To think that plaits are just for school girls

[tulippa]

Last night while my DH was plaiting my DD's hair he suggested that I would look good with plaits, he even "joked" that it would add a third hairstyle to my repertoire. After he finished with my DD he asked me to sit on the chair in front of him so he could do my hair, I made up some excuse and left the room. The truth is I was really uncomfortable with his suggestion, AIBU but in my head schoolgirls are the only people who should be allowed to plait their hair. Should I be worried, is this the kind of thing he's attracted to? What's next, will he be asking me to get my old school uniform out (which I luckily threw away when I left school)?

My great grandmother wore her hair in plaits when she was 103.. she didnt wear a school uniform at the time.

your Gran lived till she was 103 that is amazing I used to plait my hair in my 20s and early 30s i think it is nice ,

YABU and a bit odd tbh it's just a freaking hair style and there are a lot of models on the runway for fashion week who had them it'll probably be a trend soon.

FFS....

great gran*

I think plaits are quite fashionable for adults at the moment, not the schoolgirl type though! I wish my hair was thick enough to carry them off.

I don't think I would have though much into it, maybe he was enjoying the hair styling and wanted to pamper you too, nothing wrong with that imo.

I think plaits look great on grown women. I used to wear them when I went to the hair dressers for a cut and colour. Made a nice change from the usual blow out.

A plait YABU.

Yab a bit u.

I know a very funky photographer in her mid 40s who often wears her hair in plaits. She has a slight boho kind of look with jeans, flowy blouse and beads. She looks fab! It wouldn't suit everyone though... my own thinning, fine hair for example, would look ridiculous.

Are you sure your DH wasn't being kind?

I love plaits. Nothing wrong with them at any age, its just a hairstyle.

I am a mother of 4, I am 23 and I have my hair in plaits.

My schoolgirl dd wouldn't be seen dead with plaits in tbh, whereas I am often sporting a messy side plait

Yabu. I used to wear the odd plait when my hair was long (as an adult) - never ever considered it anything to remark upon.

What an odd pov.

I'm impressed that your DH can plait hair! Mine can't even tie hair normally.

No plaits aren't just for school girls. You get quite nice styles these days if you google hair styles, or have a look on Instagram at someone called Hairpost.

I'm 42 and often wear my hair in one plait, stops it getting tangled up. As a schoolgirl I had very short hair. YABU and a bit odd to be honest

are for women who think they are bubbly crazy and wear hello kitty tops

I want to punch them in their "i am a chocooholic oh i love bags, me" faces

I know lots of sportwomen, particularly ones who need to wear a helmet (cyclists, skiers, snowboarders) who look great in plaits.

I plait my hair at night and if it's very hot. I've got quite thick long hair and I don't like it on the back of my neck at night/when hot.

I sometimes try and plait dh's hair when it's getting too long.

Lady, they'll also be seen sporting 107 different kinds of stationary with cupcake patterns

NB I dont really condone violence, yes i have other things to worry about, i am just hamming it up for the website. no i dont need therapy

ooh im CRAZEEE about cupcakes

fuck off with your kitten wearing a crown make up bag

lady i wasn't bubbly or even a 'bit mental me ' when I wore then it was just how I liked it I also used to put it in a french plait when going out , I just liked it,

they LOVE audrey hepburn and overuse that stupid Eleanor Roosevelt quote on facebook where they post pictures of their kids merit cards
