Many, many moons ago when I had hip length hair and I was working with horses I would put oil on my hair and the either braid it, put scruchies down the length or wear it in a pony tail. During the summer I always wore a hat weather a baseball cap or a cowboy hat. During the winter I would wear a hat if it was drizzling heavily, otherwise I wouldn't wear one.
My braids were basic french or dutch. I like to change around the style daily. The way I learned to due a french or dutch braid is when my mom bought me a book on how to do the braids yourself. Took a lot of practice, but I got it eventually.
As for your hair falling out of the braid you can try braiding when your hair is wet, but depending upon your hair type, that may not work. You could try putting a cute little clips on the side to help hold the hair in place.
