How to create girly hairstyles

[ShineyShiney]

I like to cross dress, and my hair is shoulder length. I've been growing for almost 2 years now, and up until 2 years ago, I cut it every month or so. I realized the other day that the only thing I ever did with it was tie it back in a pony, or let it free.

Last weekend, while at the club in skimpy drag, I had my friend tie my hair in two high ponytails. It was awesome!

What else can I do? This is the first time I've had long hair, and it won't be around forever. I tried a Google image search to get ideas, but I wasn't having much luck.

Please share any ideas that are easy to do for beginners, such as different ways to tie or braid it.

Nothing too tricky

If this is your first time having long hair, I'm not going to suggest things like go out and buy a curling iron, crimps, and etc. (though maybe your friend can curl your hair for you those nights out)

Something I still do for a quick change up of my long hair is before bed and after my shower I would braid it to get cute waves in the morning. It's quite simple; with damp (not too wet though) hair I would brush it out with mousse or gel, section into parts and braid it tightly then twist them up close to my scalp, secure and sleep with them in. If they are still a bit moist in the morning, you can use a blow dryer while they are still braided, undo them and voila! Your choice if you want to hairspray, wear it naturally, or flip them upside down and scrunch with mousse.

Sock buns are easy as well! Cut the two part of a sock, tie hair into a pony tail, pull the hair through the tube of the sock, grab the end of the hair and roll down then secure. Google the video for this one, it's fun, quick and easy. You can put in a flow or bow to make it fancy or cute.

I like up-braids: I make two braids on the side and pin them up to make a crown.

There are lots of great hair videos on youtube.

Spend some time learning how to french braid. From there you can learn how to fish tail. French braids are fairly versatile. They'e a good alternative to pigtails and ponytails and you can use the technique in combination with buns and ponytails.
Personally, I love messy buns. They're quick and easy and casual.
If not, there's always half up half down or french twists. Hope that helped
I also like those sticks that you can poke in your hair for decoration. You know, like in Asian movies?

....really?

 

[PrincessLeigha]

Haha! Yes. If you put them in right, it keep the hair in place. Also a good place for pencils while studying

No. I meant "really" in the rather culturally insensitive way you turned your phrase.

They're called Chopsticks.

 

[Lord Pmann]

I'm Asian and there's not an Asian person in my family or that I know that would be offended by the fact that someone called them sticks. In fact, they're actually called hair sticks.

It's annoying as fuck when people act offended on the behalf of another race when there is no reason to be offended.

 

[PrincessLeigha]

Chopsticks are for eating with. Just saying. But on behalf of my Japanese roots I thank you, satindesire for defending me against myself. I understand that I wasn't precisely politically correct in my phrasing, but maybe before calling me out, you should check what you're saying and analyse it for the same fault.

It's not about the word Chopsticks, it's about the "In those Asian movies" context. Now STFU and GTFO, asshole. You don't like me and I don't fucking like you either, so no conversation we will EVER have will be a friendly one.

And how exactly was I not being culturally sensitive, Princess?

PS guys, as a beauty insider, I'm WELL aware of the fact that it's fully acceptable to call them Hair Sticks, Hair Chopsticks or Chopsticks. So yeah, I'm not wrong. Sorry to burst all your bubbles.

 

[PrincessLeigha]

I am sorry, satindesire. I was merely using "Asian Movies" as a frame of reference for someone who may not be as learned and worldly as yourself.
As for "chopsticks", growing up they always came in sets of two and you never put them in your hair because someone would eventually use them for eating. Historically, I have no doubt they were multi-purpose, but alas, it was my upbringing. I shall defer to your knowledge in the future when differentiating between chopsticks and chopsticks.

FWIW, pmann is one of the nicest guys on Lit. Hey, pmann.

 

[satindesire]

FWIW, pmann is one of the nicest guys on Lit. Hey, pmann.

Yeah, well, people say that about me, too. Obviously they're wrong.

 

[Lord Pmann]

You're right, I don't like you. You use terms like "beauty insider". That makes you sound like a fucking idiot. And you berate people for saying the words "Asian Movies". How the fuck is that offensive? Do you have any idea what that word actually means? Movies made in Asia are Asian movies, by definition, you self absorbed twat.

As a beauty insider, a self absorbed twat or whatever ridiculous title you want to dub yourself, you are still wrong. Being a beauty insider doesn't make you an expert on what's offensive to Asian people. So yeah, you are wrong.

Yeah, well, people say that about me, too. Obviously they're wrong.

People say you're the nicest guy on lit?

And thank you very much LadyVer. That was very kind to say.

 

[Lord Pmann]

And how exactly was I not being culturally sensitive, Princess?

By defending a culture of which you are not a part and having no fucking clue what is offensive. By being smug and condescending towards people who would actually know something about what would be offensive to someone from that culture. It's the equivalent of telling a black person they shouldn't refer to Tyler Perry movies as black comedies, because that is offensive.

That's how you are not being culturally sensitive.

You may have the corner on the beauty market (that was said with every big of sarcasm that is in me), but your attempts to make all things politically correct make you look like a donkey's ass. As does your "Noble Prize" winning beauty thread, but that's another topic.

It's Nobel, you twat.

 

[satindesire]

Lookit me! I'm being a hypocrite again! I like telling people that they're self absorbed twats while being a totally self absorbed twat myself! BLAH BLAH BLAH WORDS! ANGRY NERDRAGE BLAH BLAH! I'm CLEARLY smarter than you and why won't you just admit it?! I'M BETTER THAN YOU WHY ARE YOU SO MUCH MORE SOCIALLY RELEVANT THAN ME IT'S NOT FAAAAIIIIIRRRRRRR!!!!!
WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Oh, I'm sorry, did baby miss his nappy poo? Go fuck yourself, you are LITERALLY too stupid to insult.

 

[Lord Pmann]

Oh god. I'll take my "noble prize" and head home.

And you need to look up the word literally, you fuckwit. You've completely made an ass of yourself and can't defend it. So you make yourself look more ridiculous.

 

[satindesire]

It's a joke. Noble/Nobel. I know the fucking difference, you slackjawed mouthbreather. OBVIOUSLY a lit thread can't win a fucking NOBEL PRIZE. But again, I can't expect you to "get it" when your two brain cells are too soaked in Mountain Dew and Porn to create any sparks of brilliance.

I LITERALLY do not CARE if you think I look ridiculous. If I cared what you thought, I'd be nice to you. But since I don't, I don't have to be nice to someone I think is a complete hypocrite that projects all his own flaws and insecurities on other people.

 

[Lord Pmann]

You're right Rainshine. I am no beauty insider. I don't have such important threads to win a noble prize.

I may be slack jawed. And a mouth breather. And a porn addict. But I do NOT drink Mountain Dew!!!!

And nice try on trying to save your misspell you fucktard. 0. That's the amount of people who believe that shit.

You obviously don't care what I think. And of course that's cool. But what you don't realize, is everyone else here thinks you look like a fucking idiot too. You're shameless, ridiculous self promotion is vile. The way you talk about yourself is fucking delusional.

And I'm not projecting any flaws and insecurities on anyone. Or you, for that matter. I just think you're an idiot.

 

[Lord Pmann]

Thanks for the support PMs against this soulless hagbeast.

 

[ElijaRDC]

And you need to look up the word literally

Unfortunately, you'll find that Merriam-Webster has recently expanded the definition of "literally" to encompass the oh-so-fashionable, yet incorrect, usage of the word. I thank Ms. Satindesire for the fine example. I think it's bullshit that ignorance like this gets official endorsement, but that is certainly nothing new.

Well in that case, I'll be the Nobel one here and apologize.



Oddly, this isn't the first time she's been issued this apology.

Since it pisses you off so much, I LITERALLY am going to continue using it just to watch you twitch and froth. It's hysterical!

But -Really-? --EVERYONE--, all the people on Lit? You speak for ALL the people on Lit just like you speak for ALL Asian people and ALL of everyone else, too? You're so pompous I LITERALLY am constantly amazed at the new depths you're sinking to in order to attempt to insult me.

That's great, though. I LITERALLY think you're an idiot too.
