Am I too old for plaits?

I have only recently learnt how to do French plaits that are neat and tidy and I love them. Only problem is I am in my mid 20's. Am I too old for French plaits?

Not too old at all, there are some lovely styles you can do that are more adult.

My favourite up do ever was when I was presenting an award at a swanky company event. I booked in a salon next to my hotel and told the girl to do whatever she thought would suit me. She side parted my hair and did a French braid from the thickest side all the way round to behind my ear on the other side then it went into a twisty bun. It was quite sleek yet not too perfect, I really loved it but am unable to recreate it myself.

Lots of girls I work with French plait their hair. I think the classic braid behind each ear is a look that works best on children though.

Definitely not.

Two of them? maybe, unless you then twist/tuck the ends under.

One, definitely not.

Envy of being able to do it - I don't have enough fingers.

Not too old in your 20s - I wouldn't but I'm old

Thanks everyone. I love the idea of one French plait with the ends coiled into a bun.
