Hairstyle for physical therapy.

**Nadine <3** · January 27th, 2016, 12:02 PM

I have tendonitis in my foot and my rotator cuff. I'll be going to physical therapy 2 times a week for a while and I'm having issues with my hair getting in my way and the therapist's way. First I tried a bun with a stick and it fell out twice. Then I tried switching to a bun with spin pins but then I couldn't lay down without a painful lump at the back of my head. Higher buns don't work for me with sticks or pins) Today I tried out just a braid but it kept getting stuck underneath me.

How would you keep it out of the way?? My hair is almost waist length.

A side braid over my shoulder so it doesn't get stuck underneath me, or maybe Loepsie's laced braids?

Do you have a link for the lace braid? I can try the side braid!

2 French or Dutch braids, and you could make tiny buns with spin pins at the bottom/side so when you lay down it doesn't get in the way.

How about a french pinless bun, but held with spin pins instead of the single stick?

Hope this link works...

Also, what about just doing a super high bun on the top of your head?

Would Heidi braids work for all the positions you have to put your head down?

With rotator cuff issues, I'd go with a side braid or even segmented ponytail. It would be easy to do and to keep from under me.

Or milkmaid braids!

So, with the tendonitis in your rotator cuff, does that mean you have a hard time holding your hands up in the air to do things like french/dutch braids? If not, I would recommend a crown braid if you can manage one.

If not, milkmaid braids, a side braid, or two low buns all seem like good solutions.
