Do you wear your hair in different styles?

I’ve got long hair and I always wear it the same - wash and go, slightly wavy. On a special occasion I might straighten it.

Some people make so much effort with their hair. I must be lazy.

As the roots are growing, I thought I could start trying a different style each day eg messy bun, high ponytail, plait.

Are you someone who does their hair in different ways? Any ideas for someone boring?

I have a weird thing where I have to wear my hair in a different style each day. Thinks it stems from childhood where my (thick naturally curly and unruly) hair was styled by my mum (a very busy nurse) the same way every day for ease. When I was old enough to handle it on my own, and got used to how it likes to be handled I have since had a weird thing (it's now totally unconsciously done) where I wear it differently every day.

Curly with side part
Curly with centre part
Straight with either of the above
Any of the above with an array of headbands or clip

Any of the below in curls or straight:
I Dutch braid my fringe and leave the rest loose
2 Dutch braids sweeping the upper bit of of my hair back
Side Dutch plait (like Elsa from frozen)
Straight back traditional Dutch plait
Top knot
Low bun at nape of neck with either a centre or side part, may or may not have the drills dangling by my face
Fish plait
Recently rocked space buns (lock down boredom - wouldn't wear them out lol)
High pony tail either hair swept back or with centre or side part, or fringe braided back into the pony
Low pony with centre part
Half up half down
Half up half down (up half in a bun or plait)

I love styling and playing with my hair. I do it so often now it takes no time at all. I always get compliments on my braids. I watched YouTube or used Pinterest for ideas.

Try a few different things out. It's fun. Especially during lock down with so much time to experiment

They’re brilliant ideas! I might try a different style each day for a week. As you say, I have plenty of time.

Mines either down straightened, down air dried (wavy/curly) or second day hair messy bun. On a VERY special occasion I will curl with GHD's. I'm too cack handed to pull off anything else despite years of trying.
