Good for long straight hair, but they just don't look right on my mid length curly hair :S

I used to love this style, but I had my hair chopped off earlier this year so I will have to wait for it to grow before I can do something similar.

I like this type of hair for days when I want to wear my hair down but still have it out of my face. I'm going to try these styles. Wearing it with a fancy clip is my favourite look for summer.

Gosh I haven't worn my hair like this since high school! I think I prefer either up in a ponytail or all out now

I love a half-pony or half-plait. My tip is to part my hair in an upside-down V shape instead of a straight horizontal part. I start just above my ears & meet at the crown. Doing both sides at the same times ensures that both sides are symmetrical.

Love the first style. She makes braiding your own hair look so easy. Something I've tried very hard at and failed miserably.

I like all of these but generally just have my hair in a ponytail so that my hair is off my face.
