When hair grows beyond the ears, we can get frustrated because we feel like we have a lot of length yet it's not actually enough to put hair up. Forget the updo for now and try a swept-back hairstyle. The wet-look texture is a cool twist on bedhead and showcases longer layers. Set it with a strong-hold hairspray so it maintains its shape. The Bumble and Bumble Strong Finish, $30, is a good option.

Uneven Bangs
Not ready to try a mullet? We get it. A less intense style is a rounded bob with uneven bangs. It still has some edge, but it's more wearable. Plus, it's an easy look to transition hairstyles that are shorter in the front and longer in the back.

Wavy Bob
You're already fighting with the length of hair, so let's not fight with the texture. Embrace the au naturel state of hair whatever it might be. Those with waves or curls can take inspiration from this chic bob.

Full Front
Show everyone — including yourself — that you do have a lot of hair by bringing it all to the front. It works with growing-in sides because the eye goes to the fullness on the top of the head.

Straight Bob
Hate the idea of layers because it means more length to chop off? Try a trendy one-length bob. It has as much shape as any layered look, especially when it's parted in the center and the ends are slightly curled under.
