What's your favourite hairstyle? Hair toy? I'm sure that fashion magazines won't tell much about good long hair trends...so I'm interested in finding out, what the situation really is among long haired people.

1. What's your favourite way of wearing your hair?
2. Your favourite hair toy (just one, if you can). Why it's your favourite?
3. Do you have a hairstyle that you would love to wear but can't for some reason (too difficult to make, can't be made with your type of hair etc.)
4. Who's your long hair idol? (= a person whose long hair you admire and who inspires you)
5. Do you try to copy your idol's hairdos?
6. Do you have any great hair care tip?
7. What in your opinion is definitely passée?
8. What's the best hair length? (in general, not necessarily on you)
9. What's trendy next summer? Let your imagination run wild!

My answers:
1) At the moment, it's cinnamon bun. Fast, lasting and neat looking, and can be decorated with pretty hairsticks.
2. I love all my quality hairsticks, but my pair of LL SpiralStix are a true hair-saver on those days when everyting else fails. They're simple, interesting and above all...they hold my hair in a way that nothing else does.
3. I'd love to see, how a good crown braid looks on me. Also, it would be nice to have a long, simple braid decorated with a ribbon.
4.Princess Leia from Star Wars. In one SW book it was revealed, that her hair is knee-length!
5.No, I haven't nearly enough hair. But I like SW movies, and sometimes try hairdos inspired by other characters. These movies are full of long-haired ladies (and some men) with really cool hairstyles.
6. Spray often with rose water. Stay away from brushes except to spread oil.
7. Short, dyed, hair that's in bad condition.
8. Depends on person...hip length looks very nice.
9. Small carves that protect head from sun. Twin braids and buns.

1. In a donut bun. Simple and classic.

2. My silver dragonfly clip. My husband got it for me from a street merchant in New York when we visited there for the first time. Everytime I wear it, he has this pleased look on his face and it makes me happy. (I LOVE dragonflies. Susan - any chance of making green dragonfly hairsticks?)

3. Any kind of elaborate braid. I love braids but find them very hard to do.

4. Princess Isabelle from Braveheart. 'Nuff said.

5. I would if I had hair that long!

6. Avoid going to hairstylists on a whim. It will only end in tragedy.

7. 80s hair and mullets

8. Hmm...tough one. Hip length, methinks.

9. I know nothing of fashion. I live in the dark ages! (Classic dark ages...not trendy, that is.)

1. Braided bun, at the nape of my neck.  It's long enough now that it's not so much of a bun as it is a rope coiled at the nape of my neck.

2. Hairstix.  They are just.. essential to keeping my hair up and avoiding the "heavy hairdo headaches".  My LL hairstix are my favorite.

3. I'm not very good with intricate braids, but I can live with it.  I make a fabulous updo!

4. I'm with Rua there.. Princess Isabelle.  The movie took quite a few historical liberties (not to mention the hair extension liberties!) but her look.. so classic.

5. I never really got a good look at the hairstyle, so foo foo for now.  *must rent the video*  But I usually wear my hair up because it keeps it from getting damaged.

6. Wear your hair up.  We all like to adore the long locks, but I notice that if I wear mine down, it just gets tangled and dirty easier.  I have fewer split ends that need to be clipped at the end of the month when my hair's been up the majority of the time...

7. Ratty hair.  The 80's buffant tease and hairspray syndrome.. ladies, it's time to leave the aqua net behind...

8.  I tend to like hip length hair.

9. Err... Victorian tea dresses?  *smiles*  That's what I'll be wearing!

1. What's your favourite way of wearing your hair?
In an up-do, supported by hairsticks: current favorite up-do: 3 strand figure 8 braid with rapunzel sticks to anchor vertically

2. Your favourite hair toy (just one, if you can). Why it's your favourite?
SUSAN'S LONGLOCKS HAIR STICKS OF COURSE!!!!! For more than one year the ONLY thing I've used in my hair! Why?  Nothing else even comes close in beauty or artistry!

3. Do you have a hairstyle that you would love to wear but can't for some reason (too difficult to make, can't be made with your type of hair etc.)
A four strand braid - I've never had someone physically show it to me - and that's the best way for me to learn  

4. Who's your long hair idol? (= a person whose long hair you admire and who inspires you)
Actually - our own "lady godiva" from these boards.  Have you seen her photos?!

5. Do you try to copy your idol's hairdos?
Well, no - as I admire not a "style" but the general health for her tremendously long hair - but I can usually mimic almost any hairstyle I see on tv, in the movies, or at ren faires.

6. Do you have any great hair care tip?
I find my hair splits far less often now that I have worn it in an updo every day for more than a year, and also - adding just a bit of jojoba oil to the last 10 inches each day before bed.

7. What in your opinion is definitely passée?
I'll add one more vote for 80's hair.  Just went through my 1980's photo album.  Good grief - what WERE we thinking.  I must have gone through one can of super hold hairspray per week! I'm glad my hair survived that decade!  Between the huge hair and the shoulder pads..... I just can't think about it!
8. What's the best hair length? (in general, not necessarily on you)
Anything waist length or longer - as long as it's healthy.

9. What's trendy next summer? Let your imagination run wild!
I'll agree with the victorian tea dresses!  As a woman who doesn't even OWN pants - I'd love to see skirts and dresses more frequently worn - (at least I could easily increase my wardrobe - It's so difficult to find lovely, attractive, and flattering dresses these days - most are geared for the 'business woman on the go')Nightowl

1. What's your favourite way of wearing your hair? bun with giant claw on the side. And it actually stays!
2. Your favourite hair toy (just one, if you can). Why it's your favourite? mamacat corkscrew sticks, they're the only sticks that don't slide out
3. Do you have a hairstyle that you would love to wear but can't for some reason (too difficult to make, can't be made with your type of hair etc.) French twist, too much hair, not flexible enough, too long
4. Who's your long hair idol? (= a person whose long hair you admire and who inspires you) Meg my costume designer/corset maker, used to be Demi Moore but I hear Moore cut her hip length hair.
5. Do you try to copy your idol's hairdos? no, we have drastically different volume and slightly different length
6. Do you have any great hair care tip? C.L.A.R.I.F.Y.
7. What in your opinion is definitely passée? the beehive
8. What's the best hair length? (in general, not necessarily on you) Waist or fingertip length (both golden ratios)
9. What's trendy next summer? Let your imagination run wild! the FBI agent Shay Stanley cut, kind of a half pixie kinda bob, it's angled a little differently than both.. and looks rather nice.

1.)Long and lose, but it doesn't look good like that, so
a half up style, or a french twist.(will change as it gets longer)
2.)a pelican style clip by Goody
3.)French braid(can't do it yet) and a top knot(hair not
long enough yet.)
4. Jane Seymour and Demi Moore (Demi Moore cut her Hair?!) more Jane Seymour.
5.)I would, but my hair is nothing like theirs, i.e.thick and shiney.
6.Vinegar rinses and Jojoba Oil saved my hair.
7.Big Hair 80's Styles
8. waist length, but individual with each person
9.  I predict big hair permed 80's will come back soon

1.  I really love any style that looks "Victorian", especially a loose bun with a few strands left out on the side  and curled so they are spirals.

2. My favorite hair toys are anything looks Victorian, especially my LL hairsticks.  I hate the hair orgami I can't do anything but make a big knot with it.

3.  My hair is only shoulder length, I wish it was longer so I could make a more loose victorian bun with it.

4.  My long hair idol is definately Claudia Black.  What I would do for long wavy black hair like hers!!

5.  I wish I could copy my idol's hair styles but my hair isn't long enough yet.

6.  No great haircare tips, take your vitamins, eat right.  (That's the nurse is me coming out)

7.  The worst hairstyle ever?  Definately the poodle perm and all ya'll who lived through the 80s know what I am talking about.  

8. I believe the best hair length is the one that personally makes one happy.

9.  I believe healthy hair will always be in style.

1. What's your favourite way of wearing your hair? I usually wear it in a cinnamon bun lately, sometimes in a braided bun, and sometimes in a figure 8 or a variation on that.
2. Your favourite hair toy (just one, if you can). Why it's your favourite? Gotta say, none. Once in a while I'll put in a chopstick or two, but usually I just use loads of invisible hairpins, which aren't very toylike.
3. Do you have a hairstyle that you would love to wear but can't for some reason (too difficult to make, can't be made with your type of hair etc.)
I'd love to wear a french twist. My hair's way too long and thick, and it's always been so straight that I have to laugh when I read instructions say, pile the ends lightly on top :D
4. Who's your long hair idol? (= a person whose long hair you admire and who inspires you)
Actually, a professor of mine when I first started studying linguistics was my hair idol. She always wore her waist-length hair loose, which I never did (always wearing it braided).
5. Do you try to copy your idol's hairdos?
Inspired by her I started wearing my own hair loose, which wasn't especially good for it. Over the years her hair has become shorter and in worse condition, probably as a result of growing older and not understanding proper hair care, while mine is finally growing longer and in good condition.
6. Do you have any great hair care tip?
CO wash is what I think made the biggest difference for me.
7. What in your opinion is definitely passée?
Hair that doesn't match your complexion, fried hair, and especially fried hair that doesn't match your complexion.
8. What's the best hair length? (in general, not necessarily on you)
I think waist-length is a nice length, especially for people who have not made the commitment necessary to properly fixate on their hair.
9. What's trendy next summer? Let your imagination run wild!
I'm seeing more and more girls going back to their natural hair color from bad highlights that didn't look remotely natural on them.

4.  My long hair idol is definately Claudia Black.  What I would do for long wavy black hair like hers!!

OH MY GOSH! I LOVE Claudia Blacks hair. She's definately my next choice. I almost put her down first, but then I went with Princess Isabelle because I saw Braveheart the night before and it was still very fresh in my mind.

*sigh* It's been awhile since I've seen Farscape. Looks like I'm gonna have to pull out my DVD collection again!  ;)

1. What's your favourite way of wearing your hair?
I have tons! I love wearing my hair down or half up. I don't like the way I look with it up, but I feel most comfotable with it up, so that's what it's like most of the time.
2. Your favourite hair toy (just one, if you can). Why it's your favourite? Hmm. My black pair of hairsticks. It goes with most of my clothes and holds up all of my favorite styles.
3. Do you have a hairstyle that you would love to wear but can't for some reason? A french twist. It just doesn't work on my hair!
4. Who's your long hair idol? Hmm, I don't think I have one...
5. Do you try to copy your idol's hairdos? I guess this question doesn't apply to me then :)
6. Do you have any great hair care tip? Everyone should at least *try* oil, shea butter, and essential oil in their concoctions to see how it works for their hair type!
7. What in your opinion is definitely passée? Thick blonde highlights on dark hair! Oh and straightening irons!
8. What's the best hair length? BSL+, IMHO
9. What's trendy next summer? Long hair! ;D

1. What's your favourite way of wearing your hair?
Loose, with the sides braided and clipped back.
2. Your favourite hair toy (just one, if you can). Why it's your favourite? Just one? Aaarggh! Hmm, my green jewelled clips my Mom bought me for Christmas are stunning!.
3. Do you have a hairstyle that you would love to wear but can't for some reason? My sister is a hairstylist so I can have just about any style I want, so I'm lucky in that department
4. Who's your long hair idol? Rebecca Gayheart and Kerri Russell (when she still had long hair) and I just love Halle Berry's new extensions
5. Do you try to copy your idol's hairdos? I'm always trying out new styles that I see in the movies, The Lord of the Rings particularly inspired me to new "lengths"
6. Do you have any great hair care tip? Don't rub hair try with a towel and condition, condition, condition!
7. What in your opinion is definitely passée? Multi-coloured streaks and ultra-short curls.
8. What's the best hair length? Mid-back
9. What's trendy next summer? Curls! (I'll be so in fashion) :D .

1.  At the moment, the way it is.  Slightly s-shaped parting with Dutch braid: one side has loosened a bit to cover one ear.
2.  Flexicomb!  Put it around your neck, slide it up and push into hairline: it keeps it back and lets it hang loose.
3.  French braiding: I don't have the finger dexterity!
4.  I don't think I have an idol: but yes, Aeryn's from Farscape is rather wonderful!
5.  Just to have the shine of it..
6.  Believe it or not, some kids' shampoos are designed for 'long or curly' hair ;D
7.  Peroxide on its own or black hair dye on white-blonde hair.  (A person at school: white-blonde hair dyed it black.  The roots were going zebra style, so she decided to peroxide it ::)... BAD IDEA!  The end result was normal roots but Orange Ends :o
8.  Anything as long as it is healthy.
9.  Hair sunscreen: but affordable too

b]1. What's your favourite way of wearing your hair?[/b] Loose. I love how it feels against my back on arms. For more practical purposes, I like a simple English braid.
2. Your favourite hair toy (just one, if you can). Why it's your favourite? Hairsticks, of course! (need I say more?)
3. Do you have a hairstyle that you would love to wear but can't for some reason (too difficult to make, can't be made with your type of hair etc.) French twist (my hair's WAY too long) or a crown braid (way to complicated for my uncoordinated fingers)
4. Who's your long hair idol? Lara Croft (just saw Tomb Raider for the first time last night, so she's fresh in my mind) Proving that long hair isn't always impracticle, and that ladies can kick butt.  ;)
5. Do you try to copy your idol's hairdos? No, but I wish my braids were as sturdy as hers.
6. Do you have any great hair care tip? ACV!! (soak, not rinse) And baby powder is a great temporary solution for a greasy scalp; just powder some on and distribute it with a boar bristle brush. You smell like baby powder for most of the day, but at least your hair looks okay.  ::)
7. What in your opinion is definitely passée? The messy bun & thick highlights that aren't anything like your natural colour
8. What's the best hair length? (in general, not necessarily on you) I personally like waist-length the best on most people, but anything is ideal as long as it's healthy and well-kept
9. What's trendy next summer? Let your imagination run wild! BSL hair, dyed darker instead of blond, or at least kept closer to one's natural shade. I can also see afros coming back...

1. What's your favourite way of wearing your hair?
down....though i rarely do cos it gets in the way and TANGLES!
2. Your favourite hair toy (just one, if you can). Why it's your favourite?
longlocks hairsticks....if only i could afford these majestic beauties!

a lady named Diane from another hair board...her hair always amazes me  ;D
5. Do you try to copy your idol's hairdos?
i always try them out but she has waaaaaaaaaaaay more hair!
6. Do you have any great hair care tip?
apply TONNES of jojoba oil to your hair (make it slick) the night before you wash...it leaves hair soooo silky soft
7. What in your opinion is definitely passée?
bleaching your hair and not keeping up with the dark roots
8. What's the best hair length? (in general, not necessarily on you)
knee length

9. What's trendy next summer? Let your imagination run wild! hair down with a few small braids here and there with, either, bells or flowers weaved into them

Ooh, that would be awesome!

1. What's your favourite way of wearing your hair? center part, loose; it needs to get longer to look good up.
2. Your favourite hair toy (just one, if you can). Why it's your favourite?  Hairstix from LL for dry or damp hair/ron quattro steelstix for wet bunning.
3. Do you have a hairstyle that you would love to wear but can't for some reason (too difficult to make, can't be made with your type of hair etc.) Fingertip length braid; not enough hair yet!
4. Who's your long hair idol? (= a person whose long hair you admire and who inspires you) I don't really have one but used to like Jane Seymour's hair before she cut bangs.
5. Do you try to copy your idol's hairdos?  No, but I like the idea of wearing all my hair up in a fur hat and taking it off while everyone watched my waist length or longer hair tumble down.  She reportedly did this on a James Bond set and got the part on her dramatic hair alone.
6. Do you have any great hair care tip? Try to figure out what works best for YOUR hair.  Our hair is all different and while many suggestions apply to all, some may work better for you with some modification.
7. What in your opinion is definitely passée? Cookie-cutter grey layered, permed, teased and sprayed to the point of suffocation; psuedo acceptable little old lady hair.  I have no intention, to ever give up my long hair once it gets really long again.  I'd rather have a weathered face with long beautiful hair than a weathered face with short, permed, manly looking hair.
8. What's the best hair length? (in general, not necessarily on you) I think waist length and just above the derriere are very pretty lengths.  I would love to have fingertip/mid thigh length.
9. What's trendy next summer? Let your imagination run wild! Watercolour silk floral print sundresses with light and airy scarf/shawl wraps, big sunhats, strappy little high heeled sandals to match.  Bare shoulders.  Hair sticks.

Hope I didn't get too carried away there with my long-winded answers!

Great Poll!

1. What's your favourite way of wearing your hair? Up in a bun or knot of some sort, haven't had time or inclination for anything else recently.
2. Your favourite hair toy (just one, if you can). Why it's your favourite?    My short hairsticks until I lost them :'(, now my long hairpins that hold up buns well.
3. Do you have a hairstyle that you would love to wear but can't for some reason (too difficult to make, can't be made with your type of hair etc.)   A french twist; my hair's way too thick,and now too long.  
4. Who's your long hair idol? (= a person whose long hair you admire and who inspires you)   Never thought about that, I guess Princess Leia in Star Wars.
5. Do you try to copy your idol's hairdos?   Well, I can do a crown braid that looks like her hair in Episode VI
6. Do you have any great hair care tip?   When air-drying your hair, finger comb it into very small sections and it will dry a lot faster and neater-looking.
7. What in your opinion is definitely passée?   The way almost all older ladies have short, identical hairstyles; also hair that is dyed the opposite of its natural color.
8. What's the best hair length? (in general, not necessarily on you)   IN b/t BSL and waist length, though a few people look better w/shorter hair.  (my own is waist length.)                                                                  
9. What's trendy next summer?   I'm not one to really keep track of trends, so I don't care ::)  I'll still be wearing T-shirts 90% of the time...

I'm up late and hyper  ;D

1. What's your favourite way of wearing your hair?
    Up!  I love being able to get it out of my way.  But
    for just nice feel and look, down, loose

3. Do you have a hairstyle that you would love to wear but can't for some reason (too difficult to make, can't be made with your type of hair etc.)  
   French Twist - my head look all Nefertiti in it and hubs
   really doesn't like that look
4. Who's your long hair idol? (= a person whose long hair you admire and who inspires you)  
   Different between idol and inspiration.  Dianyla has got to have the most fabulous hair thickness and quality I've ever seen but since I can never achieve that I go for inspiration to people who are closer to my own -  maybe, ummmm, I think I could actually get to a poor woman's Claudia Black, close anyway
5. Do you try to copy your idol's hairdos?   Yes, I particularly look for hairlines similar to mine
6. Do you have any great hair care tip?   Keep the scalp clean and the length coated *in a good way*
7. What in your opinion is definitely passée?   Frying the blazes out of it with color unless it's super short
9. What's trendy next summer?   I think it's getting longer and longer, and more acceptable variety

;D...g

1. Just combed out, let the length down
2. A sweet elf-looking clip from a friend of mine, can clip the top section back.
3. I would love to be able to do corkscrew curls just for fun, but with my hair, its too straight to really hold curls.
4. Uhm...no one honestly. I'm independent.
5. See previous answer
6. Nothing that you don't already know.
7. The really, really short "modern" look.
8. Whatever suits you best, makes you happy.
9. Hehe...personally, i love just natural looks, so if everyone gave up their hair dye, if only for the summer, it would be lovely.
~arwen aka ~lyn

p.s. love all the lotr fans on here! i have to remember to post a pic so you people know why my nickname is arwen. lol take care all :)

1. What's your favourite way of wearing your hair?
Oh, I guess I enjoy wearing my hair down. I like to show off my curls. I guess "if you're got it flaunt it." :)
2. Your favourite hair toy (just one, if you can). Why it's your favourite?
I have a massive hair clip. It's nice to my hair and it gets it all out of the way when I'm hot.
3. Do you have a hairstyle that you would love to wear but can't for some reason (too difficult to make, can't be made with your type of hair etc.)
I wish I could french braid. I frustrate easily, so I haven't truely tried it in a while. I like if when others do it.
4. Who's your long hair idol? (= a person whose long hair you admire and who inspires you)
My boyfriend's brother's bride-to-be - Cara: it's classic length and beautiful!!
5. Do you try to copy your idol's hairdos?
Sometimes but she tends to stick with simple down and braids.
6. Do you have any great hair care tip?
experiment and try new stuff to find what works best.
7. What in your opinion is definitely passée?
I'll assume this means hair style: anything 80's is horrid and I can't stand to see it.
8. What's the best hair length? (in general, not necessarily on you)
waist length
9. What's trendy next summer? Let your imagination run wild!
Hmm, maybe try french braids with ribbons in it. I'm not that creative. :)
Meg

1. What's your favourite way of wearing your hair?  Double pony bun or birdsnest bun.  I like the double pony bun because I can wear it on the crown of my head, and the birdsnest bun because although it looks complicated, it's very easy and quick.

2. Your favourite hair toy (just one, if you can). Why it's your favourite?  Hairsticks.  There's something so simple about holding up hair with just a stick (technically, anyway.  Most of my hairsticks are far from simple.  8))

3. Do you have a hairstyle that you would love to wear but can't for some reason (too difficult to make, can't be made with your type of hair etc.)  One day I aspire to a figure-8 bun, but my hair's too short.  I also like wearing cinnabuns on the top of my head, but my hair's too heavy so it gives me a headache.  I"d also love to be able to do a crown braid, but so far that skill has eluded me.
4. Who's your long hair idol? (= a person whose long hair you admire and who inspires you)  I can't remember the name, but when I was a kid there was a comic book character with living hair that could grab things and wave people around (I think she was a villian).  That would be great, even better than a prehensile tail.  :)

5. Do you try to copy your idol's hairdos?  Not possible in RL, I'm afraid.  :-/

6. Do you have any great hair care tip?  Scalp scritching with a horn comb, and scalp massage with aloe gel.  Both help decrease the oiliness of my scalp and also help decrease scalp itchiness.

7. What in your opinion is definitely passée?  Gigantic fried and dyed 80's hair, though I'm sure it's ready for a comeback any day now.

8. What's the best hair length? (in general, not necessarily on you)  Depends on the person, but I like classic length.

9. What's trendy next summer? Let your imagination run wild! Probably a return of the 80's.  Sigh.

1. What's your favourite way of wearing your hair?
Eowyn LOTR style and french braid

6. Do you have any great hair care tip? Erm, leave it alone?
7. What in your opinion is definitely passée? long, damaged hair, whether it's long or short. Long is much sadder I think though
8. What's the best hair length? (in general, not necessarily on you) in general I like a few inches longer than BSL, although on some people pixie cuts are beautiful
9. What's trendy next summer? Hmm... Wishful thinking but pixie cuts so there are more  contrasts with longhairs. For real, maybe visors with twin braids.

[quote author=Galadriel link=board=trendyhairstyles;num=1105101904;start=0#0 date=01/07/05 at 07:45:04]What's your favourite hairstyle? Hair toy? I'm sure that fashion magazines won't tell much about good long hair trends...so I'm interested in finding out, what the situation really is among long haired people.

1. What's your favourite way of wearing your hair? Down loose or up if I am working

4. Who's your long hair idol? (= a person whose long hair you admire and who inspires you)

None really

I tried to copy that girls but it didn't turn out right.

it doesn't matter what kind of salon you go to it's the person doing your hair. Make sure they know exactily what you want before they even touch your hair. And take your skin color and shape or your face into considertion.

A bad hair dye

8. What's the best hair length? (in general, not necessarily on you)

1. What's your favourite way of wearing your hair?

Twist with Hairsticks

Um... my fakearre that I got at claires, but still trying to figure out how to use it.

3. Do you have a hairstyle that you would love to wear but can't for some reason (too difficult to make, can't be made with your type of hair etc.)

5+ strand french braids, I find it difficult to keep track of that many strands on my own head!

Claudia balck, before she put those horrid blonde streaks in her hair; more realistically, my cousin Jennifer, hair down to her knees and never been cut!

9. What's trendy next summer? Let your imagination run wild!

Everyone will start curling their hair like my grandma! (btw, i hope this doesn't come true!)

I just realized I've never taken this poll...  ;D

1. What's your favourite way of wearing your hair?
Down, of course! Maybe pinned up on the sides.

2. Your favourite hair toy (just one, if you can). Why it's your favourite?
I don't really have any great hairtoys at the moment. I suppose right now, my favourite one would be bobby pins because I can create updos with them.

3. Do you have a hairstyle that you would love to wear but can't for some reason (too difficult to make, can't be made with your type of hair etc.)
Gibsons & other Victorian updos. My hair is just way too fine/thin to make them.  :(  If I need that type of hairstyle for a formal event, I have it done professionally, which always involves a lot of backcombing!  :'(

4. Who's your long hair idol? (= a person whose long hair you admire and who inspires you)
Can't say that I really have one of those. But I do love the look of the long-haired ladies of LOTR (alliteration, much?).

5. Do you try to copy your idol's hairdos?
If I had enough hair to duplicate the LOTR styles, I probably would.

6. Do you have any great hair care tip?
Treatments, treatments, treatments. The more, the merrier. And regular trims are quite beneficial.

7. What in your opinion is definitely passée?
Pretty much everything. It's difficult to find something that hasn't been done to death. 60's bouffants and the starchy, frosted 80's zigzag perms are definitely passé.

8. What's the best hair length? (in general, not necessarily on you)
In general, I'd say anything waist length or longer.

9. What's trendy next summer? Let your imagination run wild!
Don't know, don't care. I've never been one to follow trends.
   If I had to guess, though, I would bet it'd be all of the same things that were trendy this summer...and the summer before that, and the summer before that, etc. etc. Like highlights, streaks and "beach hair."  ::)

1. What's your favourite way of wearing your hair?

Sort of down in a long ponytail, but with those nice scunci hosiery ties all the way down.  Keeps it from getting tangled.  And my hair is a bit thin, so it doesn't look like much when it's up.  Plus I like hats (they protect your hair from the sun!) so it works very well.  I've not really been able to make a bun work with a hat.

But I do love geshia style hairsticks!  And I will use them on really windy days, when I worry that the wind would carry off my hat.

2. Your favourite hair toy (just one, if you can). Why it's your favourite?

Only one?!  I can't decide!

3. Do you have a hairstyle that you would love to wear but can't for some reason (too difficult to make, can't be made with your type of hair etc.)

French bun.  My hair is a bit too long to really carry it off well.  And I've never been able to do a french braid.

4. Who's your long hair idol? (= a person whose long hair you admire and who inspires you)

Well, when I was little I loved the country singer with long hair (whose name I should be able to remember right now.) It's on the tip of my tongue! *sticks out tongue*  Can you see it?  Crytal Gayle!

Now it's more like those anime and Art Nouveau girls.  LOL!


5. Do you try to copy your idol's hairdos?

Not really.  My fave hair dos are those Art Nouveau girls.  don't think you can exactly reproduce that in RL.

6. Do you have any great hair care tip?

Avoid SLS like the plague.  Oh, I found sweet almond oil in a Mexican themed store, despite the spanish label, it was made here in the US.  LOL!

7. What in your opinion is definitely passée?

Those poofy cloudy like hairstyles from the 80s.   And they only worked when you used a can of hairspray.  Can you say "dust mop?"  Especially if you had oily hair, sebum  combined with the hairspray makes your hair attract every speck of dust on planet Earth.   ;D

8. What's the best hair length? (in general, not necessarily on you)

Longer the better, so long as it's healthy.  I've seen a drawing of a plains indian who had hair that looked to be a foot or two longer than he was tall.  *droool*

9. What's trendy next summer? Let your imagination run wild!

Long hair with hats, and ribbons and braids and flowers in the hair.

;D/
BEM

1. What's your favourite way of wearing your hair?
Half ponytail.  It shows off my hair while getting it out of my face, and it's flattering on me
2. Your favourite hair toy (just one, if you can). Why it's your favourite?
I have a double-pronged hairstick that I love.  It stays incredibly well (I can use it for running the mile in gym and it won't fall out).  It's earth tones, so it goes with everything.
3. Do you have a hairstyle that you would love to wear but can't for some reason (too difficult to make, can't be made with your type of hair etc.)
I really like the gibson tuck but my hair is getting too long.  
4. Who's your long hair idol? (= a person whose long hair you admire and who inspires you)
A friend of mine has very long, dark, curly hair.  It's beautiful.
5. Do you try to copy your idol's hairdos?
No.  She always braids it since she doesn't like to take the time for anything else.  I wish she wouldn't; her hair is thick and glossy even though she doesn't oil it or anything.
6. Do you have any great hair care tip?
If you have curly hair--don't brush it and don't touch it while it is drying.
7. What in your opinion is definitely passée?
Flat ironing hair is just stupid.  My aunt has beautiful curls but she straightens her hair everyday so it is so dry it feels like straw.
8. What's the best hair length? (in general, not necessarily on you)
I think about tailbone.  If it gets any longer it is difficult to let down-- which is part of the point, no?
9. What's trendy next summer? Let your imagination run wild!
I hope long hair becomes fashionable.  At the very least, no more boring soft waves on everybody.

hehe Nice resurrection, Callisto.  ;)  I miss Galadriel's polls.
So since I have little else to do at the moment...

1. What's your favourite way of wearing your hair?
Probably just down.

2. Your favourite hair toy (just one, if you can). Why it's your favourite?
The black rose barrettes that I made. They're so goth!  ;)
   
3. Do you have a hairstyle that you would love to wear but can't for some reason (too difficult to make, can't be made with your type of hair etc.)
French braids and French twists. I love the way they look, but I can never get them to look right.
 
4. Who's your long hair idol? (= a person whose long hair you admire and who inspires you)
Definitely Davey Havok in about 2004, when he was my age. Long, black, wavy...the kind of hair I've always coveted.

5. Do you try to copy your idol's hairdos?
No. We have totally different hair types. Plus, his is short now.
 
6. Do you have any great hair care tip?
Get regular trims!
   
7. What in your opinion is definitely passée?
Frosted jeans & huge '80's hair. Yikes to both.  ::)
   
8. What's the best hair length? (in general, not necessarily on you)
I'm partial to waist length, but it depends on the person.  
                                                     
9. What's trendy next summer?
Who knows? It's not even this summer yet.
Besides, I don't follow trends anyway.

1. What's your favourite way of wearing your hair?  
Loose, under jacket/coat/shawl if weather's rough.

2. Your favourite hair toy (just one, if you can). Why it's your favourite?  
I don't use any, my hair isn't long enough.  It used to be those spring clip hair barrettes but now that I know better I wouldn't use them.

3. Do you have a hairstyle that you would love to wear but can't for some reason (too difficult to make, can't be made with your type of hair etc.)
Any updo that works with layers when it reaches a length where that's possible.

4. Who's your long hair idol? Ming-Na Wen.  She's had different lengths and styles and I've liked all of her medium to long styles.

5. Do you try to copy your idol's hairdos?  
I think I'll try to take the tip from her when my hair gets longer.

6. Do you have any great hair care tip?  
Deep condition and regularly condition at least the ends. If you wear your hair loose on a windy day, don't be vain about it, cover it!

7. What in your opinion is definitely passée?  
I hate the shag but sadly it suits me quite well so I end up with it from time to time.

8. What's the best hair length? (in general, not necessarily on you)
BSL is can look good and isn't too difficult to take care of if you can grow your hair that long and most people can with some patience.

9. What's trendy next summer?  1930s-1950s retro inspired (therefor not vintage) long hairstyles.  I'm being selfish, I want it to work with my personal style taste :D  Earbuns!  How could I forget earbuns!

1. What's your favorite way of wearing your hair?  

Down and wavy with front pulled to the side in a bobby pin (this will change as it gets longer i bet)

2. Your favorite hair toy (just one, if you can). Why it's your favorite?  

so far i only use bobby pins but sometimes put in a live flower for fun. hopefully hair sticks eventually

3. Do you have a hairstyle that you would love to wear but can't for some reason (too difficult to make, can't be made with your type of hair etc.)  

loose upside down french braid with the end of the hair cascading down the side in waves. i can't wear it yet because i don't have the length of hair needed for that (i.e. it doesn't exist yet but will!)

4. Who's your long hair idol?  

arwen as played by liv tyler or in real life...victoria lynn on this website   ;D

5. Do you try to copy your idol's hairdos?  

i would love to have that length she has. my hair is the same dark brown as hers. maybe i could pull it partially back with some leaf clips eventually :)

6. Do you have any great hair care tip?  

DON'T CUT IT. THIS IS BIG FOR ME, HA, HA. also i use a little rosemary oil at the very ends.

7. What in your opinion is definitely passée?  

blond highlights that everyone and their mother seems to have.

8. What's the best hair length? (in general, not necessarily on you)  

elbow length at least. then you can really see someone's hair color and texture.

9. What's trendy next summer?  

hopefully vintage jewelry and flat shoes :)  at any rate that's what i'll be wearing.

Ooh, this seems fun!

1. What's your favourite way of wearing your hair?
Currently it is with the ends curled. Or my sock bun, with the ends hanging down. Or just plain and down, though it always just looks messy unless I was to straighten it, which I refuse!!

2. Your favourite hair toy (just one, if you can). Why it's your favourite?
My sock thing! Just because I can either put up all of it in the the bun and let the ends fall down, pin up the ends, or do it halfway. I love it! ^.^

3. Do you have a hairstyle that you would love to wear but can't for some reason (too difficult to make, can't be made with your type of hair etc.)
Well, the one in BB's pic look gorgeous, but I'm pretty sure my hair isn't long enough. And I'm not that great at putting my hair up anyways, so a lot of hairstyles are out for me until I get better at that!

4. Who's your long hair idol? (= a person whose long hair you admire and who inspires you)
Well, a few people! The actress who plays Luna Lovegood, for one. Her hair is pretty. And the fictional Jo March! XD
I also have an anti-idol of my sister, Her hair is so short, I never want it to be that!

5. Do you try to copy your idol's hairdos?
Haha, well, Evanna Lynch(That's Luna's real name!) Had those pretty curls in the movie... I'm gonna go watch it and see if there's any more gold mines of hairstyles in there!

6. Do you have any great hair care tip?
Oh definitely not. I'm probably the worst around here with that :-[
Uh, don't let anyone you know try and ruin your hair for you!!! If you let them, well you won't have anymore hair to care for!!

7. What in your opinion is definitely passée?
Ugh, I'm sick of layers. "Get layers!" "Layers look so cute!" "I want long layers!" They aren't that great.

8. What's the best hair length? (in general, not necessarily on you)
I love lower back length.

9. What's trendy next summer? Let your imagination run wild!
In a years time, I imagine hair will go to great lengths! Everyone will take better care of their hair, and after seeing all of ours from this site, they'll realize long hair is superior and start growing it themselves! Incredibly long hair will be trendy!  :)

1. What's your favourite way of wearing your hair? 
Chinese bun!  Just found out how to do one last week and that's all I've been wanting to do with my hair lately!

2. Your favourite hair toy (just one, if you can). Why it's your favourite? 
My only pair of hair sticks.  They're really awful.  Flimsy plastic with little skulls at the top.  I may not like the way they look, but they hold my hair up like nothing else!  Someday, hopefully sooner as opposed to later, I'll get pretty ones!


3. Do you have a hairstyle that you would love to wear but can't for some reason (too difficult to make, can't be made with your type of hair etc.)
I used to wear my hair in braids wrapped around my head, I can hardly wait until I can do that again!


4. Who's your long hair idol?
When I was five I saw Star Wars for the very first time, and the closing scene of the 1st movie (Episode IV now) Princess Leia is wearing her hair in a piled kind of bun with this beautiful long piece hanging loose.  That's when I decided I was going to grow my hair out.

5. Do you try to copy your idol's hairdos? 
Yes!  I wore side cinabons forever!  Lol, my mom thought I was kinda goofy.  :)  In our family it was a little joke that Mom was Princess Leia and Dad was Han Solo, and we (the kids) were the happy ever after.

6. Do you have any great hair care tip? 
It doesn't matter how expensive or cheap the products, if they don't work for you switch to something else!  If you're worried about waste, see if your friends or family would like to try the product or find an alternate use for it.  Also, cold/lukewarm water is amazing on my hair!

7. What in your opinion is definitely passée?
The constant flat ironing and blowdrying stylists think is so necessary!  Gah, I got sooo tired of it!

8. What's the best hair length? (in general, not necessarily on you)
Whatever you're happiest with and makes you feel the most confident and happy.

9. What's trendy next summer?
Everyone suddenly decides that ren faires are awesome, as is LOTR.  The boutiques fill with beautiful delicate merchandise and brocade corsets.  Wooot!
