We all have our favorite blonde: a friend, celebrity, or maybe it’s YOU! We have put together our top 10 favorite long blonde hair ideas to inspire your next bombshell look. Thinking blonde but don’t want the commitment? Ask your stylist to pop in a few ‘blondies’ to lighten up!
Beachy Wave
The ease of sultry sea salt waves won’t be going anywhere anytime soon! Try this look on your long blonde locks. The best part of this style is that you can achieve this look without using heat!
1. Spray damp hair with texturizing spray or sea salt spray.
2. Create several braids (more braids = more waves!).
3. Let hair air dry.
4. Pull out the braids, gently brush through and you’re ready to go!
BONUS: Sleep in braids and awake to a quick and easy, fuss-free morning.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
Anyone can wear this style. To do this ‘no heat’ version, the longer the hair the better for the braids
Recommended Products:
We love the Surf Spray from Bumble and Bumble or Hydra-Boost Texturizing & Volumizing Spray.
Curly Dark Blonde
A great way to add some volume to your long blonde hairstyle is by adding some serious curls.
1. Prep hair with a thermal protectant.
2. Dry hair using round brush to create volume at the crown.
3. Take small sections (about one inch) and curl, working from neckline to crown.
4. Let curls cool or ‘set’.
5. Lightly finger comb through the curls, keeping the structure of the curl in tact.
6. Finish with a strong hold hairspray.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
Square, round or oval face shapes work well with curl to help soften and balance out the face shape by bringing the volume up. Medium to fine hair will hold curl well with this style.
Recommended Products:
Use Onesta Volumizing Foam on damp hair for weightless volume. Green Tea and Milk Thistle will give these curls beautiful shine.
Sleek & Straight
A great way to show off your beautiful blonde hair color is by going long, sleek and straight.
1. Spray damp hair with thermal protectant.
2. Use a large round brush or paddle brush to dry hair.
3. Using a flat iron, go though each section of hair, making sure the heat is high enough to minimize the number of passes through your hair, but low enough not to cause damage. Get a glossy finish with a shine or smoothing product.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
Any face shape or hair type can pull off this look.
Recommended Products:
The perfect product for those with fine hair is the lightweight Bamboo Smooth Kendi Dry Oil Micromist.
Long Layers
Want to do something new to your long blonde hair while still keeping the length? Ask your stylist to put a few layers in your next cut. This is also a great strategy for removing excess weight and adding more movement.
1. Spray damp hair with thermal protectant.
2. Using a large round brush dry your hair section by section.
3. Finish with a holding spray.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
A square face shape will benefit from the softness long layers provide, while round face shapes benefit as the layers will help elongate the face. Any hair type can benefit from layering!
Recommended Products:
Air Control Hairspray by Aveda won’t weigh your hair down and will give it flexible movement.
Blunt Bangs
A heavier bang is not for the light at heart, but it will give your long blonde ‘do an entirely different look.
1. Spray damp hair with thermal protectant.
2. Blow dry straight down using a paddle bush.
3. If needed, smooth over with a flat iron.
4. Pull your length over to the side and create a loose three-strand braid to achieve the look in this photo.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
A heavy bang works best on those with oblong or oval faces to create even symmetry to the face. This style is best for those without natural curl in their hair, unless you are willing to put in the extra work!

Beautiful Braid
This is an easy go-to for those days on the run, looking sassy at the gym, or when you want that extra 10 minutes of sleep in the morning.
1. Spray damp hair with thermal protectant and texturizing spray.
2. Roughly blow dry your hair or for the super on-the-go days, skip this step
3. Pull all of your hair to one side and braid
4. Gently massage and pull the braid apart to achieve the thickness and texture of the braid in on this model.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
Any and all face shapes and hair types can wear this look! Those with finer hair will have most success by NOT skipping step number two.

Face Framing Layers
This look has lots of layering done, bringing extra attention to your bombshell face! This is another great way to keep your length, yet change your shaping and pull out facial features.
1. Spray damp hair with thermal protectant.
2. Using a large round brush, dry your hair section by section, alternating bending sections towards and away from your face.
3. Finish with a holding spray and light texturizer to create “piecy” ends.
Best Face Shape and Hair Type:
This look is great for those with heart shaped faces and fine hair. Keeping the ends longer and more blunt around the parameters will create a fuller visual, while bringing layers up front gives body.
Recommended Products:
Use ColorProof FiberBlast Texture Crème to create texture on the ends of those face framing layers.
