that's really pretty.

Pony-tail at back of head, twist tightly, pin, let drop, job done.

The more you wash it, the more you need to wash it. Try rinsing it without using any soap. Go as long as you can bear without using shampoo and then just use the minimum needed to take the surface grease out.

Really??? I love the feeling of clean hair and have to wash it every other day or it looks gross and almost wet. I tried dry shampoo and it was rubbish. Takes ages to wash and dry/style long hair though, it's such a faff.

What do you mean rinse without using soap? Just wet it and then dry it? What's the point?

Wet it and condition it.

The thing is though, surely the scalp itself needs cleaning? I live in a hot place (ok admittedly not hot right now in January), and my head gets hot, surely my scalp must sweat and that sweat soaks into my hair?

Rinsing and conditioning should surfice. Make shure you massage/scratch the scalp and comb through with fingers or wide toothed comb.

I shampoo my hair once ever two to three weeks. I rinse and condition at other times.

hey one more qs - what do you guys do to sleep, as in do you ponytail, or wear a cut off tight? i simp,y get knots and look worse and worse until hair washign day!

hello rutita btw hows the guitar? xx

Use a satin pillowcase. It helps keep hair smooth and not tangle so much.

A satin pillowcase? OK - how does that work then? And where would I get one?
Cheers btw, have long needed a solution to bed hair!

I think it has something to do with static and if you move around a lot when sleeping, on a cotton pillowcase, your hair can get tangled, but on a satin pillowcase, it sort of slides. It's also better for your skin and gives you less wrinkles, allegedly.

yeah I got some myself. I think also cotton absorbs moisture thereby drying your hair out but I'm not 100% on that

Lots of practice

I've just quickly done one now, only took a couple of minutes:



It's very similar to normal plaiting, except that you keep taking in extra hair as you go down.

Nice neck.
Woops sorry.

when i had long hair i used to wear rope braids quite a lot, cant find any pics, but basicly you pull your hair back as if you were putting it in a ponytail ( or in 2 if you want pigtails) then split it in to 2, twist each bit one way ( i tend to twist it clockwise) then twist the 2 twisted sections around each other in the other direction and fasten at the end. fishtail braids look quite good on long hair too, the layers sort of fall out at different points and make it all look laid back and slightly less "done" than a normal braid.

atm, my hair is curly so i tend to wear it in 2 cornrows , one each side of my head, then pull the rest into a messy bun.

shit, you sound good at this
