Hot-Cross Bun for Orthodox Easter

Happy Easter to all my friends who celebrate this Sunday!

Today I made a sideways four-strand French braid, a little farther back than where a hairband braid would go.  I gathered hair from both sides at first, then only from the side closest to my face. This had a half-crown look when I finished my braid.  I put the rest of my hair into a middle ponytail, then wrapped it around a hairclip and into a bun.  I criss-crossed the length of my braid over my bun, so in honor of the Easter season, a hot-cross bun but with hair.
