Hi, everyone! I'm curious, if your hair is around classic length, what are the styles you wear regularly?

Mine currently:
Pinless braided bun
Nautilus
LWB
Braided nautilus or LWB

I'd love to add a few more everyday styles to my arsenal. I wish Google were more help, but "styles for classic length hair" yields few useful results. I just want to know what people with hair my length are doing with it every day.

I used to wear a LWB day in day out, but switched to the Nautilus now since figuring out I could do that one at the length I'm at. I'm a go-to bun kind of gal. I find a bun that's comfy and wear it to death. LOL! :lol:

What did I wear? Hmm, I think LWB, Neoma Knot, cinnabun with a flexi (turns out spin pins are better), braided cinnabun.

Other buns I learned later but would probably work with classic length:
Nessa Bun, L-infinity (I wrap mine), Spock Bun? Helix bun? Erm ... log roll (just learned that!) Posh bun, Gibraltar bun ... I think that's about it for now.

I wear an orchid bun with a pair of sticks or a cinnamon bun thing with two claw clips most of the time. Sometimes I'll braid the cinnamon bun thing. Around the house I usually wear a double wrapped LWB with a fork.

I'm loving pigtails at classic. Feels so anime to me. I'm also starting to wear more space buns because with the extra length they are beginning to get extra big.

I hadn't thought about pigtails. Do you wear them high or low? High pigtails might be fun and since they're half the thickness maybe they wouldn't pull like a ponytail does.

My hair is no where that long so I can't speak to what I actually wear but I love the look of an English braid in long hair. A girl I worked with would wear hers this way.

I don't think my go-tos have changed since about tailbone length.

Spidermom's Bun, Coronet Braid (single or double), LWB, center held braided bun, Equilibrium Bun with ponytail/peacock loose ends.

ETA: For high impact activities its Interlaced Braids.

I'm very near classic, so I figure I might as well chime in. I also wear the nautilus bun almost exclusively now. It's so quick to do and holds pretty securely.

If I have more time/energy or feel like shaking things up, I'll do a braided style: crown braid, Amish braids or double dutch braids (pigtails). I haven't really been able to make braided buns work for me though.

Sometimes if my scalp isn't liking a regular nautilus bun, I'll just do double nautilus buns to distribute the weight of the hair more evenly. If I do them as low buns, they look a bit less cutesy compared to right on top of my head like teddy bear ears.

LWB, nautilus, coronet braid, braided buns and neoma knot bun are among those that I wear more often. And at home I quite often wear a braid in a snood.

I wear them high. I use small scrunchies as they put the least strain on my scalp. If I want shorter tails I will do knot buns with one wrap around and then leave the tails out. Secure with sticks.
