Long hair has been coming back in style more and more in the past years. The extreme pixie cuts, short bobs, and half-shaved looks are all a thing of the past. The main focus of hairstyles for 2012 is a customized, flattering look for each person’s unique face shape. Stylists are concentrating less on so-called “trendy” styles, such as blunt bangs and short bobs, and more so on styling people’s hair to suit them. For instance, long layers and side bangs are highly recommended for those with round faces, as it will elongate and slim the face.

One of the biggest changes you will notice in 2012 long hair trends will be the bangs. Since everyone is more focused on enhancing their facial features rather than following trends, bangs will be used to accentuate the face, meaning you will see a huge variety in the shaping of the fringe. You will see ultra full, subtle, angled, curvy, and cropped bangs, as each face type will require a different style.

One long hair trend you will notice in 2012 will be the “slanted bob”, which will be along the lines of Katy Perry’s most recent style. The bob will be ultra long and all one length, asides from the extreme angle that is shorter in the back and longer in the front. Again, bangs will vary depending on the face shape. This is perfect for the entire year and will grow out nicely with little maintenance.

Another 2012 long hair trend that has been reinvented is the messy “french twist”. This look is perfect for long hair and is being suggested as the go-to style for the spring/summer months. It is a quick and easy look to achieve and it will make long hair more managable and stylish during the hot and humid months.

Lastly, one of the hottest long hair trends that is quickly circuiting is the long, vintage style. The most important part in creating this look is achieving a sleek and elegant hairstyle, which can easily be done by maintaining healthy, shiny hair. This will require cutting back on excessive heat styling and chemical processes, as well as, deep-conditioning with a shine enhancing product at least once a week. Half-up, volumous Brigette Bardot style hair will take center stage on the vintage front. Whether you style your hair with long, glamourous pin curls or old-school Hollywood finger waves anything and everything vintage is being reworked and is making it’s way back onto the scene. If you are looking for some great short haircuts, you can find a lot short hairstyles here.
