Hey my fellow gorgeous long hairs!
I have been going crazy trying to think/develop updos that separate the hair into two SEPERATE masses. For pitiful example: (but doesn't fit what I am looking for)
- Pig tails
- Princess Leia buns
These two examples are just not a style I can pull off or depend on all that much, piggies work good for oiling or sleeping....does anyone think there will be a Princess Leia bun revival soon!?!?! =)
I am hoping that there can be a wealth of support here for the girl who shared with you all her many years loved 'Vortex Bun', so here is what I am trying to find ideally:
- does NOT use hair ties, elastics, etc....unless to tie off a braid end. Can use them if they can be loose, like if you sprinted from the store exit in the pouring rain to your car, all the bouncing and jouncing would have left hair tie in some puddle in the parking lot, or mere centimeters from falling from your hair.
******At this point though I am so desperate for 50/50 do's that I'll gladly try something that needs a snug hair elastic start.
- does not use an overwhelming number of pins, like the 40+ needed for a barely secure enough Vortex. I have gotten Sooo spoiled with my one fork, one Ficcare, Quattro or other updo's that can be secured so minimally.
- would prefer updo's that keep each beginning section of hair on it's particular part of the head. Although I absolutely would love to learn the massive fancy styles where you keep exchanging or layering the sections in elaborate bun swirling techniques, I need something simple....for now. But do supply me with those fancy-shmancy ones for later pretty please!!!
- I do not care if it's parted down the middle, ear to ear like a half-up, or diagonal.
Braids, buns, Nautilus, etc....I don't care, just looking for something besides pigtails (I switched to an aerial performer after retiring from my pro ballet career, and you can only image what a mess TWO (or even just a single one not secured correctly!!) braids would be getting in the way upside down when I am training on the silks, or trapeze/Lyra. It is hard enough to keep track of which silk is where, I so do not need two, 3 foot long braids dangling in the mix!!! Right now I just need something that is rather quick and easy, and can stay in for a good amount of physical activity, as lyra, trapeze and silks have a very great amount of movement, swinging, spinning, not to mention the flipping of the body over and over from upside-down to vertical hundreds of times in on training session.
Right now I can be out the door, from dreaming while snuggled under my electric blanket with bed head - to a basic painted face (hey, the rest can be done at red lights and in famous Chicago dead-stopped traffic, right!!?!?) - and masses of hair securely knotted to my head - and backing out the drive in just around 30 minutes. That is mainly because I just simply smoothe out the style from the day before, and re-secure with a color co-ordinating huge 60th street, Ketylo, or Baerreis fork, Squiggly, Twistick, or RavensCroft Moonbeam, and out I go.
I have massive hair toys, many makers of forks, sticks short and long, (I tend to rarely put much else besides wood toys in my hair) so please be creative, or boring and simple (+++) and let's see what this fabulous community can do to give me a better hair style where it isn't all one huge bulging tumor off the back of my head, and all the hairs are tired from being pulled in the same directions.
Can't wait to read your replies! Ha! I have silks class in 5 mere hours tomorrow, guess I'd better do a fantastic job at faking some serious sleep, I certainly need the real thing. Will depend on a normal updo for this morning, as I doubt anyone is crazy enough to reply within 4 hours, plus I best not be late out the door because I was trying to swirl it into respect and obedience without enough practice. Aerial arts are certainly not a great performance art for letting your hair down, most especially if it's a ways past your butt!!
See you all laters!:p
