So, for three years I\u2019ve grown my hair back to its original long locks, and I\u2019m so excited that it\u2019s finally the length I want it to be. Long hair is especially fun because there are so many styles you can create with it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The possibilities are truly endless. Of course, long locks have downsides, too, namely that longer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/archive\/half-up-half-down-hair\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hairstyles<\/a> tend to add more time to your morning routine. However, it almost always pays off when you look gorgeous all day long.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Of course, not all long styles have to be time-consuming. Here are five ways to style long hair beautifully in a short amount of time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to style Long hair<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Voluminous half-and-half<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"263\" height=\"350\" class=\"wp-image-124100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Jessica-Simpson.jpeg\" alt=\"Jessica Simpson\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Jessica-Simpson.jpeg 263w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Jessica-Simpson-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 263px) 100vw, 263px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Source: People.com<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>With a good hairspray and a teasing tool, you, too can have major volume like this. &nbsp;Tease your hair at the crown and gently smooth backwards, securing with pins that match your hair color. &nbsp;Use a curling iron or a clip-free curling barrel to create gorgeous tresses like Jessica\u2019s.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Casual side braid<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"375\" height=\"282\" class=\"wp-image-124101\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Lea-Michelle.jpeg\" alt=\"Lea Michelle with hair in a side braid\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Lea-Michelle.jpeg 375w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Lea-Michelle-300x226.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Lea-Michelle-320x240.jpeg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Source: People.com<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For this style, gather your hair to one side and begin French braiding from the scalp. &nbsp;Don\u2019t worry about a nice, perfect braid; it\u2019s all about being carefree. &nbsp;Also, you don\u2019t have to have bangs to pull this off, but it would add a bit of style to have a few pieces of hair to frame your face.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sleek topknot<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Ah, the topknot. &nbsp;I love that it\u2019s not just for ballerinas anymore. &nbsp;It\u2019s so simple, yet so classy. &nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Begin by gathering your hair in a high ponytail. &nbsp;Be sure to smooth your hair back so that it is nice and sleek. Now, tightly twist the ponytail into a bun and secure. &nbsp;If you have layers in your hair that cause a few strands to come loose, no worries! Just let them hang. &nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Want to add a little more interest?
