Long hair vs. clothes
For me it's pretty common sense that I first do my hair, then I get dressed, undress then undo my hair before getting in the shower; simply because if I'd let my hair down while dressing/undressing, it'd wrap around my clothes and tangle badly. I'd risk damage untangling it.
Another plus is the freedom I have to work with my arms when I don't have a fluffy pullover.
Even a very long braid is more compact and manageable than 150k hair strands spread on at least half a meter in every direction possible (the minimum length where hair is seen as long. It's also the bra-strap-length mostly). So in summer when I take off the hair stick out of my bun, I still have my hair compacted - in a braid.
For people who think something like "how does she go to toilet with that hair?", I can safely say they lost the last bit of common sense. (Why don't they state the same thing about long nails though?).
Even before I found the long hair community I wrapped my armpit long hair in the ugliest beebutt before I got dressed or undressed.
In winter I like to flatten my buns with spin- and u-pins, so I can wear a tight beanie. Not even piercing my head trough a tight turtle neck can unravel my updo if it's pinned to stay (french braided updo base is the best).
Yes, there's a difference between going-bald tight updo and the LHC-version of a stable updo. Flattening your updo on a larger area of your head is the trick. By flattening I mean making an updo base that's spread on a larger area of your head. Wrap your braid around a french braid vs make a ponytail and wrap the rest of your hair around the ponytail base (don't fluff it!) The braided bun is much larger than the unpancaked bun.
