Megan Williams just put up a review of the zentai hood, which looks like it may be another useful option. Makes you look like a ninja too, which is cool.
Hi there, I’m about to take up brazian jiu jitsu and need ideas for containing my hair. Not ready to let my locks go just yet. What is the best and safest way to tie it head? I looked for your galley but turned up nothing.
My hair is, at its longest point, between the bra line and my waist.
Any advice is appreciated!!
Hi fiona, there were some problems with my server and I lost some info, including the gallery (which will be reinstated as soon as poss). Meantime, it is also available on Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.217227644975620.59886.174537805911271&type=3. As far as ‘the best’ way, I couldn’t say – it is so individual! For me it has always been to have shorter hair, practical, funky and easy to maintain, so I couldn’t comment on personal experience of tying up longer hair. However, there are some good ideas in the album on Facebook that may help you. Good luck!
Linked to this in my latest post Thanks so much, Meg!!

Great post, Natalie! Oh I hear you. I only have the one young baby, but childcare and training is still a major struggle. We only have the one, but we have the issue of no family locally and my husband’s work hours and make evening classes pretty much a no go at this time. Very fine balance act and like you say, just keep doing what you can!
