Hi, anyone out there got any bright ideas. I`ve always had long hair and at the moment it is half way down my back with a layer. I look after it so its in lovely condition and it is thick with a wave to it. I`m willing to try any new style of putting it up as long as it doesnt look too solid.
Thanks in advance as i`m sure there are loads of you that have creative streaks.

Long Hairstyles Tips & Ideas :

In the morning use your fingers first to remove tangles.
Use a natural bristle brush with a wooden base.
Try long smooth strokes.
Move your hand over the hair to eliminate static.
Apply a once-a-week treatment.
Apply a conditioner to the lengths and ends of your hair.
Brush your hair before shampooing.
Heat dry as little as possible.
Do not use heated rollers, tongs, flat irons or crimpers more than once a week.
When you do use them, use a thermal protector.
When sleeping, put your hair up in a 'scrunchie' or covered band on the top of your head.
Trim every 12 weeks.
If growing out layers cut every 8 weeks.
For general maintenance cut every 6 to 8 weeks.
To make long hair look sexy and healthy try a shiny semi permanent color.

FRENCH ROLL
gather hair as though your putting it in a ponytail, but dont tie. then twist hair, and pin on the crown. you can leave some hair out on the top, and gently back comb it to give it a bit more volume, or add wax, for a spiky effect

LOOSE, OR TIGHT BUNCHES

FRENCH PLAIT
stat at the crown. section off 3 small sections of hair, as you plait it, gather another section from each side as you go down. do this until you have just 3 sections again, then carry on plait until you get to the ends.... alternatively, stop when you get to the nape of your neck. it allows it not to be as harsh.

im sure there are loads more, but i hope this helps a little. im not sure how helpful my instructions are though, lol

good luck.

I`m a dab hand at the french plaits but will defiantly give the French roll a go. thanks for that and yes the instructions were great.
