I thought it would be fun for those of you with long hair to share the ways you like to wear your hair. Does anyone use any hair accessories as well?

Typically I wear my hair down, maybe with clips on both sides. I like putting it in a ponytail using scrunchies and snag-free elastics.

I also just got a sophist-o-twist since I've been having trouble keeping my hair up in a bun. It's working pretty well, and stays up better than my previous attempts.

I love to wear my hair all different ways. For school, I usully just wear a ponytail or bun, but I get more wacky when I go to work (in an art shop) because I can get away with it!

I like to experiment with pinning up plaits, twisting random bits and wearing cute hairclips. My life wouldn't be worth living without kirby grips!

In some ways I don't like wearing it down, because it's more fun to put it up, and I love doing modern versions of Medieval styles.

I've been wearing a braid, even though it's a pretty short one; I'm trying to protect it from the increasingly cold weather. What do you guys do with your hair in cold weather?

In cold weather, I always wear a light microfibre hat when I'm outdoors to protect against the elements. It covers my hair completely.

Indoors, in the winter-time, because of the dry atmosphere due to heating, I mist my hair daily with blend of distilled water, conditioner and essential oil.
That keeps the hydro-lipidic film intact and the hair is consequently soft and lubricated without being greasy.

In respect of style, I usually wear it au naturel - loose and free - but when this is impractical, I secure it in a bun at the nape of my neck.

I prefer to wear it loose, but hubby likes poufy updos so I wear it up for him a lot.

I also like to take just a small bit of the sides and clip them behind my head with a small clamp or barette for a part up/part down look.

When outside in the cold, I either wear a hat or stick most of the length of my hair into my coat to protect it from cold and wind.

I have been doing the bun for years now, it´s practical and saves my hair from too much wear. And, while it´s been growing out, it has been difficult to manage hanging down. But now, it seems to change, with the new lengths. I have reached 30 inches and suddenly it´s behaving quite differently. I don´t get as much tangles anymore, even though I wear it down, for example.

I wear my hair in many different styles. The style depends on many things: the weather, the occasion, the clothing, my mood

most common - Bun with hairsticks (or just hairpins)
Figure 8 bun
French Braid
Down with a headband
Half up with barrette or bunjii
least common - plain ol' pony tail
Wavy Brunette
Current Length: 29"
Goal Length: my maximum growth potential ;)

Hey, how do you do a figure eight bun? Ive always wanted to know!!!


Lettice is nice!

I like curling my hair sometimes. Strangely though when I curl it in ringlets I get asked if Im hispanic. Um, no, Im very white indeed. Im white enough that little old ladies like to compliment the milk and roses complexion of mine. They come from an age where fair skin was prefered. But I like being though of as hispanic. I think they are awfuly beautiful!

Hi Jenna,

I prefer to wear my hair flowing straight down my back. But also lots of different ways: regular bun, braided bun, two Dutch braids, pony-tail. The style depends on the occasion.
