Idk guys, I'd love to go for knee just to see how it feels but suddenly I feel down. Just like some people say some certain outfits won't look good on me because I just sit there on my wheelchair. Sorry for ranting out of the blue, tho.

It's really pretty, and that is over classic. Congratulations.

ETA/ Just FYI. I use a wheelchair as well, and my walker when I have a "good day" (all my days are honestly terrible). I use a dining room chair, with the backrest to my left side to take pictures, but I do have help with it. Could not do it otherwise, and so I am totally grateful for the help.

Thanks lapushka! I guess I gotta measure my hair in cm/inch rather than use my body as milestone. My mom is not happy to help me handle hair stuff because she said all the hair care stuff is time-consuming and useless. Finally I can graduate from this thread. Head to knee now! Just out of curiosity , tho

My hair is just about long enough for a circlet braid. Not the french-braid kind, and not the 2-braids-crossed-at-the-top kind, but the 1-braid-looped-around-the-head kind.

But I struggle with pinning the braid to the brushed-flat hair on my scalp. I've tried a variety of options (bobby pins, u-pins, spiral pins) and I'm still yet to find one that really works well. Little plastic claw clips on the backside of the braid are probably the most effective, although they're very visible and I don't like them much for that reason.

Anyone got any pointers?

The only thing that has worked for me is taping my hair with ribbon. It takes a bit to do but is quite sturdy and I think quite pretty.

It held for a few days when I was around classic length.

Here's what it looked like when I tried it:

Welcome!! I can't believe I'm in here either, tbh. Since I'd stopped coming by here too much in early 2020 (

wonder what happened then that coulda caused me to withdraw from most stuff...

), I keep thinking my hair is like BCL? And then I'll sit on it a little and be very surprised.
