Hi all

I have long (just past my bra strap) very thick and wavy hair and I work as a telecommunicator. I can`t leave my hair down at work because my headset gets caught in my hair (ouch!) and I`m tired of just wearing my usual low pony tail. I was wondering if anyone had a quick and easy way to put my hair up (at least on the sides) that didn`t involve very complicated braiding (I`m terrible at french braiding, I`ve been practicing for years and STILL can`t do it very well) and I can`t wear a barette on top of my head because of my headset (There goes the only other quick and easy hairdo I know how to do. I`d like something loose and kind of casual (I wear buns occasionally, but it`s not flattering to me, imho) and I`ve tried a french twist (my hair is too heavy, it falls out within an hour)

I know this is a tall order and probably impossible, but I wondered if anyone else had an idea :)

All i do is tha messy look. I have long hair 2. This is how u do it it is very simple
1. Hold your hair up like if u were gonna put a pony tail in.
2. Use a hair tie and pull in hair but not all tha way.
3. Wrap your hair tie over your hair.

Try a bun tail. 1 Divide hair in half like you would to make a half-up.
2. Make a ponytail in the upper half
3. Twist the lower half as if to form a bun
4. Wind the twist around the bas of the ponytail and pin it
5. Either leave the ponytail loose or braid it, either way looks nice. ©me, 2001

why not try wetting ur hair brush and then tying ur hair back in a high pony.let it look natural . not 2 tight. mess up ur hair and let it look like a messy BUT sophisticated bun. add a bright flower in summer and a diamond hair band in winter!!!!!!!!! (it only takes 1 minute 2 do too)
