I don't have any strong objection to plaits (as long as they're not sticking out from under a Viking helmet) but my mental image doesn't have them (for which I blame Karl Urban. :-D)

It really all depends on whether this is book or film canon. Doesn't the book describe the Rohirrim as having their hair in braids?

I picture her in braids, always have. Too many years in the SCA I guess. But wait,when I first read the books the SCA didn't exist yet.
Still I picture her in long braids with a band around her head.
Must have been the Robin Hood Movies. And I'm sticking to that reason. :)

What could he have but a pony tail?

Is this for your banquet costume? If so, I am sure that Eomer had long plaits with pretty pink ribbons, and flowers in his hair.

Bad segh, no Evenstar.

:D

Eomer, not Eowyn ...

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is; now, where can I get a wig like that ... ? ;-)

(Although in practice, of course, I won't get round to doing any more to my costume, and will merely turn up with the two bits I've already got).

Possibly ... will check.

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

Not the greatest transgression, though ...

[lil-shepherd.livejournal.com]

If both my copies of LotR weren't in boxes at the moment, I'd check myself...

*blink* *blink* Adjusts reading glasses. OOPS.
Anypath - I saw HIM in braids too. Just with the leather band instead of the pretty one she would wear. Long hair out of braids is a PITA, gets matted easily and other such nonsense. I know mine is waist length. YMMV
Besides all the old pictures show the men in braids as well. So it's an established vision.
As for a Pony Tail? *sigh* segh that was bad. XD
