French braid and rope braid combo~ my look for today

Hi everyone,

     After my absolute favorite short hairstyle from yesterday, I washed my hair last night.  I used vanilla-scented monoi oil instead of coconut oil before washing my hair, and this morning my hair was still rather damp.  But that was okay, because I was able to make this French braid and rope braid combination, always a nice choice for any occasion...even an ordinary Thursday :-)

Lace Braid Mix-up

Hi everyone,

Today I decided to mix things up a bit, and made a lace braid hairstyle with one lace braid on the left side but two lace braids on the right side.  I combined all my hair into a low bun, and was finished making my hairstyle for the day.  I guess instead of OOTD posts, I post my HOTD ("hairstyle of the day") :-)

French Lace

Hi everyone,

I saw an idea for a new hairstyle on Instagram, combining lace braids and a French braid in a way I had not tried before.  First, I sectioned off small sections of hair on each side of my head then I made the center French braid.  Then I started with the left section of loose hair and lace braided it down to just above my ear.  Then I stopped adding hair from that side, continued the braid without adding hair long enough to reach the right side where I continued lace braiding while adding hair from that side for a change.  I criss-crossed back to the left side and finished gathering the rest of my loose hair, and finally crossed back to the right side once more and finished gathering all the loose hair on that side.  I wove the smaller end of my lace braid through the end of my French braid, then folded my braid up to about waist length and clipped it in place with tiny hair clips.  Hopefully pictures will explain much more clearly :-)  All day long, wherever I went, people would randomly come up and tell me how much they loved this hairstyle~ so kind of them, and always a nice thing to hear!

Dutch & Lace Braid Combo~ my look for today

Hi everybody,

Thank you so much for all the views on our Micronesian coconut oil video, we had so much fun making this video together!  Today I fixed my hair in a diagonal lace braid and Dutch braid, with a side braided bun.  I pulled on the sides of my Dutch braid just a little bit to give it more volume.  Thanks for coming to see my pictures!  I hope you have a great week-end.
