answer:I love braiding hair into a ponytail! It looks really pretty, I don’t think it’s gotten old :/ This won’t answer your question on braiding but if you want to try a different hairstyle, try putting it in a curly bun – even when they’re messy with a few strands hanging out they look nice. Also, my friend has really curly hair and she puts hers in a ponytail, twists it up and secures it in a clip, if you get what I mean. Does your hair get less frizzy when you blowdry it? Have you tried defrizzing products? That way you can still get curly hair but it’s controled, and you can then wear it in a ponytail, bun whatever. I like the idea of braiding it into a bun too, or into a full-on plait. Sorry, I don’t have any instructions, but still, I hope this helped. :)
