Long hair is still super popular with women (men to a lesser degree than in the 1990s).
One classic look is long, straight hair, which, for some women, happens naturally when they have straight hair. For other women, they need to use a hair straightener.
There are two main types:
- Even length; and
- Layered.
Both look great. We include both in this gallery, but you can click the layered link above to see just that style.
Enjoy our gallery below.

Everyone has loved Laura Dern since first appeared in “Jurassic Park.” Decades later, Dern is as fresh-faced and beautiful as ever, some of it because of her flawless fashion sense.
