I hate having long hair sometimes. Curling sometimes is a hassle so lately I've been putting my hair up in a high bun. Looks great with everything that I wear and so simple.
what CANT u do with long hair...before deciding to chopping it all off -then puttin in extension xD - you can always 'fake' a short hair style with long hair, and u dont always have to curl ur hair cuz its long
I'm also a side pony tail girl. (not that my hair is super long!) But when I'm wearing my hair up, I want it off my neck, so I'm all for side messy buns!
I get the bouncy curls look with my babyliss heated rollers! Cant live without them. My hair is naturally poker straight and crazy thick...really hard for me to manage and after i sleep on it i really dont like to keep reaching for the straighteners, so i use my hot rollers the night before work, take them out and leave the curls tight. I then roll the hair in the direction of the curls and pin them up..like upside down pigtails! And off i go to sleep!
In the morning the curls are still there and naturally drop when i let them down. I then reach for the hairspray and im done! Silly long thick hair styled but without the course heat from straighteners daily (as the curls usually last me until wednesday if i curl on a sunday evening.)
Ill take the straighteners to my bangs/side fringe once a week to keep them in place and..phew..done!
Cheats way to HAVING LOOKED as though ive taken ages to style my hair but actually i've just been quite lazy hehe..
I always wear mine down...sometimes I put it up in a messy bun or twist...but its almost always down. I let my curls and waves go wild :) I just use Ouidad moisturizing spray and a frizz serum <3 I have side swept bangs and I straighten them with a deep side part usually.
I picked up a Goody Updo Pin a while back after a long motorcycle ride resulted in my hair looking like it had been styled by squirrels. It was a lifesaver.
I use it to put my hair up in a simple Chignon /French Twist which look great whether i wear them messy or not. I now keep a spin pin or updo pin in my car, my accessory bag I keep on my motorcycle, and my wallet.
I would wear the high bun in a second if I could pull it off, my favorite style when I was younger.
high buns are hard if you have a fuller cheeked face, i should mention.. i love love headbands.. theyre so cute! and you can never have too many barettes :D
i actualky just did a hair tutorial on how to get crimped beach waves usig a waver but u can plaitt it as well. i have my hair extensions in so i guess its the same concept lol. http://youtube.com/missgabstarrr . check it out.. tell me if u like it or hate it :) x
Whatever you do, don't cut it uberly short. I was very irked when it came to washing, drying, and styling my long hair... that I cut it two inches below my shoulders. A few months later, I regret cutting it that short. =( That was like 2+ years ago, and my hair is no where near the length I had. I swear it only feels like it grew two inches. =(
I told my husband, if I ever contemplate on cutting my hair again, tell me not to do it.
I just think there is so much ways to style your hair the longer it is.
Daphne R. - I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my spin pins! I'm wearing them as I type this! [thumbs up to rocking them after a motorcycle ride though!] - I know exactly what you're talking about when it comes to hair after riding around, my hair was always tattered and in knots! It was just better to braid it or tuck it into my coat to protect it from wind damage... =(

nothing looks better than having healthy long hair...so take care of it by trimming it frequently and using organic herbal products to protect it.

I love doing side ponytails, straight or wavy. It's so quick and easy. I also pin up my bangs too.
