My hair is ridiculously big here in Shanghai. I have to wear it up in a high bun most of the time to tame it.
Tamed, ish
When it is let down, it poofs up huge. Luckily I am skilled at bringing it under control. Here’s the way I braided, tied, and generally subdued my hair this morning.
Tada!
Braided and Tied
