If you have pretty hair,it seems that you can show it off better when it's flowinginstead of knotted up.I really like some of Karen's suggestions from a coupleof months ago, things like the Love Knot. Don't get mewrong; the up-styles are nice as well, but the ones thatlet the hair in the back flow freely are the ones thatreally catch my eye.Think fancy barrettes/ribbons/flowers/etc. in yourcrown and sides and leave the back loose.Think ringlets, think wild waves, think shiny straight.Just give "down" styles as much thought as you give "up."---C.C.
