I don't wear my hair down anymore, but when it's "down" in a braid or I'm putting around at home between bun and sleep I keep it behind my shoulders so it doesn't get into whatever I'm doing. If I'm out, I keep it in front so I can see it and keep track of it. I don't need my braid or ends getting caught on/in anything random, or worse having it wander off and annoying someone else that takes it out on my length.
