The bun is a good one. I also really like to wear my hair french-braided. While it took a while to learn this one, my girlfriend got me addicted to it. I find that if I do a good job on it, people don't give me a hard time about it, and they actually like it.
Lance,
I like to wear my hair in a French braid, too, and I agree that the neater the braid is the more accepting of it others seem to be. Have you had your girlfriend braid yours for you? Do you ever go to a stylist for a French braid? If not, try it; it really makes a difference, and it looks really sleek and elegant. Plus, it'll stay in for two-three days if you "maintain" it a little with some hairspray.
Keep me posted

Yes, my girlfriend has french braided my hair. She just started doing it one day and I liked the way it felt....so she kept doing it on and off. Then she finally got me to go out in public with it. After a while she started getting tired of braiding my hair all the time, so she taught me to braid her hair so I could do my own. I've gotten pretty good at it now. I have not had it "professionally" braided though.
can you show me differnt ways to put up this type of hair?
i Want to put my own hair up for a party
try a bun or something of that nature
