12 Long Hairstyles That Feel Fresh for 2025
All the long hairstyle inspiration you need.
Long hair—the elusive hairstyle nearly all of us have chased at one point or another—is still having a major moment.
“It’s safe to say long hair is making a comeback,” says A-list hairstylist and OUAI founder Jen Atkin. “For longer lengths, you want to be sure to ask your stylist for face-framing layers. This way, the cut flatters your features and can be styled up with soft tendrils around the hairline.”
Long, luscious lengths have long been considered the epitome of classic beauty — though flowing locks aren’t always attainable for those who struggle to grow beyond the shoulders. For the lucky few who already have long hair (and for the extension devotees), we’ve rounded up the chicest long hairstyle ideas worth trying now.
And for everyone else? Let this be the reminder you need to book that trim and finally put those hair masks to good use.
