Saturday Night Styling Tips for Long and Layered Hair

It's a fun, easy, and also WARM hairstyle for Saturday night …especially if it's winter and you’re anticipating waiting in line out the front of your fave London nightclub! That's why today we are looking at styling tips for getting that long, layered, slightly tousled but still sleek look that so many celebs are sporting nowadays.
Blowdry
Blowdrying is not an optional step if you're leaving your hair long and sexy. If you fail to blow dry, your hair will dry unevenly. It will also usually fall in the direction that gravity takes it … downwards! This leaves you with flat, lanky hair.
Hairspray
Keep your hair sitting where it is supposed to, rather than stuck to your neck and face, by popping some hair spray on. A lot of people do this with their head hung upside-down - I don't recommend this, because it gives you somewhat unpredictable results.
Smoothing serum
Pop a little on the top to keep your do looking polished for the entire night. Be aware that you only need a tiny bit … or else you'll just look like you haven’t washed your hair, and will weigh down your layers.
Use hidden pins
If you know that your hair tends to fall down in your face when left to its own devices, popp in a few hidden bobby pins to keep it pulled back. Don't make the pulls too severe, though, or you'll end up with bits of scalp showing through your do. Which is sort of freaky!
Curls?
Want to curl your hair? If it's long and layered, separate your hair into sixteen sections - four vertically, and four horizontally to do the curling. Or you could just get a perm … takes about the same amount of time!
Bring a clip
It can be hard to know what the inside of a nightclub in London is like until you get there - will it be crowded and sticky, or cool and breezy? Bring a clip in your bag that you can use to twist your hair simply at the back if you want to.
