Who it works for

With the exception of baby-fine hair, which will look limp, this popular look works on most types of hair. But since long straight hair has nowhere to hide it should be in tip-top shape.

Tell your hairstylist:

Be firm! Hairstylists always want to give a hair a "cut" but don't be intimidated. Slight layering on the ends will help the cut grow out.

Maintenance:

 

1. Any long hair texture from straight to naturally wavy will develop lush waves if strands are braided into a three strand braids while hair is still damp and allowed to completely air-dry. 

2. Optional styles including "wet buns" which consists of wrapping long hair into a variety of top knots or

twisted buns and allowing hair to aid-dry. Old fashioned, home made rag rollers offer the option to create

lush waves and curls with no damage to delicate strands. 

3. Never use rubber bands on your hair. The bands will rip and tear delicate hair. Always used coated

elastic bands, Bungees with special snag free hooks on the ends of Flax elastic bands. If elastic band

or Flax gets caught in your hair, simply cut them free with a scissors. This protects your hair without long term damage.

4. Only use bobby pins with coated or covered ends to avoid scratching delicate scalps or ripping out

long strands.

5. Use "hair friendly" hair accessories. Great "long hair friendly hair accessories include: Hand made

French style chignon combs with smooth teeth and edges.
