I do the bun knot thing just about every day for work, it's so easy. My hair is starting to get ridiculously long again.
I used to get the whole Carol Ann from Poltergeist all the time when I was a kid, I had the exact same hair as Princess L, except maybe a shade darker. Everyone used to make me say "they're heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
eeeeeeeeere."
