    Default Medium length hair...Boorrriiinnng....

    I have dark hair that is right past my shoulders. I'm trieng to grow it out. But, I HATE the length it is right now because it just looks so boring when it's down. I usually wear it up, but in the same style- a ponytail or I twist it up. Any ideas for some simple updos or styles I can do at work?

    I know how you feel! I had med/short hair for a LONG time and it is just getting long (although I did love it that length!)! Why not pull the sides up with really pretty flower barrettes. It's pretty girly so if you're not into it you might feel funny but it's so adorable!

    I would do hot rollers and wear it down for a more glamourous look

    Would it not be smart to get a loose body wave? Would it make my hair shrink extra short since it's only shoulder length (maybe a little longer)?

    Nope, a perm will damage your hair and won't help the process of growing it out.

    mine's at about that length now, and i've been playing with different ponytail placement, as well as occasionally pigtails (i figure i still look like i'm barely out of high school, i might as well go with it)

    i also have some super cute but decidedly not overtly girly clips - my favourites are little black pvc bows with skulls in the middle

    You can try clip in extensions. I just went through that phase with my hair.

    Oh, pigtails are so cute if they're a little loose and slightly sloppy!!! My fave are right near the base of the neck behind the ears.

    I love this idea. I wish I knew how to make them though.

    Try going to a wig store and buying a fall. They blend in with your own hair and still add length. I wore one a lot on New Orleans.

    The high pigs look silly on me.

    Flower barrettes? Just buy some hair clips like these and silk flowers from a craft store and hot glue them! I like to take apart the flower, hot glue them onto the barrettes where I want them and then place rhinestones in the center!

    I love pigtails placed low near the ears, kinda messy! It's my favorite for the beach, for summer, or for when I need to look cute but my hair is messy. I don't like the look of higher placed ones so much. Too young looking.

    Clip ins would be a great option for you.
