I have long (about 4 in above my waist), wavy, very thick and heavy hair. After 25 years of short hair I finally grew it long. Due to my lack of experience (and having 10 thumbs LOL) I`m pretty hopeless when it comes to doing anything with it other than a low pony tail or just leaving it hang down. Unfortunately, leaving it down doesn`t mesh well with my job, since I usually wear a headset. Do you have any tips for easier french braiding? I can do a shaky french braid, but it always falls apart when I get past my collar...if I pull it over my shoulder to finish braiding it then the whole braid becomes crooked.

Also, any tips for updo`s? I`ve tried clips and buns but the weight of my hair drags it out fairly quickly. I`m a no fuss kind of person (which is why I grew my hair long, I thought it would be easier!)

I need heeeeelllllllppppppp!!!!!!! :)

Actually, I have the best luck french braiding it when it`s damp and less slippery....My hair can get pretty oily if I don`t wash it every day, then it gets all icky feeling :P
