One idea is to visit the Long Hair Site at http://www.tlhs.org/ and look at the pictures in the archives & in the "gallery" & "week's lady."My hair is almost waist length, and my typical styles (mostly because they are easy & quick!) are french braids or a bun held with hair sticks. I have tried french twists but I am not very good at putting my hair up this way and it usually takes too much fussing for me to get it to look right. Plus it always ends up like Ivanna Trump--with a huge bulky twist in the back--LOL! I usually prefer to wear my hair down in the back and swept up in the front by one large barrette or a small barrette on each side. But I work in a very professional environment, and based on things I have read from lurking in the guestbooks on this site, it seems to look more "businesslike" to wear my hair up. So, sadly, that is more often how I end up wearing it.I hope this helps! Good luck--let us know what you end up doing with your hair!!> I have very long hair that reaches half way down my> back.

My hair is very long. I usually put it up in hot rollers and it gives me a good look. My hair is also very curly.I have to blow dry it to get it straight. If I leave it curly it also looks nice. You could try getting a spiral perm. There really in right know.

Hi,I have to admit that at times I get frustrated because people who visit Hair Boutique don't seem to be aware of the fact that Hair Boutique has a very large articles section (http://www.hairboutique.com/tips/tips.htm) with over 125 different hair care & styling articles.Included in that section is several articles on styling hair...specifically long hair.I have a special interest in long hair styles because I personally have hair several inches below my waist and have tried a variety of styles for long hair myself.I take a lot of time to write instructions on how to create the looks, so you can imagine how frustrated I get when people ask where to get help for long hair styles and people refer them to other websites rather than to the articles section.Please check the following Hair Boutique URLS:http://www.hairboutique.com/tips/tips.htmhttp://www.hairboutique.com/tips/tip072.htmhttp://www.hairboutique.com/tips/tip075.htmhttp://www.hairboutique.com/tips/tip070.htmhttp://www.hairboutique.com/tips/tip107.htmhttp://www.hairboutique.com/tips/tip069.htmRomantic Updos:http://www.hairboutique.com/tips/tip063.htmNape Knot (medium to long hair):http://www.hairboutique.com/tips/tip022.htmDressy Updo For Any Event (for medium to long hair)http://www.hairboutique.com/tips/tip021.htmThe book section of Hair Boutique also includes book reviews with photos of long hair styles. Specifically there are some additional photos in the following book:Patrick Cameron's Book - Dressing Long Hairhttp://www.hairboutique.com/books/bookreview089.htmWe also have a Gallery with over 850 different hairstyles, many long hair and many updos.Please help me figure out what I can do to spread the word about all this information that is available for hair care and hair styling. Maybe I need to post a note at the top of Hair Talk?Any ideas would be appreciated.Best wishes,Karen> I have very long hair that reaches half way down my> back.
