| I'm looking for ways to style my hip-length wavy/curly hair that will still look professional. Right now I feel like I'm limited to French braids, which I can do on myself fairly easily, but I get bored. Help? |

First of all welcome to the boards, lots of nice people here . And as for the stly you could wear it loose or half up- half down. Lucky you, it must be awesome having all that hair ------------- JESUS is The Way the Truth and The Life! |

Sugarcube: I almost never wear my hair entirely loose. It doesn't look good that way because of the way it falls over my forehead. Besides, it gets in my eyes. :) I do wear it down with a barrette pulling back the, um, top half (like a princess style except with a barrette instead of a ponytail holder) most of the time, but I feel like having it half down like that is less professional (and gets in the way).
Letmecount123: That looks like it might actually work! I never blowdry my hair, so it's usually wet to some degree for most of the day and it's not a problem. I haven't used buns on a regular basis for ages because they end up sticking out so far. Hiding the bun itself with a tail hadn't occurred to me. |

Holly,
That is a real simple and elegant look. I will have to incorporate that into my hairdo album. Can I assume you have not done anything to your hair yet as posted in this forum? I know you were considering a change. PJ |

That's a really cute do! I like how it hides your hair length so thoroughly too, that can be useful sometimes! Here is a site with lots of long hair styles, some of which are really nice for the office. (I think the page is not to heavily updated, and some of the links don't work anymore, but I've learned a lot of nice do's from the ones that do): http://www.longhairloom.com/stylingstationcentral.html - http://www.longhairloom.com/stylingstationcentral.html ------------- Making metal barettes/concord clips hair safe, long hair style how to: http://alonghair.wordpress.com |

PJ: I actually was just at the hairdresser yesterday. I got a bit of a trim, a few layers, and some chin length bangs. I don't know if I like it yet because I haven't played with it. I kind of think I was going for shorter, more angled bangs... I can still tuck these behind my ears which means that's all I'll ever do (force of habit).
I'm getting a new digital camera today (my other one has passed away *tear*) so I'll post about it after I get some pictures. ------------- |

How about shortening your ponytail with a partial hair stick bun, and
leaving maybe 12-18 inches? I don't know how you dress for work
-- I wouldn't do it with an extremely tailored suit, but in nice
clothes with softer lines I think it would look nice.

I've seen several women wear tailored suits and loose waist-length (or longer) hair, and always thought that the look really projects power. Thank you for sharing your photo series, Holly!  I hope you find something you like, PJ (btw: welcome!). Let us know, k?  ------------- |
