Having spent decades working as a stylist, I know that one of the conundrums many of you face is: how to get long hair that’s full of life, shape and natural movement (without endless styling)?

The truth is, that long hair done well, can look amazing on all hair types, face shapes and ages. The problem arises when there’s no built–in shape to enhance your natural texture. Too often, long hair can hang down like two heavy curtains either side of your, dragging your features down with it.

So, in this week’s video, I show you how I transformed a naturally wavy, one–length style with soft, fluid ends and some face–framing shape that hugs the jawline and shows off the features. It’s a small cut that makes a difference, and if you love having long hair, it’ll look great on you too.
