I have strange hair, i always wear it down because it gives me a headache when i wear it up ( )
anyway, today i discovered that if i wear it in 2 loose plaits it doesnt give me a headache
but..im 21. im getting old and pigtail plaits are a bit "schoolgirl"
what do u all reckon?

with a ponytail or something, it has to have a certain amount of tightness in order for the band to not fall out and therefore it pulls on top bits, which seem to give me the headache!

i dont want to look like an adult trying to have childish hair
heres a stupid pic of my plaits
if u saw an adult walking down the road with plaits would u think how stupid it looks?
i really need to get my hair out of my face without having a headache!
I actually quite like that, with the bangs going on too, thats real cute and I"m quite jelous.
sorry, but with what going on?! whats bangs??
not everyone can pull it off though.
Theres a lecture where i am required to wear my hair up because i get to sit in on consultations with clients so yay for finding a style where i dont need painkillers!
animal behaviour science. we get clients come in with their problem pets and if we want to sit in we have to dress smart, hair up, no jeans or trainers etc
Hope it goes well tomorrow :thumb:
cheers
Blah: when my GROWN UP braids are very long and therefore heavy, I do a special trick when I put it up, if I didn't the front hairs and top hairs pull my scalp raw. I can't actually remember what I do, and I took my braids out a few days ago. It's somthing to do with making the ponytail twice. I *think* I section off the top, put the underneath in the ponytail, then put the top section over the top looser, split in the middle to wrap two sides underneath the existing ponytail, then use another bobble to secure. You need to have the first bobble infront of the second/ or is it behind- I can't think when I've got short hair- try it and see if it takes the pressure off your scalp like it does mine. Soz for the shite instructions but... it's one of those things my fingers can do without my brain.

I think they can look gorgeous, and are very versatile. I often wear a loose plait, a plait twisted into a bun, two plaits twisted up "Heidi" style. I don't think it looks childish and I frankly don't care if people think it looks stupid, I obviously don't or I wouldn't be wearing my hair that way.
Blah, you really suit your hair in two plaits...definitely try it out, I'm sure no one will comment negatively. :thumb:
if they do, they're idiots.
it's one thing to think it, but even then, i think most of the people i see out and about have made at least one questionable fashion decision. most people probably think i have made several. can't please em all.
Mischa Barton usually has her hair on The OC in a loose side plait. She looks dapper.
Well exactley.
It wasn't so long ago that girls were walking round with massive quiff things, which surely in any body eyes were far more ridiculous but each to their own
I think that looks really nice blah, i sometimes wear mine in plaits when i'm at work as it keeps the hair out of my face, go for it i say.
the conclusion of this thread is that plaits are not only for children :thumb:
