I'm braid-challenged, so my hair's going to have to gain a few more inches before I can even start to consider doing any real braiding to it, so I've been on the hunt for something I can do to my hair that isn't a plain 'ol ponytail or (very small) cinnabun.
So today, I tried to do one of those ponytails where you sort of... flip the hair over the ponytail holder again so it looks all twisty on the top. Yeah, it's a horrible description of what I was trying to do, but I really don't know what to call it. A pulled-through ponytail?
However, being hairstyle-challenged as I am, I couldn't manage to get the hair all the way through, and ended up accidentally doing a gibson tuck! I'd seen the style before, but didn't realize it worked for hair as short as mine, so I was quite happy when it worked out like that, accidental as it was.
I'm very, very happy right now. I helped my grandmother clean her house for six or seven hours, and it stayed the whole time. Kept my hair off the back of my neck, unlike a ponytail as well.
It's about time I managed to find something that works!
