I think it looks adorable. When my hubby used to have his long hair, I would put braids in it, put it in pigtails...I mean, okay, he didn't go out in public with most of the styles I did, but nevertheless, he looked sooo cute. He did go out with some of the tiny braids I put in though.
That's ok. You're talking to a man who used to have a mohawk. I don't worry too much about looking silly.
