It would seem that it is difficult to do hairstyles to the side on long hair? But there are subtleties and secrets here. In order for such hairstyles to look good and last for a long time, you need to take into account some important details. Check out all the classic and trendy side-length hairstyles for long hair.

One of the most fashionable types is the "Hollywood braid". What is its feature? Such a hairstyle can be made from long hair or with the help of overhead strands from which a braid will be formed. It is desirable that the hair have different lengths (haircut like a long cascade). The sequence for creating a Hollywood hairstyle to the side:
1. Comb your hair.
2. Make a low parting left or right depending on your preference.
3. Comb all the hair on your head to one side. Then braid the braid starting from the neck. The braid can be braided in the classic way, or you can make a fishtail weave or some other non-traditional weave.
4. Secure the end of the braid with an elastic band and, if desired (depending on the thickness of your hair), part the coils of the braid to give it more volume. This operation is done starting from the beginning of the braid and moving towards its end.
5. Now take care of the top part of the hairstyle to the side. Carefully use the tail of the comb to selectively select short strands over the entire surface of the head. It is with them that we will continue to work.
6. Spray the styling agent all over the hair on your head. Separating the strands, wind them onto the curling iron (wind in the direction away from the face). This is necessary to give volume and wavy structure to the hair.
7. When all the strands are slightly curled, do not forget to fix the hairstyle with hairspray.

For such a hairstyle, on the contrary, you need to straighten clean hair with an iron. To get the effect of gloss, you should carefully comb your hair, fix it and cover it with hairspray. After that, comb through again immediately with a comb (preferably with frequent teeth). This type of hairstyle to the side can look good only for owners of thick, even hair. Combined options look original when a smooth “crown” is combined with curly curls. A knot or “tail” looks very impressive as a side hairstyle. It is worth paying attention to a fashionable element - attaching the tail in the form of an imitation of a "shell". This is a rather unusual hairstyle - the hair is twisted to one side at the base of the head behind the ear and secured with hairpins. If alength allows, you can make a beautiful knot. If the hair is of medium length, then the attachment point is decorated with decorative hairpins with rhinestones or a beautiful hairpin.
The traditional way of disguising the attachment point - a strand of hair wrapping around the base of the "tail" - is still relevant.
Hairstyles to the side with curls
This is the easiest way to style this type of hairstyle.
1. Twist all the hair from the base to the very ends. Use a curl fixer.
2. Collect strands in random order and throw them over your shoulder. Fasten the curls at the base of the occipital area with invisible hair so that the hair does not get disheveled. You can lift and secure the curls over your ear.
