I wish I knew how to french braid!

I hate having long hair on my neck when I'm hot and sweaty, but yeah, sometimes it's too annoying to have the ponytail on the back of your head. Two braids, usually french braids for me since my hair slips out of regular ones, keep it off my face and my neck, plus it looks kind of cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-hair-during-lampd#post-313329 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 14:39:23 +0000 Minnie_Girl 313329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I want my hair out of the way I French braid it (so I can lay my head all the way back) or put it in a bun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-hair-during-lampd#post-313325 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 14:37:01 +0000 lovehoneybee 313325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think mine was in a ponytail. Bring bobby pins!

I made sure to bring extra elastic bands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-hair-during-lampd#post-313317 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 14:34:19 +0000 DillonLion 313317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, during my little trip to L&amp;D this week, my long hair was driving me absolutely crazy. If it is up I usually have it in a messy bun but it kept getting knocked out or pulled on by laying in the bed. What did you do with your hair during L&amp;D? I'm thinking I might need to start practicing some kind of tight ballerina bun on the top of my head because having to re-do my hair every 5 minutes made me absolutely crazy. </p>
