Rose Bun

Back again!
My hairstyle for today is constructed with 5 rope braids - two from the front, one at the crown and two more at the bottom. Very pretty I think!



Until next time!

Fabulous French Five Strand

I'm so excited - not only did I master the five strand braid, I managed to do the French version as well! This is my second attempt, with two braids coming from the front. I used these for two of the five strands.

The result..

Diagonal Dutch with Accent Braid

Today's hairstyle is a diagonal dutch braid with an accent braid on the left side. This has become a 
new favourite, being so quick and pretty. It's also a great way to keep the hair out of my face.




Unfortunately, the braid isn't as tidy as I would like because I had to braid it while damp. Some find it a lot easier to style on damp hair, but I find that my hair tends to stick together at the ends making sectioning difficult. This in turn leads to the sound of breaking hair!

Finally bought some henna the other day - hopefully will be able to post the results tomorrow.
Laters!

Hairstyles Past and Previous..

To give myself a headstart on my hairstyle compilation I thought I would post pictures of some styles I have done in the past.



A variation on TorrinPaige's Victorian updo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7N7_7_NlnF0)



A LaDollyVita33 hairstyle (check her out on YouTube! Fantastic tutorials), though unfortunately I cannot remember which one it was specifically!

My absolute favourite hairstyle! Wore this as a bridesmaid for my cousins wedding. Not the best picture, will have to upload another later.

Same style from the side

I think I might do a diagonal dutch braid tomorrow, with an accent braid on one side tomorrow..

Until next time!

Regency Rose Bun

I love this hairstyle. In a fit of self-indulgence last night I decided to curl my hair overnight. The plan was to put it up in a Regency inspired hairstyle, with curls hanging down the back.
This is what resulted (after a whole day of wearing the style, hence the fly-aways):



Very pleased with the style.
For the sake of remembering how I created it: the style consisted of one main rope braid at the back/crown of the head (ponytailed) which was then pinned into a rose bun, with two accent rope braids coming from the front pinned around the bun. Finally, I chose the most intact curl, rope braided it (leaving a long tail), wrapped it around the bun and pinned it at the bottom so that the curl hung down.

Hi there!

To anyone that may so happen to read this - welcome!
This is going to be a space to keep a record of the plethora of hairstyles I do on a daily basis, and is an attempt to motivate me to be more creative with my hair.
