For Mermayd...

This is a style that I saw Tiffanie on the Long Hair Community show in her avatar. Now, since TLHC is down, my link to it no longer works. Mermayd, I hope this is the style you were describing on the main board. If not, it is a great style and is easy as well as comfortable. Okay here goes:
First I gather all of my hair into a pony.

Next, I coil most of it and grab it in the middle with my right hand:

Where I grab it with my right hand, I twist so that the part in my left hand goes under the twist. I twist the top portion a couple more times and it ends up looking like this:
and this: I secure the top portion with my scrolled slide, but I do think a hairstick would work, too. The finished product is a little off center, so I had to adjust it after I got to work, but you get the idea:


Well, let me know what you think!
