Just curious

I wear my hair up all the time and 99% of the time I wear a french twist held by a concord clip. Simple and easy! 

What is your favourite upstyle (hair-friendly of course!) ?

Jennifer wears her hair down and loose most of the time.  When she puts it up, she usually puts it in a bun.  From time to time, she'll do a braid, pigtails, topsy-tail or even two buns made from pigtails.  Our personal feeling is that if you have long hair, let it down and show it.  It's better for the condition of the hair to stay up and hidden all the time, but we both prefer to see long hair down and flowing.

I wear it up a lot, unless I've used cones recently to prevent some of the tangling.  I either do a french twist or a braided bun with sticks to hold it up, but some days I like to do different things for variety (hair cinch, ponytail, french braid).

I like taking the bits of hair just above my ears, braiding them and then pulling them round to the back of my head where they meet eachother and keep them there with a tiny little butterfly clip. It looks very pretty!

It's been below freezing lately... so I have to contain my hair in a way that it fits inside my hat. Lately I've been wearing a scrunchied single braid or a cinnabun with corkscrew stick.

Pretty much anyway: down, ponytail (messy or sleek), half up, braided (haven't done this in awhile, will again when hair grows out), classic bun, messy bun, pigtails, and funky ways that I see on t.v. and decide to try on myself. I don't really like it when people wear their hair the same way every day, life is short, put some variety into it!

Well Chelsea, I consider my perpetual up-styles to be a phase I have to go through.  I'm really not happy with the length of my hair right now, so I'm afraid that if I wear it down I will start to obsess over it and then cut it off again!

There is plenty of variety in other aspects of my life....don't you worry about that

Hey missrini, that comment was not directed at you at all. Sorry if it seemed like it. I just went back up and reread your first post. I have a friend who has long hair and wont wear it anyway, but down. I know it shouldn't matter to me how she wears her hair, but she can do soooo many diiferent styles with it and won't, guess I am a little jeaouls I understand about having to wear hair up while it is growing out, we both are trying to go our hair out right now. Besides we are growing it out so we can do different styles to it!

s'ok Chelsea. I was not at all offended (I'm really very difficult to offend!), just thought I should elaborate on the constant up-styles

I go through phases...At the moment I'm in a plaiting phase, before that it was loose phase and before that ponytail. I would like to wear my hair up more but I never have time (or patience!) in the mornings.

I wear mine in a ponytail most of the time. It's always tied back at work, except two days ago when students in two classes begged me to let it down....they got a kick out of it

I agree with AnaisSatin.  Your hair's looking great, Sunsailing! 

I wear mine in a simple 3-strand braid for work, and wrap and tie the ends.  Looks just waist-length to the unaware.

I'm on vacation right now, so I've been wearing my hair in two braids. This has allowed me to stretch out the time between washes and do lots of conditioning/oiling. I never thought I could go four days without washing, but that's what I did this week. When I'm working, I have been wearing it up mostly. It is in an awkward stage right now, a few extra inches will help!

SpecialKitty, I know what you mean about that awkward stage! How long is your hair right now (inches)?

Hi MissRini, I'm not quite sure how to measure it, but it is just at shoulder length (barely). Your hair looks about three or four inches longer than mine. I think my hair is about the length of your middle (August) picture.

SpecialKitty, my hair is 19 and 3/4 inch long (at the last measure). It grows at 3/4 inch per month. 

Measuring page: http://longhair.org/HCP/measuring.htm

Basically, you put the end of the tape measure at your hair line and then bring it down over the back of your head and "stretch" out your hair with the tape measure to see what it's length is. Do it 3 times or so just to make sure you get the same measurement.

I think it's really interesting, because it's a great way to track growth and allows you to compare your hair and to see what 30 inches, 35 inches etc looks like on other ppl.  I also like to see how fast my hair grows (have always thought it grew fast, but will be interesting to see exactly how fast)

Btw, does your name refer to "hello kitty"? I have been a Hello Kitty collector since the 70s

Missrini, our hair is just about the same length right now! (19") You might
say we're paddling down the river in the same boat assuming our hair
grows at similar rate, we could celebrate our milestones together... bra
strap length,elbow length, waist length... that'll be a good time

I usually like to wear my hair down if I can, unless I either 1.) have no time
in the morning so I just ponytail it, or 2.) my hair is being unruley in
which case I put it up somehow. I also liked doing double braids (when
my hair was longer), which look super cute, they're easy and after you
take them out you have nice waves ~

Hi MissRini, I've been on vacation and didn't have my computer, or I would have replied sooner  Thanks for the information! I will measure tomorrow and also try to post some pics! My name Kitty was my grandmother's name - short for Catherine. I love Hello Kitty though.

That's what I have been wanting to know.  I'm leaning toward a simple 3 strand braid lately too and have been wrapping and tying with satin cord or skinny ribbon.  What do you wrap and tie with, Dave?

Thanks,

SF
