I posted this once and still need help. I've got slightly wavy, buttocks length hair. I've been elected to a political position that involves frequent press conferences, important meetings, etc... I need a way to wear my hair up on a daily basis that I can do myself. Buns, french braids, and fench twists don't look good because I need some softness on the top and sides as they make me look too severe. I don't want to sacrifice my hair for my job, so am anxiously looking for suggestions.

They are based on the French twist, though, but as my hair is very long, they are variants. The half-up version could be of use to you. Check further below for the chignon, though I've not had success with that style myself. Try also tying a knot in your hair, perhaps over a hair band, as with a ponytail, and then insert hair sticks to hold it there. It shortens the hair a bit and looks so smooth and sophisticated.Jennifer Eve
