Blue Lace Updo

Hi everyone,

     My hairstyle today ended up matching the blue lace panel on the back of my shirt, so I'll call this my blue lace updo.  I made a 4-strand braid on one side of my head, using the braiding pattern that Lilith Moon explains so clearly in this video.  Instead of using a chain accent, I made a small English braid and used that as the 4th strand in my braid.  Then I piled my hair into a high bun and wrapped my braid around my bun.

4-strand blossom braids~ a beautiful new favorite

Hello my friends,

     Just when I think I've found a favorite braid, another favorite happens <3  My look today ended up being four random 4-strand braids, meaning that I made no parts before I started braiding.  I just took a small section of hair, split it in four sections, and began my braid, adding hair as I went down.  I put my braids into a low ponytail and pulled on the edges to give them a blossom effect.  Because the braids were 4-strand rather than Dutch braids, the pulled-out sections looked like overlapping loops.  This reminded me of a Micronesian ginger lei, where the stems of the flowers overlap each other in loops.
     I finished my braided hairstyle off with a low bun, and took pictures outside in our front yard underneath a beautiful blooming bougainvillea tree.  Thank you for coming to see my post, and I hope you have a wonderful week-end.

Christmas Day hairstyle~ 4-strand Mohawk braid

     Merry Christmas, my friends!  I decorated my Christmas t-shirt myself~ such a cute puppy on the front.  I love French bulldogs :-)
     I wanted to make sure my hair didn't get caught in the decorations, so I put it up in a bun after making two small English braids as accents to a center 4-strand Mohawk braid.  There were a few present decorations left over from my t-shirt, so I put them on bobby pins and put them in my hair.
     I hope you have a lovely day full of joy, peace and love <3

  

 

 

4-Strand Braided Updo

Hello everyone,

We are having some stormy weather in the islands, but thankfully this morning was beautiful and just right for taking hair pictures :-)  I fixed my hair in a sideways 4-strand braid, and kept the side bun loosely held in place with tiny hairclips.  A fun way to fix long hair when you want it up but still slightly visible from the front.
