My mother insisted in keeping my long whispy thin blonde hair either in two braids or two ponytails. (hair to fine to stay in just one.) I hated those styles and as soon as I turned 12 they were gone forever, ah! but then forever only lasted until my first son was born and I didn't have the time to pamper myself or my hair and BLAM, out came the pony tail, only one but still the ponytail. Wore that ugly thing alot for a couple of years then put it to rest forever, again!!! Hair has been worn fairly short ever since so no chance of back sliding yet once more....
