It depends on how much time I have. If I shower with enough time, I let my hair dry, then I use a flat iron and wear it down. But, if I get in the shower thirty minutes before I have to be at work, it gets pulled up (one bun, two buns, ponytail, two ponytails, pigtails, whatever...I try not to do the same twice in a row!). Ponytails and pigtails are way cute, but, if I want to look more my age, I wear it down and straight.
