Back when I had elbow length hair, I used to wear a lot of hoodies (obviously not at work) and after tying all the hair back in a loose and low ponytail, I would toss it into the hoodie.
For work, it would be a french braid or a french braid based low bun at the base of my neck.
I donated to locks of love twice and now everytime I have a bad headache, I keep on thinking of cutting my hair
even though it's nowhere near the length it used to be.
