What to do with extremely long hair?

[ulien]

My hair is over 40" now. I love it, but it`s very difficult to create any hairstyle out of it. I usually wear it braided or use hairagami to create one or two buns ( but usinga hairagami is kind of difficult, I believe in was designed for shorter hair).

Any ideas what else can I do with this hair? I recently found a side with historical chinese hairstyles, some of them are really great and not too difficult to make. Any other ideas? I have time in the mnorning, I don`t need to rush styling it ( well, it can`t take over 30 minutes either). I`m an opera singer, so the hairstyle can be really fancy but not to weird.

What to do with it?

Love it, lol!

Umm, otherwise, I don't know; I can only hope mine gets to that length.

Here's a picture that I thought was very pretty, but no instructions as to how to do it (sorry)-

You can check this site for inspiration-

The Long Hair Community

My hair is the same way and I gave up doing anything with it and just put it up everyday.

I just recently chopped mine.My hair was down to my butt. All I did was through it up in a floppy bun.

I would just google to try and find cool hair styling sites.

If you like braiding you coul try Arwen's complicated (but beautiful) hairstyle

Here's the instructions. There's other braiding tutorials on that site, by the way.

I never measured my hair but It goes a lil past my butt its so long & thick & Black Its pretty but so hard to take care of & style I sometimes put it in a high pony tail & curl it & I always get pple asking me "Where did you get that Beautiful Hair Peice?" lol

Lol ! It's the length of my hair when i was a little girl, people would stop in the street and compliment me on it, it was really annoying for me.

There's also that tutorial to do Rainie's hair (she's an actress in an asian soap). The two braids are supposed ot left hanging, but you could try small buns, macaroons.
