Long hairstyles: 27 ageless celebrity looks that will flatter every face shape

Long hairstyles will never go out of style, so forget that hackneyed rule that says you have to chop it all off when you hit 40. With the right cut and care, either looks fabulous at every age.

The trick is getting the right style for long hair and making sure your hair is in great condition. Blow drying is crucial, as is using heat protection, and visiting your salon for regular trims. Getting rid of the notion that short haircuts over 40 are mandatory, more women than ever women are embracing length with back-grazing styles. 

"Long hair is definitely a trend. I think the past few years have given people a lot more time to think about their look and where they want to take it. For people considering growing out haircuts or pushing to get the longer hair they have always wanted, this has been the year to do it," says Jonathan Andrew, Fudge Professional Global Brand Ambassador. We've curated our pick of the most flattering long hairstyles, from blunt bangs to flattering face-framing layers.
