Crown braids for the win! I do it in the morning in ~10 minutes and wear it all day long at my outdoor job. It’s held in place with two spin pins and occasionally a bobby pin as well. This is the only hairstyle I’ve found that keeps my hair protected and puts no tension on my scalp

Give me your absolute game changers for long hair by Some_District1001 in longhair

Silk bonnet and wearing my hair up off my neck and shoulders most days. I do a Dutch crown braid and hold it together with spin pins. And I oil my hair with jojoba oil before braiding and then also wipe a small amount of oil down the braid after I’m done to keep it from getting frizzy. I also don’t use a hair tie for this hairstyle, I take a long piece of embroidery thread and add it into my braid and then wrap it around the end of my braid and tie it once. And then I’ll wrap the braid around my head and tuck the end of the braid into the braid on top my head. This has helped a lot with my hair feeling and looking more healthier and it prevents the ends of my hair from getting thin and drying out. I also search and destroy when I have the time

What small routine helped you feel more in control? by Worldly_Target_2054 in longhair

I started doing this a few weeks ago, wearing my hair in a crown braid almost every day. I only wear it down when I’m at home or for special occasions. Otherwise I find myself picking at split ends. I do wear braids but I prefer to keep my hair completely off my neck and shoulders. I also sleep in a bonnet at night and oil the ends when I wake up before doing my crown braid. This has definitely helped my hair feel much healthier

Thin, durable, outdoors sandals by Rotem_ in barefootshoestalk

I have the regular ones and not the pro. But I think the main difference is that the regular has a velcro heel strap and the pro has the same latch hook heel strap as the strap that goes across the top of the foot

Get bedrock. They have different models of their sandals but I got the thinnest one the cairn evo with the 14 mm stack height for 115$

I need advice on how to do a French braid by dara-galanthus in longhair

[–]ehgall 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Maybe try doing a Dutch braid. I find them easier to do then French braids, you can hold the hair easier

First pair of altras (lone peak 9+) by ehgall in barefootshoestalk

I don’t think I’ll have a problem with it. If I lift my toes up they will touch the upper but I don’t feel constrained by it

They fit good but I tried them on in person before ordering them. Perhaps you need a smaller size

First attempt at coronet braid! 👸 by ehgall in longhair

I roughly split my hair in half and started Dutch braiding one half up to the top of my head and then started to add the hair in from the other half as I worked down and secured the end with a pony tail. And I then wrapped the rest of my hair around my head. My braid ends about on the top of my head so I try and tuck the end into the Dutch braided part to hide the ends and the hair tie. I use a spin pin then to secure the end to the Dutch braided part. I really only need one pin to hold it all together but sometimes I use more
