Evening hairstyles for long hair with and without bangs

Long evening hairstyles with bangs look mind-blowing. However, even if you're not into bangs, you can still get a classy hairdo — all you need is to know some tips to nail such a hairstyle.

With bangs

A classic ponytail or bun can be paired with literally any type of bangs. However, voluminous curls or braids look kind of unbalanced in combination with a fringe. In this case, you should decide whether you want to opt for another hairstyle or another type of bangs, for example, asymmetrical, choppy, or curtain bangs.

Without bangs

A parting is the focal point of an evening hairstyle. Its type depends on your facial features. For example, if you have an asymmetrical face shape, a side part may visually make it more symmetrical. For those, who have regular facial features, a slicked back hairstyle will be a perfect option. Pull your hair into an updo hairstyle to make a round or square face look longer. However, don't forget to leave some loose strands on the sides of the head or above your ears.
