The saying ‘blondes have more fun’ couldn’t be more appropriate during these summer months, which is why we’re all heading to the salon and opting for lighter shades, buttery highlights or those sandy tones that were made for beach days.

But how do you style beautiful long blonde locks? Take a look at our top 10 favourite hairstyles for long blonde hair and that all-important celebrity inspiration to get you started.

Hairstyles for Long Blonde Hair: Top 10

Beach Waves

The ‘go to’ summer style which is both elegant and easy to maintain has got to be the relaxed beach waves look. Long blonde hair was made for this! Whether you’ve got access to curlers or just straighteners, this is really achievable and looks so pretty on highlighted hair. And who doesn’t love long blonde wavy hair?

Sleek and Straight

For a more glamorous, effortlessly chic style, letting your straighteners do what they do best is both simple and effective. We think this will be perfect for those sporting long blonde hair with a fringe too.

Corkscrew Curls

We may be throwing it back to the 80s with this one, but for bouncy, larger than life curls, the corkscrew effect is such a winner! If you’ve got long blonde curly hair, this may be easier to achieve, but if not, don’t despair. All you need is time, patience and a little bit of confidence to pull this off. It looks even better after a night’s sleep, too!

Casual Up Do

For work days and weekends, a casual up do is perfect when it’s either really warm, or you’re feeling the ‘bad hair day vibes’. This looks great with the texture in long blonde layered hair and we’d recommend adding a slight curl before reaching for the hair ties for a little added volume.

The Top Knot

Super cute and super easy, the messy top knot is great for adding something different to your traditional half up, half down look. This also works wonders when you’re desperately wanting to get hair away from your face but still feel you’ve made an effort. Celebs are also loving this one right now.

Centre Parting

Think Kardashian glamour with this one. Centre partings look amazing on long blonde hair with a full fringe, as well as more oval face shapes. Whether you prefer your hair straight or curly, this style works every time.

Side Parting

A deep side parting adds volume, more shape around your face and was made for long blonde layered hair. Flattering and modern, try this out during summer with relaxed curls or more structured waves for Hollywood glam.
