I love a simple ponytail. If I need my hair to be more formal, I use a large barrette at the bottom of the neck. If I'm cleaning house, then a ponytail higher on the head works well, it looks a little silly, but I'm at home, so who cares.
Getting a bit off topic here....but you can use an "Ancestory Visa" to live and work in the UK if you are Australian and have British parents or grandparents (I had a grandfather from England). But still.....snow...hmmm....I wouldn't know what to do with the stuff!

Heh... well, I assumed you were born and raised down under, but I thought that any citizen of the commonwealth descended from Brits could "return to the motherland" if they chose to do so. Or maybe I'm mistaken? Anyway, maybe you could spend the Aussie summers in England wintertime, which is fairly chilly and sometimes snowy...? Just a thought.

I know this is a hair board...but I love hearing more about you guys once in a while!
I sometimes enjoy off-topic discussion, too. At this time I don't see any reason why we can't do that here, if we want to... but it's probably best we avoid religion and politics.

As an Aussie, do you have rights to relocate to the "motherland" (England)?
I vote #1. I've been putting my hair up in a lot of messy buns since the weather started heating up, but I've been doing a lot of braids, too. And, of course, I try to leave my hair down as often as I can, but it goes all the way down my back and it gets sooo hot.

current hair: down, nice and wavy thanks to the braid!

I do 1 and 2, depends on what kind of a mood I'm in....it's so easy just to put it up in a bun and stick a clip in it, that's what I normally do for work. Sometimes, though, I'll just pull it back in a pony tail, but that's kind've hot, so...

Apology accepted Dave....although none was required ;)
Summers here are insanely hot and dry, so for me the answer is/was number 1. I think this was a good thing for me as it prevented me from looking at my hair and obsessing over how short it is. I still wear it mostly up in winter too, but I hope that will change in a couple of years when it gets long enough to look good down.

Thanks, I love my jobs. I'm an editor and writer for one, a technogeek for another.
Cool! You write so well, your qualifications for the ed/writer job are apparent.
Even though it's not summer in the southern hemisphere, maybe Nastasska, Rini and others Down Under might be willing to share their hairstyles of choice for the summer just passed?
I'm probably alone here but I like it loose at the moment. When it's
really hot I have it bunned or plaited, depending on the activity but
otherwise keeping it down or half up protects the back of my neck from
burning.

A single braid or a chingon(sp?) most of the time. It's so warm, my fringe has grown to a level that Ican tuck it behind my ears probably to avoid being attacked.
I've been wearing a lot of sloppy buns recently... it's way too humid here to let my hair loose! And I don't have the patience to try fancier updos and the like. Maybe one day.

Um..I'd say either an up-do or two braids. As long as it's off my face and neck! A new hairstyle I've been sporting is two braids with my fringe clipped back and pumped up like a little pompadour (kind of). It's sort of fashionable thing right now, a lot of celebrities are doing it. Not that I'm known for being trendy, but I like it because it's making it a lot easier to grow out my fringe.
PS. Anais, (if you're allowed to say, I'm not sure) do you write for a newspaper? If so which one? What a cool job.
To work I vary my hairstyle every day. Its air conditioned too
cold in my work place so that doesn't matter much. On the
weekends when I'm out in the heat all day though, its bun only for me
(braided bun with stick, chinese bun with stick, or a just twist it up
and jab a stick through it messily).
