If you have long straight hair

How do you style it?
Can anyone recommend simple up styles or any ideas what to do.
My hair is very straight and longer than it has been in years because of lockdown.
I usually have it in a ponytail but I'm fed up with that. It doesn't look great just down, I think it's too long and flat.
I have no patience and bad co-ordination so curling/waving hasn't worked for me.
I'm late 40s. Has anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks

Put hair in a pony tail, then move the elastic about 1 inch down the pony tail, use a pencil or your fingers (there is an actual tool with a loop you can get called a tops tail) pull the ponytail through the 'hole'.

Once you have got that you can experiment with more than one, with threading the ponytail through the' wrong' way.

If you google 'topsy tail' you will get lots of ideas.

I use a thickening conditioner - L’Oréal fibrology or Tresseme’s equivalent are both excellent and I had a fairly thick fringe cut in last autumn - I love it Smile
My hair is really long, mostly straight and darkish.
