So far it's worked and I've even found a couple of EASY styles that I really like, which is great because I like to keep my routine low maintenance.
Below is what I've tried so far (names thanks to my boyfriend's first impression of each style). What's your favorite simple style to make long hair fun instead of frustrating?
>>>The Olga
1. Separate hair into 4 pieces (two on top, two on bottom)
2. Make 4 braids from separated hair sections.
3. Put on headband of choice, adjusting so that the band is at the base of your head and over the top of your hair
4. Starting with two "bottom" braids, wrap braids over the top of the band at the base of your head, until braids are completely wrapped around band. Tuck in ends.
5. Repeat step 4 with two "top" braids. BOOM, done.

This style uses the same principle as The Olga but it's even easier because there is no braiding and you only have to wrap the hair around the headband once for each strand. SO:
1. Put on headband over top of hair, again adjusting to base of head
2. Separate hair into 2-4 strands. Really you could do more, it's just personal preference and a matter of patience. I have no patience so I only did 2 :)
3. Take strand and loop over band, pulling through hair beneath until end comes out as shown. (Kind of like a slip knot but with hair). Repeat as needed with additional strands.

>>>Cinderella's Off Day
Not much to this one really, just a messy bun with a bow stuck in there somewhere. I'm terrible at buns so I twist my hair to keep it tight, then use special spiral pins to hold it in as a bun.
