so... "styling" long hair

My sister's graduation is next week and I have no idea what I'm going to do with my hair.

I can't look up "traditional" prom styles or anything because I've been heat free for 5 months now, so dryers and curling irons are out.

I got a knee-length strapless white summer dress for the ceremonies, but the hair is still a problem.

When I was a little girl, my mother would wrap my hair up in rags and I would sleep on them and have massive curls the next day. She thinks I'm going to have to have the rags in for probably 12 hours for the same thing to happen now at my length though.

So any suggestions? Up or down is fine as long as I can do it myself and I don't need any heat.

Your hair will look stunning no matter what!!!  But I'd say go with the rag curls and then french braid the top section and leave a really long curly/ringlety tail.  It looks formal, but still very arty.   Wear an eyecatching hair toy in the braid tie-off point too!

Holly -- I don't have any specific style suggestions, but if you decide on a 'do which requires some styling, I would suggest practice before the day of her graduation.
