Right now I'm washing my hair once a week and today is the 6th day.  I'm going out to dinner and didn't want to just do a pony tail and this is what I came up with:







I used a ponytail elastic to hold the bun in place, then used two spin pins and a few Amish hairpins to anchor it.  All of the braids are held with bobby pins and the ends are held by Patrick Cameron elastics-they're really small but very stretchy and hair friendly.
