Having and maintaining long hair is definitely not the easiest thing in the world. Yes, having a nice, long, cared for hair looks beautiful but it takes a huge part of your day to manage and style it. And in the busy life of every working woman, where everything is done on foot there is not always time to sport a nice and neatly done elegant hairstyle. So, that’s why here we are going to give you a list of easy-to-do quick hairstyles for a long hair done in no time and the hair still looks neat and classy.
The Back Braid
For this style you need to take a few strands a side of the hair which you prefer and start making a normal braid. You need to make it long enough, so you can take it across the back of the head all the way to the other side and pin it down using some bobby pins. That way it keeps the rest of the hair in place and it is still loose on the shoulders and it doesn’t bother your eyes and forehead.
The Criss Cross
This is one more very efficient and still easy-to-do style. It is pretty simple to do, just take the hair in the front and some from the sides and separate it into two thick locks. Brush them to the opposite sides and kind of wrap them together and pin them in order to stay in place.
The Front Braid
This is probably of the simplest and yet classiest looks on the list. It is as simple as it gets, just part the hair deeply from a preferred side and make French style braid all the way to the other side and pin it down above the ear.
Simple Bump
Sometimes when you are completely out of time, just a simple bump of fluff at the crown can make it look fashionable and beautiful. It is done in no time at all, just use your hands to tease the hair a bit in order to get a good bump, then pin it down and use the locks on the side to get bigger volume.
The French Side Braid
This one is pretty similar to the first two, as here again we have a simple French braid that starts at the side of the head but this time get a much bigger and thicker part of the hair and braid all the way down to one side. If don’t like the French type, it could also be done in different kinds of braids to maintain variety.

It a deviation from the standard pony and it gives you a very nice look and keeps the long hair neat and classy and most importantly – in place. It is very simple to do. When you get the pony tie at the back just use your fingers to make a small hole in the tie and loop the pony through it.
