Long haired lovers what do you DO wiht your hair?

[cod]

i have shoudler loneght hair and have it up today in pony tail as i am going swimming later

HOWever i always feel that i look like a sperm wiht it up. cnat do anythign wiht thefront really.

what do you ot do with your hair and what gear do i need?
fancy a flower thingy for summer

I have shoulder length hair and atm I'm wearing it just like that link Ledodgy posted.
If I'm having a mega lazy day I have a really wide band which is dark brown with sequins and beads on which looks a bit like one of those scarve things.

Other than that I like to curl it with the straightners (that sounds really stupid).

yes they may well be trendy
I am not disputing that
still, I say to you
IN THE BIN

I just leave it til it goes all greasy and then make a messy bun but then I do look like a minger!

alice bands were in for about half an hour a month ago

IN THE BIN

I like those big scarf things like nbg says but not sure I can pull them off

the problem with alice bands is that my 5 yr old wears them and it looks cute on her and I reckon, anything that looks cute on a 5 yr old prob doesn't do it on a 30 something

Same here Schneebly

Mine looks like a cross between a bird's nest and a cottage loaf

Every day a bad hair day chez Greensleeves

Well I like mine, and it looks nice :)

I like how Susannah was wearing her hair in the last series of WNTW - middle front up and back in a clip and rest left long. Very 60s.

but you are a bright, young thing

I used to have a liqourice allsorts alice band when I was about 7. I think my mum still has it. I can post it on to you if you like

I am 34

I plait it, several different styles (not at the same time obviously)
Put it up in buns lots of different styles.
Leave it down occasionally, but I keep sitting on it and the girls think it hysterical to take turns tugging at it so do the last very rarely.

NB anyone who'se not sure on the scarf/hairband thing, get thee to Claires and buy one like \link{http://www.claires.com/product.asp?name=prod&color=green&rcid=31&id=2004&scid=38\this} with elastic at the back and tails. Loads of colours, £2.50 or thereabouts and at least then you'll know. If it doesn't suit you keep it for doing your makeup, if it does, peruse the expensive silk ones in Monsoon etc.
(Don't buy the elasticated-all-round ones, they're rubbish)

I wear lots of headbands/scarves. I have a fringe, but I pin it up into a quiff a lot, or pin it back to the side.

i use alice bands and these stretchy ones

dorothy perkins and claires accessories have the best selection

I do a kind of casual french roll type thing with a bulldog clip thing, so it oomphs it up a bit with a few tendrils out - not a beehive obviously: \link{http://www.glamslamentertainments.com/lookalikesandimpersonators/absolutelyfabulouslookalike.jpg\low-maintenance Turq}

LOL turq!

I have some of those huge hairdresser type clips, then twist hair atthe back and secur with one of clips.

I've tried three times to read that post cod - to no avail - and I ain't trying again

"ok I asked my hairdresser today

He recommended putting it into a ponytail, then removing the front section that doesn't quite fit into the ponytail and using a normal clip to push it up forward onto my head.

He also said put a ponytail on the back, then twist it and clip it up against the back of my head with a clip on the fringe."

I will bill the both of you for translation services.
