damn I wish I knew this back when I had long hair. It was down to my waist and heavy enough that it started to give me headaches depending on how I wore it. I usually did french braids, regular braids and ponytails and tried a low bun on occasion. This would have been so cool. I finally chopped all of it off at once and now keep it very very short because I’m too lazy to grow it out again
Mine’s heavy enough that I get headaches sometimes if I wear an ill-advised bun or something. It’s also really thin and tangles like fuck, so I can’t wear a ponytail or anything down.
I actually am not coordinated enough to do a French braid and have it come out. Never have in my life. Everyone assumes I must be, and I literally can’t do it, so I don’t.
Oh, I forgot my advice for doing this with layered hair– either re-divide your hair halfway down the braid, or braid in a ribbon or something so you can have your loose ends at the bottom be as short as possible. I worked this out in great detail once and made a whole elaborate tutorial post back when there was an incredibly active Livejournal community based around the long hair forum.
