If you've got super long hair, braid a section by your ear, then pin it around your head like a crown. Placing the plait a few inches back from your face keeps the look modern.

Long And Lush
Media Platforms Design Team
Hair that's this long is a statement in and of itself. Keep strands healthy by retiring the blow-dryer every so often and instead, twisting damp hair into a bun and letting it air dry. When you release the bun, you'll have loose waves (sans split ends!).
