If you want to get a ponytail or loose hair as an evening hairstyle, make sure your hair is in perfect condition, i.e. there are no split ends or hair breakage. If you have such problems, it's better to get hair lamination to make your hair look impeccable.

Finally, remember that the hairstyle should match your face shape. If you're in two minds about what option to get, consult with a qualified hair stylist who will recommend you the most dazzling variants.

Braids

Braids allow your imagination to go wild. Do a crown braid, complement your bun with braids, or weave some tiny braids into your regular hairstyle.

Messy braids are having a moment this season. You can wear the braid alone or turn it into a voluminous bun that will look simple yet feminine and romantic.

Evening hairstyles for long hair with and without bangs

Long evening hairstyles with bangs look mind-blowing. However, even if you're not into bangs, you can still get a classy hairdo — all you need is to know some tips to nail such a hairstyle.

With bangs

A classic ponytail or bun can be paired with literally any type of bangs. However, voluminous curls or braids look kind of unbalanced in combination with a fringe. In this case, you should decide whether you want to opt for another hairstyle or another type of bangs, for example, asymmetrical, choppy, or curtain bangs.

Without bangs

A parting is the focal point of an evening hairstyle. Its type depends on your facial features. For example, if you have an asymmetrical face shape, a side part may visually make it more symmetrical. For those, who have regular facial features, a slicked back hairstyle will be a perfect option. Pull your hair into an updo hairstyle to make a round or square face look longer. However, don't forget to leave some loose strands on the sides of the head or above your ears.

Evening hairstyles for long hair come in so many variations that it's extremely difficult to find the right one.
