Sure, the lob may be the reigning cool-girl cut. And you may have a few friends who are snipping their strands into impossibly chic pixies. But that doesn't mean we've turned up our noses on Rapunzel-like length. Oh, no — in fact, the beauty industry is still majorly infatuated with down-to-there hair.
What's more, there are a ton of gorgeous hairstyles you can pull off with long hair. And we've rounded up some of our favorites for the next time you feel a style slump coming on. Click through for major long-hair inspiration, from updos to boho waves.
All you need is some glossy pomade, a dollop of mousse and a handful of bobby pins to recreate this sleek look. The best part is you can totally rock it at brunch the next day.

Too lazy to do much of anything to your 'do? Try this trick: Run a cocktail of hair balm and mousse through just the top half of damp hair, then apply the excess left on your hands through your lengths. Smooth hair into a low, loose pony or bun, and let it dry. Remove and your natural texture will be left with added movement just through the bottom. C'est chic!
