Hairstyles etc

Ok, so it is my 21st party on Saturday night and I obviously have to look a million times better than everyone else there :p but am stumped by hairstyles. I usually have it down, in Heidi braids like a five year old or in a ponytail as it is long and straight and curls etc won't stay in for love nor money. I would love to have it curly but tongs take three hours and, like I said, don't stay in very long. I've tried ragging/twisting and pinning it overnight but it turns into a crazy mess rather than nice curlylocks. Would it be very wrong to crimp it? My style guru says YES, but I quite like looking like an 80s throw-back (throw-up?).

Any ideas?

Also, does anyone know if such a thing exists as "hipster" or lower-rise tights, as I can't be getting on with them coming right up to my tits just at the minute and if I wear a smaller size so they don't come up high they dig in, look shite and are a bit ouch. Bare legs are not an option as it is on a boat and will probably get a bit nippy knowing the weather here... and also taking into account the rest of my outfit, my overall look would then be "complete whore" :thumb:
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

    I think you can get low-rise tights... try Debenhams?

    You look so fit with your hair down that I can't think of another suggestion. :p I'll have a think at work today... and I'll have another reply later.

    Also, what is this on a boat? Where is MY invite?! ;) I'm going on a cruise to the Dam for my 21st in October, can't wait. :D

    I'll have a look in Debenhams then, I knew they must exist as I can't be the only person who doesn't like belly-warmer tights at the best of times :impissed:

    I kind of wanted a hair"style" since I never have one, but I think my hair's too long to do anything with it, grr. Maybe just having it down is the answer, as I'd love to have it curly but don't want to be a hairspray-helmet-head.

    Get your arse up to Newcastle this weekend you'd be more than welcome... keep a can of Special Brew cold for ya :p But yeah, we've hired a boat on the Tyne, got a mate DJing and I am most excited :hyper:

    you can definitely get hipster tights in river island. ive seen them in there but never tried them on so dont know how low they are.
    You could try hold ups maybe depending on how short your skirt is, and they would have the added bonus of you could still use them once you start getting fat too!!

    by the way. I think crimping can look cool, although dont try and look like toyah. It would depend how you did it and what you wore with it, as to whether you could carry it off.

    Are you really only 21 Briggi. I thought you were older. Well about my age anyway.

    Why don't you do this sort of thing with your hair:

    um can't find a pic as I'm at work and it's so slow but you get sections, say 6, twist them around and then pin them on the top of your head. It's like half up half down, stick loads of hair spray on, it looks nice on long hair.

    I'm 20 for another week, woo! Clinging onto my youth etc. I'm not sure I understand what kind of thing you're on about... do you mean twists on the top of the head and the bottom section of hair down? Wouldn't that make the hair that was hanging down look a bit limp? Take note, I am unbelievably shit with hair.

    Blah, this is the kind of thing I was talking about:

    Ever since I discovered how to do it to myself I've been doing it all the time, I lurve plaits :heart: I might still crimp though, I've had the same set of crimpers since I was 3 years old and they've never let me down... no one's ever said it looked shit except my ex, and he knows nothing about anything (least of all, looking good :lol: ).

    Am dragging myself shopping tomorrow so will go into RI and Debenhams, hold ups aren't an option as my dress is pretty damn short. Where is my modesty, eh ;)

    ah ok i get what you mean with the heidi braids now!!

    i think crimping could look ok but not if it goes fuzzy. put serum on first? you could mix it up a bit and have some random loose thin plaits and be a hippy :cool:
