It is bothersome to keep an up-do in place when you have long hair. Try something a litle more simple and low on the head to keep the up-do from falling out. This simple braided up-do is what you looking for.....

Braided Up-Do For Long Hair

Let me know when you try it and tell me what you think.

Brandi, I read your article, I washed my hair last night so will try it in a couple of days.

Wonderful! I wore my hair in this style today and recieved a lot of compliments.

Yeah, surly, it is what I am looking for, thanks for sharing, I would try it as long as I go home.
