Long hairstyles should have lots of natural texture, flirtatious flips and long loose layers whether your hairstyle is straight, wavy or curly. This extremely versatile cut suits a wide variety of face shapes and can be as casual or dressy as you need to be. Long hairstyles allow you to let down your hair, place it in pony tails, and bundle it up in decorative designs. If you have a long hairstyle, it's best to take care of it or don't have it at all. When choosing long layered hair styles the first step is to determine which style works with the shape of your face. Long layers are essential for this type of hair style to lay correct. Another great tip is to blow dry the hair with a large round brush, directing all layers down and under.

Long Hairstyles for Celebrity - Gwyneth Paltrow long hair

Long or “Oblong”

Styles that are flattering: Brow-skimming bangs (I plan to never go without them again). Chin-length bobs are also ideal for us because they create the illusion of width. Gwyneth Paltrow’s shoulder-length bob is very flattering on a long face. Just make sure your stylist cuts the hair a bit shorter in the back so it doesn’t look boring. Curls and waves work well because they add width to the face.

For my new hair I'm still experimenting The back is cut so I can spike it out But I've decided to go with wax to spike it which i'm still experimenting with (hence why i have no pictures of that) If you have really long hair i'd suggest some type of wax, simply because it has structure and seems less like lethal spikes than gel, and texturizer would barely help and you'd be holding everything up with hairspray alone otherwise. However it would be a similar idea.

A Bevy of Gluten-Free: Fruit and Vegetables

Jewels at the farmers' market -- naturally gluten-free.

Walking the Santa Monica Farmers' Market beneath dove gray December skies I fell in love with the quiet beauty of seasonal fruits and vegetables protected under netting. There is something so poetic, so archetypal about it. So shy and evocative. Seductive and beckoning. So downright bridal. So understated gorgeous. So rather than waxing all Emily Dickinson on ya and conjuring words for the experience I thought I might use my camera instead.

And let my pictures do the talking.

Chocolate Quinoa Brownies- Gluten-Free and Vegan

Vegan gluten-free brownies made with quinoa flakes.

Your stubborn and chocolate obsessed gluten-free goddess has been working overtime. In between shooting photographs of the holiday lights and skaters in Santa Monica and battling the return of the flu I fought off some weeks ago (I believe in recycling, Darling, but this is a wee bit ridiculous) I have been utterly possessed. Haunted by the ghost of chocolate brownies. Vegan chocolate brownies, to be exact (because I've already served up the best egg-based gluten-free brownie I can think of, so if you haven't tried my Dark Chocolate Brownie recipe or the Chocolate Brownie made with pecan meal, Darling- Go!).

Baking failures do not sit pretty with yours truly. Especially when I am achy and voiceless and my head feels like a giant damp wad of gluten-free dough with too much xanthan gum added (you gluten-free bakers know exactly what I'm talking about). I feel like the goddess of sticky, thick and dull. And there ain't no cure. Except maybe a hot toddy. Or three.

Lucky for me I have a husband who likes to bake. A husband who says (as his brittle, grumpy hot-flashing wife is muttering expletives and scraping another gooey not-in-a-good-way gluten-free vegan brownie failure into the perky polka dotted trash can), So. 

How can we make this work?

For a split second I panic and think, He's over it. He's finally tired of living gluten-free. Living without baguettes and bagels and croissants out of love, a sense of duty, or comradeship and support. 

He's done. Finished. He's out the door, no looking back.

Dark Chocolate Brownies- The Best Gluten-Free Recipe

A rich dark chocolate gluten-free brownie that will make you smile.

I have a confession to make (although those of you following me on Twitter might not be surprised). My confession? I baked a batch of mint chocolate brownies today. And they flopped. Totally. Why? Because I made them without eggs and the egg replacer didn't work. Who knew the dense and fudgy texture of a chocolate brownie relied so much on eggs? You'd think I'd know this by now. I've had more egg-free brownie failures than I care to count. But I was hopeful. And it wasn't just pie-in-the-sky hopeful. It was based on evidence.

Jennifer Garner Bangs Hairstyles

Jennifer Garner Bangs Hairstyles

Jennifer Garner is one of those actresses who always look beautiful. She can wear her hair long, short, with or without bangs and look great. Here are a couple of her hairstyles with bangs.

High Ponytail
This look is simple and gorgeous. Make sure your hair is nice and sleek and part it on the side. Put it up into a high ponytail, leaving your bangs loose. Secure your ponytail with elastic, pretty clip, barrette, or whatever you like to use. Sweep your bangs across your forehead so that they seem to blend in with your hair. This look requires a good bit of styling products – hairspray and styling gel mainly – and you may need a smaller clip or barrette to hold your bangs in place. Nonetheless, it is a beautiful and classy look.

Wavy Bangs
Another gorgeous style is when Jennifer wore her hair to her shoulders and had eye-length bangs. To get this look, cut your bangs where they are just above your eyes. Use a wide barrel curling iron to put some loose curls into your hair, close to the ends. Loosen the curls with your fingers if you prefer waves. Part your bangs about three-fourths of the way across, on the side and then let them just drift across your forehead. This is a very feminine style that softens facial features and is flattering to any shape face. Try layers for a more versatile look. This style can be modified a number of ways – use your imagination and be original!

Beyonce’s Long Shaped Hairstyle

Beyonce’s Long Shaped Hairstyle

You know that you look good as a celebrity if you keep ending up on the covers of magazines with positive words around your images and you don’t even change your look that much! Beyonce hasn’t changed her overall look much, but the variations on her long shaped style have really worked to get her in nearly every fashion magazine that’s for sure!

But what is so interesting about Beyonce’s look is that is appears so natural. It isn’t forced with all kinds of flashy colors. Beyonce plays it cool, calm, and collected with understated classic beauty and neutral tones. We saw this look captured at the second annual Fashion Rocks event with her long, shaped hairstyle in long, wavy curls. The length of her hair was grown to below her shoulders and the bangs and sides were angle layered to frame her face. This is a perfect style for medium or thick hair, but it takes a little work to get it right.

Your stylist has to be with you to pull off this look honey! Even the most natural curly hair needs a little help with at least some styling products, a really good cut, and a curling iron. If you couple all of those things with some patience you can pull this look off too. This one is not for the street, this is for elegant evening gowns or bride’s maid dresses only. And it will only last one night, so enjoy it while it lasts! So take lots of pictures!
