Waist-length hair makes a beautiful statement and can be achieved a few different ways.
We reached out to two hair gurus for some tried-and-true hair care tips.
Trims Are Essential
“Hair grows about an average of 1/2-inch per month,” Aronson says.

Stephen also encourages minimizing the use of heat tools.
“Try keeping your hair in protective styles to reduce breakage from everyday styling.”
“[This] will help protect the hair from heat damage,” she explains.

Stephen co-signs this scientific fact.
“It’s definitely very important to keep the water at a lukewarm temperature.
Avoid hot temperatures, as they will quickly dry out your scalp.”

“My go-to for pre-styling treatment is Dove’s Amplified Textures Moisture Spa Recovery Mask,” Stephen says.
The options are endless, whether your hair is straight or curly.
“Sleeping on a cotton pillowcase strips the moisture out of your hair.”
@joyjah
We love Slip’s Pure Silk pillowcase, which comes in a variety of colors and patterns.
Remember, moisture is your best friend!"

Waves
@sza
Embrace your mermaid dreams with waist-length waves.
Box Braids
@zendaya
Alternatively, classic box braids are always a good idea.
Embrace your natural shade or weave in some standout extensions, like the subtle auburn visible here on Zendaya.

Smooth and Sleek
@sheisdash
Show off your length with the flat-ironed strands.
To achieve smooth and shiny hair, a nourishing routine is as important as the styling process.
