My hair is past my shoulders and I’m tired of leaving it open for work.
I need something that doesn’t get in my way when I’m working at my desk and also something that looks a bit more polished and professional.
Can someone please suggest some style(s) that comes across more finessed, is tied up but not necessarily up-tight 
and of course, is easy to put together in the mornning…

ive always loved “rachel” hair on friends…and i particularly loved she had her hair in this style…
it has a little “puff” in the front…but somethign not too dramatic..very subtle
Re: Professional Hairstyles For Longer Hair
yeahh!
a quif…with hair tied back…looks good
my hairs long so i alwayz have it either straightened and on one side or i just do a quif with hair tied back or plaited 
Re: Professional Hairstyles For Longer Hair
ponytails are for little girls in school....beyond that they look like you just don't care.
Plaits are good if they are french.
I was thinking more along the lines of an upated french roll or something. ......
Re: Professional Hairstyles For Longer Hair
i love ponytails!!!
french roll? u said u wanted something easy!!
but i'll look around for u...got not else better to do...
Re: Professional Hairstyles For Longer Hair
I can't stand french twists.
Re: Professional Hairstyles For Longer Hair
Okay my hair is way past my shoulders...partly intentional and partly because i'm too busy to go and get it cut.
French plaits - look cute and sexy (especially when its in a messed up style)
Ponytails - efficient and professional
Other suggestions is u could use hair grips to partly pin back some hair on one side (or both sides if u really want it out of the way).
A braid, but using ponytail hairbands instead...so that the braid consists of 4/5 hairbands.
Oh, and there used to be a style in the 90's (cannot for trying remember what is was called)...but basically u have a ponytail, and then u split the hair on the back crown of the head and pull the pon through it (i know its not a very good description! sorry)
Or otherwise go with a french bun.
Re: Professional Hairstyles For Longer Hair
side-parted hair tied into a low sleek ponytail looks really nice and professional.
I also like those high ponytails with the crown back-combed and puffed up (but thats sort of a mod look i guess)
Re: Professional Hairstyles For Longer Hair
uff...all of you and the ponytails....
Re: Professional Hairstyles For Longer Hair
^ actually I did the rachel thing today and I've gotten complimented twice. :)
Re: Professional Hairstyles For Longer Hair
Ponytail is not only for little girls in school :halo: I do it all the time..and i m not a little girl..I think if you have it done nicely..it looks very professional..

Gosh I remember that...I think it was called a topsy tail or something of the sort...
Muzna: how about a low bun...? Gather and tie hair at the nape of your neck and twist and pin to form a bun in the style of your choosing...
High buns can look uptight sometimes...but I think low low buns are very chic...
