So, currently my hair is on my neck. I think it will be around my shoulder in a few months. I can currently do french twist(I have actually three different ways of doing it), peacock twist, one single dutch braid or two dutch braids. I'm doing wear your hair up challenge and wonder if there are any other updos I could try? :)

Perhaps a French Dutch or French English braid down the back of your head?

You might want to try Lillith Moon's laced rope braids: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPHEzUr5bWQ

If you can't quite swing doing it around your head, you might try just lacing a bit of your side hair (on each side) around to the back and then joining the ends with a barrette..or holding them in place with a small Flexi-8.

I just watched the video and it was so pretty! I think I will do what you said and do two sections and then join them together. Thank you!

it's maybe long enough to do a crown braid...I found this tutorial insanely helpful (I have nowhere near as much hair as she does, and I had a pretty long tail to tuck in, so I think it'd work with your length, you just won't have as much to tuck in at the end)

Try a meta bun. It's a bun within a bun, and it's good for shorter hair lengths.

Pull back the top part of your hair as if to do a half-up, and twist it into a cinnamon bun. Secure with bobby pins or a hair stick. Twist the remaining hair and wrap it around the bun. Secure with bobby pins or another hair stick.

At the moment I cant do a proper crown but I do this fake one by doing two dutch braids and then putting them together. I will try a proper one hopefully in a few months. Thank you:)

I just want to say I did this today. I did it a bit differently but it looks so pretty =)
