I have checked out the newbie section and the great list of styles there but I just don't know where to start.
I hate putting my hair up, but at work I am really the only one who always wears it out and I'm starting to feel a bit daggy and unfashionable for it.
For work I often have to wear a hat, so the high ponytail/bun style I like doesn't work.
I have layered hair, so if I make two plaits I get terrible braid shear.
If I make one large plait at the back half of my front hair just falls out minutes later and bobby pins gleefully slide out no matter where I put them.
I have tried making it look like I at least thought about my hair by putting in a soft hairband. These slip off my head so I have to anchor it behind my ears by crossing over bobby pins in an X shape. I thought this worked a treat until a co worker started fiddling with my hair and I realised she was undoing a big knot that had formed around the sticking out ends of the pins :(
I should never have cut my bangs so short, before I was able to at least manage a nice side plait.
Any suggestions?
