Your style, your way
The one thing you have to bear in mind when choosing a long style, or committing to growing one, is your natural hair texture because, if you don't want to spend a lot of time styling, you need a look that is flexible enough to work with what you've already got. If you have curly hair, for example, long, straight hair might be a bit of a stretch and vice versa.
The best thing you can do is find a look that a) you feel comfortable and confident with, and b) that you know you can manage.

Be brave
