My hair is on its way to hitting my collar but I have a few more months before that happens. When it does, I think I will start pinning the back up in this manner.

I have long hair, too, and if I did not squeeze out the water in my hair I would flood the bathroom. After I rinse out my conditioner (at the end of my shower), I squeeze my hair out really well.

I am noticing a trend. Last night was my 4th henna treatment. I had only had the henna on for 2 hours when the back of my head begins to itch.
