So she doesn't know how to use a hair clamp, she doesn't know how to wear her hair up, and she doesn't know how to put her hair in a bun. It sounds to me like her hair length is the least of your problems fella. It sounds to me like she is a retarded idiot. I mean stuff like that I learned how to do when I was a little girl!  I wouldn't worry about her hair length. I would get her a brain transplant. Or find a different woman. |

I'm sorry Braiditalot. I shouldn't have been sarcastic. What you do is buy her some heavy duty industrial glue. Then pull her hair up into a bun and then glue it to her head. That works really well.

She's going to have trouble no matter what her hair length. If it's short then it'll be hard to put back at all, or it might need to be styled. I'd recommend bringing her to a stylist or friend who can show her how to do her hair. Or it's possible she's just using this as an excuse and actually wants shorter hair. Just help her to do whatever you think will make her happy.  ------------- |

Hi Braidalot If the only reason your girlfriend is planning to cut her hair is because of difficulties arranging it – and she really does want long hair for herself – then I suggest: 1. Get her on this board. Have her check out the braiding and bunning sites that have been recommended in previous posts here and also pick up on the long-hair-positive vibes. 2. Go to a long hair salon if there is one nearby, who will be able to help her learn how to bun/style/care for her hair properly. 3. Find some family/friends/acquaintances who have the skills she needs and ask them for help. Hope that helps. Good luck !!! ------------- Uzi |

There's a book called Hair: A book of braiding and styles, which is published by Klutz. Most of the books from Klutz are for kids (and the crafty), but this one is simple and sophisticated. It has directions on braiding and buns, and it also comes with fabric scrunchies that won't hurt the hair. ------------- |

It's fine for her to use oils to stop dry ends. Jojoba oil is the most recommended here. Tell her to avoid putting too much near her scalp because it could make it oily and icky. Good luck with your persuasion! ------------- http://www.myspace.com/waltzin_with_the_open_sea - http://www.myspace.com/waltzin_with_the_open_sea Ah-ha, a place I can soon add hair pics...once I do some |

Jenna, Uzi, papillon_purple, and enfys, thank you all for your helpful replies to braidalot. Tina, please refrain from posting such messages. You might think of them as expressing "a sense of humor," but I consider them disrespectful and insulting. ------------- |
