Going Long

Down-to-there hair is fashionable again. This time, it [macron]s shiny, swingy *and not necessarily your own. By Meirav Devash

6[currency]6Swinging hair has come a long way since the Age of Aquarius. Like bras, it used to get burned (on an ironing board) or tossed around carelessly (like fans at a Doors concert). But today, flowing hair resembles a La Perla push-up *silky, pristine, and full of body: [degrees]It [macron]s sensual and moves with you, [+ or -] says hairstylist Diego Da Silva. And while it used to take years to achieve great length, now it just takes clever fakery. [degrees]It [macron]s difficult to grow long hair and keep it healthy, [+ or -] says hairstylist Didier Malige for Fr[umlaut][bar]d[umlaut][bar]ric Fekkai Beaut[umlaut][bar]. [degrees]Extensions give you that look in a moment. [+ or -] No wonder, then, that they are a staple at fashion shows (where long hair is as prevalent as Russian accents) and in Hollywood, where more actresses are wearing them with pride. Case in point: Jessica Simpson, who, when complimented on her new style at a recent American Music Awards, said: [degrees]The hair is just glued in for tonight. [+ or -] Whether worn for an evening or a season, long hair has ascended from hippie to hip.

Going the Distance

[degrees]Long hair has to be extremely healthy or else it looks terrible, [+ or -] says Garren of the Garren New York salon. Here, expert tips for keeping it impeccable:

LAYER UP [degrees]If it [macron]s all one length, long hair makes you look a hundred years old, [+ or -] says Jessica Simpson [macron]s hairstylist, Ken Pav[umlaut][bar]s. [degrees]Layers around the jawline are fresher. [+ or -] For straight hair, choppy pieces with blunt ends are best, while waves and ringlets call for long layers throughout to help balance voluminous curls, says Ryan Trygstad of the Sally Hershberger Salon in New York City, who has snipped Uma Thurman. Just don [macron]t let your stylist use a razor on curls *it [macron]ll encourage split ends.

GET DIRTY [degrees]Hair is supposed to have some natural oil in it, [+ or -] Pav[umlaut][bar]s says. Unless you have fine or oily hair, wait as long as possible *up to a week *between shampoos. When roots start to look greasy, wash as usual or sprinkle them with a dry shampoo and comb through.
