learned that styling it can be surprisingly tough. Sure, I can figure my way around a bun and a sleek ponytail. But even just thinking about wrapping each and every strand into a tailored up-do or a heat-styled, half-up-half-down, look can leave me dumbfounded.

Thankfully, the talented vloggers of YouTube know plenty of easy, chic ways to get long hair styled into gorgeous aesthetics. From up-dos, to spins on classics, to intricate braids, these inspiring tutorials should renew your appreciation for your long hair.
