messy knots

i have been told all my life that i have great hair. it's healthy, thick (although not as thick as it was when i was 16), long, and it has some wave. but inevitably someone will wonder why i don't do anything with it. wash, brush, and go - that's my hair routine.  i really don't do much with it. i fantasize about it but it seems like such effort when i could simply wear it down or put it back in a ponytail. recently, i came across a few hairdo tutorials in the land of blogs.  i am loving the knot.  who knows, maybe i will give one of these a try one day.
