5-strand French braid

Hi everyone,

Today I braided my hair in a 5-strand French braid.  My bun is actually a regular 3-strand braid that I wound up and clipped in place with little butterfly clips.

Blue Lace Updo

Hi everyone,

     Yesterday I fixed my hair in two lace braids and a French braid, and put the length of my hair into a braided bun.  I pulled on sections of the braid to give my bun a loose, poofy look.  Coming up with a new name for a hairstyle can be difficult sometimes, but since I was wearing my favorite color and had lace braids~ Blue Lace Updo it is :-)

Palm Sunday Braided Bun

Hello friends,

I wish you all a very beautiful Palm Sunday and a happy International Day of Happiness (apparently it's a genuine day :-)  I loved taking hair pictures in front of the banana trees this morning, a special tropical flare.  My hairstyle was 5 English braids gathered into a high ponytail which I then turned into a braided bun.  It's nice to have my hair up and off my neck on hot sunny days like today.

Braided bun in the afternoon

Hi everybody,

     I waited to take hair pictures until the late afternoon when the light was softer.  Today my look was a simple braided bun, so easy and yet still nice :-)  I hope you all have a wonderful week-end.  Thank you for visiting my page!

French Rope Updo~ my look for today

Hi everyone,

     The sky was rather overcast this morning, but still a great day for taking hair pictures :-)  I washed my hair last night but first I used my new monoi oil from Tahiti instead of my coconut oil.  I'm so thankful to my sweet friend in Holland for suggesting I try monoi oil!  It is amazing and smells absolutely wonderful.  I also used an apple cider vinegar rinse~ a great way to clean your hair and make it extra-soft every few months or so.

     By the way, a friend asked where I get my small hair clips.  Usually I find them at Ross stores when I'm traveling in the US, and in Europe I found them in other stores as well.  I love using small clips as apposed to bobby pins, they seem to hold my hair much better and don't tug or hurt as the day goes on.

     Thank you for visiting my blog!  And remember to check out my new Facebook page when you get a chance.  Have a beautiful day and I hope to see you again soon <3

 

  

Pink Lace Braids Updo

Hello friends,

     Today I parted my hair in the tear-drop form that I learned from my friend Raychel in her book about hair-braiding.  Raychel's book is amazing, by the way, I highly recommend it!
     Thankfully the storm seems to be passing by without causing much damage to our islands.  How fun to take hair pictures with pink flowers in the background to match my favorite pink t-shirt from my trip to England in September.
