Holiday, daytime up-do?

[WildThong]

I can't wear a pony tail because my hair is quite heavy and so my scalp gets a bit sore. So, for hair just past shoulder length, what can I do to keep it out of the way in the hot weather? Tia.

I love braids on holiday, scrunchy sea - salty braids, it's the only time I can get away with them.

How about milkmaid braids? 2 braids pinned across top of head. Really easy and looks all boho and nice. My current favourite hairstyle

Braids a la Bo Derek, yes

On me, age 50, chubby, probably best not

I make a rough bun/chignon and stick it all in a big claw hair clip. looser than a ponytail so no scalp ache, and easy to redo during the day.

Thanks mini, I'll have a look at claw clips.

Have look at All Thing Hair UK blog lots of lovely bloggers showing you how to do various hairstyles. Some are really easy. Can't do links on my phone.Enjoy your holiday.

How about something like this? [http://www.thewonderforest.com/2014/05/romantic-boho-lace-braid-up-do-hair.html?m=1] much easier than it looks

I have thick heavy hair that hurts in a ponytail higher than my ears.
I have discovered the sock bun!
YouTube it.
I do it when my hair is wet then the next day I have glorious curls!
