NEED NEW STYLES FOR FLOOR-LENGTH HAIR

Why not put your hair in some sort of an elaborate upstyle.
Women who have that type of style have always been more
alluring to me. The look is so much more sophisticated, and it's much more fun for a man to fantasize about taling the hair down!
I guess its easy for me to say that, I don't have to do all the work. Ha Ha
All I can say is that women with those styles are very attractive to me and I would presume other men also.

Another way to do it is put it in a high pony-tail, secure the end of it with a band of some sort, then bring the end up to your pony-tail starting point. With it like this it will be in a big loop. From there you can leave it or braid the loop like a normal braid. I have never seen it done, but it may be worth a try. And if you could email me a picture, I would appreciate it. Thank you.Nick...ploysainco@purplemtn.com

I don't currently have a homepage, but I think it would be a great idea. Then I could post many pictures of me for everyone to see. Good to hear from you.Crystal

Normally when I go out, I get quite a few looks, and some people even stop me and ask questions. But in the past I have always had my hair piled on top of my head. On Saturday though, with my hair through the back of the cap, a lot more people than usual were making comments, most of them positive. There aren't too many people in this area with hair as long as mine. All the best.CrystalOh, and yes, Crystal is my real name, but I've never met Ms. Gayle. I sure would like to though, she seems really nice on TV. Thanks again for the style ideas.

> Crystal,My daughter also has floor length hair. I can give you many styles.

You could just get a perm, but I don't know who does perms for your length of hair.Cordially,Steve
