Styles for long hair?

[Fanfeckintastic]

I have long thick hair and if I actually made the effort with it, it could be really lovely but I only ever seem to wear it the same ways.

Can anyone tell me some quick and simple things I can do with it before I go and get it chopped off?

I do different braids - there are loads of how-to videos on youtube.

I bought these: www.claires.co.uk/3-blonde-pin-twirls/shop/fcp-product/19665 to make buns - they are really easy to use.
