    I wear a single low braid. It has been a life saver during the chemo.

    I was sick with the flu about a month ago and for a week I just kept my hair in a bun.

    My "go to" style for those days is a single braid. It stays in place and is comfortable when I lie down. I can slick all the greasiness back and it looks halfway decent if I have to go out. It's all about the comfort and ease when I don't feel good.

    Another vote for the low single braid. I use a cloth hairband to keep the loose unbraided bits of hair out of my face.

    I do a low pony with a silk scrunchie. I have fibro too AND wear an oxygen canula 24/7, so this way my hair is always pulled away from my face, but without being tight. It's easy to lie down with it this way too.

    If I have a bad case of fever I just let it be open on the pillow, and when I get out of the bed I put it in a bun. If I'm not that sic, then I braid it.

    Hmm if I'm really sick I usually end up with a greasy, tangled, dreadlock-like mess

    I didn't wash (or comb) my hair for a month when I was feeling particularly nauseous for a while (morning sickness).
    Actually, for the last 2-3 weeks, I didn't even redo my bun properly. Just took out the stick, scrunched/twisted the hair together some more, and reinserted the stick (it was so greasy and tangled by then it stayed up pretty well like that)


    Good thing I don't get ill much...
    Where o where is my black & white Lotus... have I sold it? Have I lost it? I honestly can't remember!!
