I know this guild isn't exactly hair related, but what ever.

I like my hair, I really do, but I am so bored with it. All my life my hair has been shoulder length or longer. It's in layers and it's curly. I want to cut it short, but for that to happen, I have to wait til I'm 15, which will be in December. I don't want to wait. And I hate over-styling my hair. I like simple hair do's, like:

-sectional ponytail
-high ponytail
-low ponytail
-untied
-half up

and that's all I like.

Any ideas for every day life?

all I can say is get creative.

Though I mean, I just cut my hair today, my bangs in fact.
I haven't really touched the rest of my hair, it's layered and growing which is what I wanted.
I usually do a lot of different up dos.

And because you have long enough hair it shouldn't be too much of a problem to really get creative.

Again I don't really know though cause I also don't have curly hair so I don't know how much it takes to really style it to begin with.
Having straight hair can be a real pain in the butt though, especially when it won't do anything you want it to.

And why do you have to wait until you're 15?

I lack creativity of my hair. XD I've tried hair mascara. >< Not really helpful.

I used to want straight hair, but now that I look at it, I look horrible with straight hair. XD

It's my mom's rule. For the general Hispanic, 15 is the official adulthood age for girls. >< So that's when I can finally date, cut my hair the way I want, etc, etc.

ooh I see, wow... I have been allowed to do what I want with my hair for a very long time now >__<

But hair mascara? Not the way to go.

There's some simple things i do with mine, though you have to practice a little in order to get it right, but I one of my main hair things I have is bobby pins.

If I can find pics, I'd show you what I do with my hair, it's one of my favorite styles cause then my hair is out of my face but it's not in a pony tail most of the time, unless I put it up in a messy bun... which might look good on you actually.

Messy buns are my best friend lol. Let's me be lazy with my hair without it looking horrible. I use to like having ponytails but my hair has thined out so much and is just really straight so it looks like my hair almost doesn't exist when you look at me from the front. >_<

This is best pic I have when I pin my hair back:

All you do is divide your hair out into equal separate parts at the top by starting in the middle. Some people are better at doing it than me by twisting it back, but I usually only twist the pieces at the end so the bobby pin will stay in.

You should look up some pics of different hair styles, or even youtube some. I did that with curling tips cause I'm trying to figure out what would be best for my hair so that it actually would keep a curl without falling 10 minutes later. I still haven't found a good solution for that.

I don't really like bobby pins, but I guess it is a nice hair style. =) Thank you. ^^

I've actually tried looking up stuff on how to do my hair, but to me, everything is too extreme at times, especially since I have the worst principal that thinks everything we girls do for fashion is extreme. ><

I understand, I think some times
girls just have to many high expectations forced
upon them by society.

I mean the reason I do my hair at all
is for myself and no one else, ya know.
Well and my girlfriend.. if I ever plan on..
pleasing her. Plus I can't stand having my
hair down all the time but if it's in a pony tail
too long I get a headache cause my hair it
so much longer than it use to be. sweatdrop

well.. i have a dilemma, you see i have hit rock bottom with my self esteem so i dont care about my image anymore. i feel that even if i put in the effort i would still be in the same situation. i did get it changed from long and boring to slightly slort and styled but i cant even be bothered to do my roots now. i used to do anything just to get a compliment from the one i love, but now i dont get any compliments regardless what i do, so i feel its pointless now..

but for everyday life i used to have it half up in a ponytail half down, with some bangs either side at the front. i think it flatters girls with long hair. but ponytail works too, it shows the length of your hair as well as shows the appealing slender neck. plus its easy to do.

@Fujin: I get what you mean about the ponytail. For me its not the headaches but the feeling of having my muscles tense. Because I used to always wear ponytails and it makes my facial muscles hunch up and hurt, so if I have my hair down, it makes the muscles feel as though I did have a pony tail.

@Lady Sapphic: I get what you are saying. But, when you make yourself feel beautiful and look beautiful, then it's better. If you don't care what other people say about how well you look, but you love the way you dressed up, then its still as good.

@Lady- ya know I can totally relate to that
feeling.It's basically the same thing with me
now a days... Though I try to take care of my hair
still but I do it and then I ask myself "what's the point?"
Like my gf will say it looks good but... that doesn't mean
anything right now, it's not like I'm going out any where
or anything either... and in this house all I get is ripped on
for anything I do.

I think I've taken maybe... 1 good picture, one that I actually
think is nice in the last 3 or 4 months, and usually I'm a cam
whore.

All I've been doing recently with my hair is pinning
my bangs back and putting my hair in a messy bun..
anything else just feels too pointless to do.
I'm hating that feeling. Depression sucks.

Is making me sadder

you can always try putting it in a REALLY low ponytail... where the band is at your shoulder only you have it on the side instead of the back. its kinda like a pigtail only with all your hair in it. make sure it looks loose.
Also make sure to leave two strands of hair out of it. one in front on the left side and the same on the right. once i get my phone back i'll try to post a pic.
